"This is an outstanding live recording capturing one of Todd's most inspired outings. The nearly human "album" remains one of Todd's most soulful and high-energy recordings, and those who caught this tour, played out in smaller venues, experienced Todd at the top of his performing abilities, which is to say, second to none. With the backing of one incredible band, Todd the soulman and rock star took charge and electried the room, elevating "rock concert" to a higher level. From the opening measures of "Real Man", the blistering guitar leads in "I can't stop running", to the down on your knees passion of "hawking", you're reminded of the Todd you know and love. If you're a Todd fan, buy this recording, you'll be glad you did!"

"Now this is the cd everyone has always wanted Todd to make and it is awesome!This is Todd's tour deforce.There's not one bad song on this set list.There are no missed cues or out of tune guitars and the sound is crystal perfect!The critics should all line up to praise our boy(real man)wonder for this one.Although Todd doesnt play alot of the guitar on this one he does put his personal signature sound on a few and Lyle Workman does a great job on the rest so Mr. Rundgren can concentrate on his (wonderful) singing! This cd should be required listening for anyone who has ears!I would recommend turning the song "Hawking" full blast.It has sooo much feeling.Anyone who likes music should be able to enjoy this one.A true thumbs up to all involved on this one especially Sanctuary for puttimg it out.Crank this one up and"i'll tell you what I'm dreaming!""

More than "nearly" human

"A superb performance by maestro Todd Rundgren and his 11-piece orchestra! The sound is crystal clear and audience noise is non-existant (very polite Japanese audience!)
If you have the Todd Rundgren - Live in Japan DVD, this is the same show, just the audio portion, so its great for portability (tunes in your car, dude!) or if you do not have a great DVD sound system. If you like the Chicago 91 CD set, you are sure to like this one as well, as there are many Nearly Human songs contained on this that were not performed during the following tour for Second Wind. Only thing missing are the songs edited out to make the original 90 minute video!"
