4.0 out of 5 stars Strong, but not the ultimate..., March 19, 2000

This is quite a strong recording, in terms of song content and perfomance. However, Todd's voice, at times, seems a bit strained, and Prairie Prince's drumming is a little too heavy-handed for the deftness of the soulful material included. Be these problems as they may, overall, this is a CD that should belong in the collection of every TR fan. As a true believing fan since early 1980, I advise every Todd fan to purchase this collection. Maybe even better than "Back To The Bars."

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best..., March 19, 2000

By 

Paul Colombo (the Philly area) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live in Chicago 91 (Audio CD)

This was a great tour and is a great CD. The sound is excellent. Standouts include Jesse Gress' guitar playing, Todd waxing Marvin, the excellent background vocal arrangements and tightness of the band. Also, what a treat to hear "Something To Fall Back On" with real instruments and "Hello It's Me" with a different shuffle-style feel. Any fan of Todd's Philly soul influence will dig this alot. This CD shows how well Todd can take a musical style/inluence and use it to make a highly personal musical statement. This is as close to art as rock gets and still have the trappings of pop music. Get this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't miss out on this one!, September 25, 1999

Even if you missed this tour--or even this phase in TR's career this one CD set will go a long way with your cd player. It was an expensive tour with and enourmous band and most of the best stuff from 2nd Wind performed exquisitely. It's also the only "official" release of Jesse, which you will all want to play for your friends. So any way you look at it and no matter WHICH todd you like, I suspect this show will not disappoint. The Japan-Only live albums are all wonderful, but rapidly disappering. No word yet if they will have an american release, but the price is fair for what you get. The packaging (as with all 3 so far) is a nice, recycled-paper mini-gatefold lp style which could have included some color photos of "the world's most dangerous back-up singers", but then again, it's still a damn nice presentation. Let's hope the next release is the "I" tour, where all the stuff missing on this release gets the Guitar-Star treatment!
