I saw Todd last night in Clearwater, FL and was flabbergasted. He played for over 2 hours and played songs I had never thought I would hear live. His guitar was better then I have heard in a long time and his voice was great, aging gracefully.

Nearly 60 years in music and Todd just keeps going! This is a rare ageless human being, he sounds so fresh, mentally sharp and as enthusiastic as ever, like he hasn’t aged since 1972. His beautiful touching early 70s songs must have been his elixir to a long working life. This man has even been credited for co-inventing an artefact of computing technology in the 1980s. Long may his genius continue along with great happiness 🙏🏽

@@leegmc1985 David Gilmour is fantastic and has been squirrelling away in the business non-stop. Only discovered a few years ago that he personally went about getting Kate Bush into the business due to her songwriting and natural musical talent. In some ways Pink Floyd was like a side gig when you look at the other stuff he was involved in. Same for Peter Gabriel a legend in World Music, decade after decade since Genesis fame.

I think Todd underestimates the impact of "Hello, it's me" on "And Just Like that". I just checked and the song has 37million listens. Surely a song that touched viewers so deeply would coax them to listen to Todd's other works. Glad he's still rockin' and happy making music.

First, Davy Lane's usual gig/band is called, You Am I. If you are unfamiliar fix that immediately!?! FANTASTIC songs and one of THE BEST live bands in current existence AND you don't have to go to a stadium to see them (although they certainly deserve to be in stadiums). Second, the "hope" that the music listening public will move from singles, Lil's, and hip-hop/rap is exactly that, hope...at best. The aforementioned You Am I is woefully unknown and don't count on seeing Lemon Twigs on SNL anytime soon. Meanwhile, Tay-tay will have yet four more mentally and emotionally stunted number one hits. AND full albums!?! Third, I don't know what Todd is on about here but he was most certainly credited as a Producer on Straight Up. Just checked my first pressing vinyl and double disc re-issue from the 90's. Clearly credited on the cover and the labels. 🤔 Lastly, he needs to do this exact format as a show...with anybody willing or on his own channel....but beefed-up to like VH1's old Behind The Music. He could do every second of two hours talking about how the hire came to be, how the sessions went, reflections and anecdotes, etc....for EVERY record of his own AND others AND it would be every bit the success (if not more) as Live at Daryl's. Especially while some of these artists/musicians are still alive 😬 He and Meatloaf kicking that off would have been pure gold. 😔 Front row tix to two shows in May. CAN'T WAIT!!! 🤩😍

I was excited to see Todd again here in Charleston SC. Was gonna get tickets. Its been over 30 years since I've seen him live. But, I just saw an old interview , where he said he doesn't want Trump supporters to attend. Guess I'll go somewhere else.
@TOMinPDX3 ай бұрын
I'm not a Trump supporter but Todd needs to turn down this kind of talk because all it does is increase the divisiveness in the country, it's extremely unhelpful. There's good reasons why people (mostly working class) are drifting away from the Democrats & instead of engaging with those people Todd & others just ridicule & criticise them. Democrats (I used to vote Dem) pretend to love & accept everyone of any race, religion, gender, sexual oreference etc etc but if you dare vote Republican or are a Trump supporter they hate you. The hypocrisy is unreal. I don't vote either party now, I just hate the whole system nowadays tbh but I totally accept whatever someone chooses.

Thanks for a great interview. Todd is god.

Barely any of Todds recent albums use real instruments. He does use a guitar but everything else is done using software on his computer which imo is why his albums just don't sound as good these days. I'd love it if he went back into a recording studio to do an album instead of just using his laptop.
