Finally, more Todd on dvd. This comes across more like a Todd show with Time Heals and The Wheel being the centerpieces, but we are still On The Road To Utopia. There's Caravan, One World and Back On The Street to let you know it is Utopia. The boys were playing shorter shows on this tour and the only thing that can disappoint you is that they're too short!

Todd uses one of Eric Clapton old guitars for this for this show, the painted SG, so the guitar sounds a little compressed. He does break out "ricky" for Love In Action though. After all, it IS Utopia. There's plenty of soaring guitar with Rog's adept synth playing backed by Kaz and Willie. Time Heals and The Wheel though are definitely the show grabbers for me.

How come nobody know who these guys are??

One hopes that we will soon see "An Evening With Utopia" on dvd as it is the longest of the live show on video. The only thing that could improve the discs would be...the directors cuts...you know, the rest of the shows...

I think this Video is great... especially if you're a Todd and Utopia fan. Not the best Video quality, but it's a fantastic slice of the Past. A good time is guaranteed for all.

(This Show plus the Music Video of Cry Baby and a Remastered version of the Oblivion Album, has been re-released on Cherry Records/Esoteric Recordings in the UK:
