1987-08-08 ‘The Drunk Show’ New George’s San Rafael CA
Todd Rundgren (Solo)
New George’s
San Rafael CA
August 8 1987
Take Note:
This one is fun. Yes, this is known as the infamous 'drunk show'. One of the most popular audience recordings within the Todd rarities trading circulation.
I thank Jon Risen for this version; for I believe it’s his digital transfer from the original tapers masters. So it’s ‘soundboardish’ quality. We have the
fan film of this in circulation as well, which is timeless & priceless. But you can see/hear that although Todd was intent on drinking a bunch, it really
didn’t wreck the performance (as much as the 1986 Chicago show). Todd does get an incredibly persistent hiccup problem (especially on ‘The Wheel’ where he
laughs through the tune). The sound is a strong performance. Yes it was alcohol enhanced, but true entertainment. ‘There Goes My Inspiration’ benefits from
his looseness. ‘Mystified’ here, by himself, was ultra rare, as is ‘Bad Little Actress’ (which is sloppy, but inspired .Too many chord changes. Too fast
for the liquor). ‘Mated’ is ragged as well. Yet another great 1987 show that sounds real nice and has a few surprises as well. Loaded with fan favorites.
Many say that he was even ‘cute’ during this performance. ESSENTIAL. This one’s for Mojorisen.~ Warren
