Whats on your turntable tonight?

DJ Premier – Beats That Collected Dust Vol.2

Todd's music had so much detail and so many different percussion touches....it was ahead of it's time. He may have been a Runt back then, but he was indeed a Wizard.. a True Star. 

Yes, he produced Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell...the only project including Jimmy Iovine, The E Street Band, Phila. Orch and Phil Rizzutto!

Saw Todd at Roseland Ballroom in NYC in the 90s. It was a round stage with a variety of percussion instruments attached to the bottom going all the way around. For the encore he passed drumsticks to about 50 audience members and they joined for Bang The Drum All Day, while he tossed condoms to the crowd. What a guy!

Spencer, I fist saw Todd around 1974/5, can’t remember exactly, but the concert was highly connected to his Wizard release, but also Todd. For the time, it was quite the experience blending music and Todd’s own take on theater, and even acrobatics.

Next time was the mid-90’s, IIRC, with Warren Zevon. That was a great show combo. And the last in the large 90’s/early 00’s with Joe Jackson (I have a hard time remembering dates, always have). That was primarily a two man solo show, Todd had basically moved in that direction at the time, and that was also a great show….but….I did miss him with a larger band nonetheless.
