Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The studio album that inspired the tour (Acapella) was a very rewarding trip for all Todd fans. Todd's voice has always been one of his biggest assets, and an album based purely around this god given gift was well overdue. This live 2 cd set is a mixture of half Todd on his own, with either a piano or guitar (not too disimilar to the 1982 tour) and reworkings of old songs using an eleven voice choir. The choice of songs aren't too predictable, and there are a few surprises thrown in. The real standout tracks for me are, "It Wouldn't have Made Any Difference" and "Love Is The Answer". It's really great to hear "Real Man" treated in the Acapella style. The only downside is Todd's voice isn't always loud enough, and sometimes sounds a little strained. But, if you love Todd and his amazing voice, you'll love this live outing. There's plenty of Todd just talking to the audience, and even an audience participation number! I'm not a collector, I just want to hear the stuff he's done, but this is a real must have for anyone with even a passing interest in the missing link of modern musical culture. I understand there are plans to release 'Deface The Music' live and 'Oops Wrong Planet' tour cds. Get the Acapella cd first.
