I saw him in Tulsa (not Enid!) around a year before, and he was one of the most charismatic performers I've ever seen. He spent what seemed like the last half of the show walking up and down and top of the retaining wall in front of the stage, grasping hand after hand of those of us audience who had pressed up to the front.

I knew I read it somewhere, so I Googled it, and sho' nuff, there you were. Todd is underrated IMO. I never knew of another person of color who appreciated Todd like I do. Nice to see this here. I've been checking in on your blog ever since I tripped over it while following all the OWS coverage.

I hope to clarify some stuff - Yes the whole show ran live that night. I know because I sat in my parent's living room and watched it on the local TV station, while listening to it on the Buzzard WMMS on the stereo. Not all of what is on Back to the Bars is from this show but this song, remixed and mastered is the performance from BTTB. There is other stuff that wasn't used on that album from this concert, that was shown that night. Boy, would I love to get my hands on that!!!

That's also where I saw Jethro Tull (twice - John Evan didn't even turn around when the naked girl jumped up on stage behind him during his piano solo), Yes (twice, unfortunately - the second time was very cursory), Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group opening for the Mahavishnu Orchestra... and KISS. I walked out on KISS.
