For more than 50+ years, through thick and thin, fame and indifference, Todd has NEVER failed to entertain. His shows are ALWAYS First Class, a treat to the ears and the eyes. Thank you Todd, for the decades of wonder you have bestowed upon us. We are truly blessed by your gifts.
I was there for the 9/6/09 show and nearly shit my pants when he came out in the spacesuit. Coolest thing I had ever seen. This show was everything I had imagined and ever dreamt it would be. At one point I just closed my eyes and allowed "The Medley" to reverberate through my body, flashing back through all the times I'd put this disc on a turntable ... and imagined a show JUST. LIKE. THIS. The highlight of my 17 Todd shows, no doubt.
I was at that concert and just sat there, blown away - more than the first time I played that album on my turntable in high school, 30 years before. OMG I love this song.
Brilliant song to open with and incredible visual treat. Akron, the home of new wave legends Devo. Reminding me of Zappa's early fave guitar, Todd and guitarist both playing Gibson SG Cherrys and they look like 2 xTodds. Beautful colour montage on Todd's Gibson. So surreal to open a show with this.

Todd's guitar is a replica from The Fool that was originally Eric Clapton's guitar but later went to Todd, who sold the guitar at an auction for 150.000 dollar .The Fool was a Dutch art collective.
Thanks a lot, i didnt know about The Fool or that it was owned by Clapton. Made me think of the brilliant Gary Moore's Gibson Les Paul. FM founder Peter Green let Gary have his Les Paul, as Gary loved it, for only what he paid for it, like & 150 or so. Years later, that guitar graced some of Gary's most iconic solos, he got very sick and cancelled a tour. He was in huge debt and was forced to sell it to a leading guitar dealer/trader. Price i heard was 400-500k and shortly after he sold it to current owner Metallica's K. Hammett for $2mill. If only Gary had help to sell direct to him would be fair. I will not be surprised if you already know this story.
Sept 7, in conjunction with Akron concert, Todd, family, Kasim, maybe Roger, had a signing party at Rock Hall. Rock Hall said it was the largest crowd ever to show for a signing event.
The concert was a note for note recreation of the the LP. A friend of mine who attended said between the music and the costumes the effect of the show was “jaw dropping.”
I feel like there is actually a real musical ART time machine? This video is from 2009 and my family just last night in Miami Beach at the Fillmore, Witnessed virtually the exact same show. All of his fan favorites on part 1 then after intermission they played a flawless recreation of side 1 of AWATS. I was searching for people uploading videos from last night and found only this? less than 5000 views?? I bet that will change soon?
Well i feel robbed. Saw him at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne, he'd blown out his voice the night before & he sounded awful. Should have cancelled and refunded us all. I loved AWATS when when i first heard it at 18 in the late 70's, finally get to see him and wow what a disappointment. Todd, you owe me.
@ Yeah, I did a little googling and it seems he no longer owns "The Fool," but he does have a replica of it, which he said does not sound the same as the original. I guess the original is more of like a museum showpiece now.

May the lord thank him ;-)

I saw this one in Amsterdam.
the spacesuit was amazing when I saw this show... my one night in Akron, Ohio...
This is the best live performance I've seen of International Feel. Todd and his whole band were really on it, almost hard to believe it's live.
Glad you like it
Fantastic
Fabulouso
TBH much of the backing tracks are recordings from the original album. You cannot duplicate that live.
Really a highlight of a great career. One of the few times in RnR that anyone ever did something they had done 40 years before and made it cooler....
You're right!
I was at that concert and just sat there, blown away - more than the first time I played that album on my turntable in high school, 30 years before. OMG I love this song.
Been waiting such a long time to hear and finally see this live, the DVD is awesome, blown my tears away, thank you Todd, still alive and SO WELL 🤞❤️🗼

This is just excellent! Everything about it! I havnt heard it all yet, but this has always been my favorite todd song.

With with Todd there's always more! I'm sure he's got it set up when he leaves his body! Music will follow!
Hope he stays for a while

Glad you like it

My friends thought I was crazy when I bought this album.
Your friends are crazy not to like this
Todd suited up to deal with all the Covid variants :)
;-)
Nice edit! I've tried a couple of times to join (audio) parts 1 and 2 together but could never make it sound smooth. You did it!
Thanx, glad you like it!
But there's more!
there is always more
GTA 5 brought me here
Well stick around and watch

Here he will make it good for you.
Is that the original "Fool" or a replica?
I guess it's a replica

@@jeffreybussmann3313 I guess so
Replica, I’m pretty sure he retired the original a while back because the finish was fragile.
