Hope some of you made it to see Todd Rundgren on Monday. It was a
beautiful night and the band rocked. Maybe not as magical as past times
but that may just be nostalgia on my part. Regardless, despite being 60 he
looks fitter than ever. For me the highest point was when they opened with
Love In Action. They did a few more old familiar ones and then performed
the new album in its entirety, which included a lot of strong material
especially toward the end. There were about 50 songs I wanted to hear but
they never got around to. Possibly because Todd cut his finger early on
trying to be Peter Townshend and doing wild windmills. Despite first aid
it was red through the whole set. Opening was Woodstock's own Joey Eppard
who impressed as usual with his guitar virtuosity and candid songs. On a
personal note ... I probably shouldn't have asked about Laura Nyro ... it
made everyone feel awkward. But that's the first time I heard him
acknowledge her influence. Anyway ... we wish him the best and a big
welcome home, albeit all too briefly.
