As mentioned earlier, there is never a question about his live performances, they are always amazing. I saw the R.A.D.I.O. Kaos tour and Pros and Cons and was amazing.
The RK tour held one of my top 3 Rock concerts ever as at the time the tour came to town,Los Angeles, the radio station KMET had just switched to smooth jazz and everybody was blown out. A tragic end to a fantastic radio station that was a huge part of our lives. They had DJ's with personalities and they played themed sets. you could have a party and just leave it on The Mighty Met and roll on with the night.
Any how, the DJ on the RK album is Jim Ladd of KMET and he toured with RW that year and that night they had a giant KMET banner behind the stage and a phone booth at the back of the floor and you could call Jim Ladd between songs and lets just say it was very emotional night for a bunch of people, like everybody.
Another thing he did was make the Los Angeles Forum sound good, only seen two other bands do that, Pink Floyd and Rush! I have seen a boatload of shows there.
A gentleman i work with who is a huge fan went to the show in Tacoma and said it was fantastic and aside from the subject matter of the new album, was politic silent. I guess he learns from his mistakes when it effects the pocket book.
To be fare I have listened to the album a few more times and have come to the conclusion its just not for me. I would like to hear the vinyl version as the CD seems very compressed. Some have indicated the black disc is not so.
Its his gig, and he can do what ever he wants and we have the choice to listen, or not.
