Magic Bag Ferndale, MI Todd Rundgren 01/30/08 show review

Mystified. I didn’t take as many photos as I normally do, I was in awe of Jesse’s guitar playing, I never realized he could play so fast and that he can actually sing! Everyone around me was commenting on how smoking hot he was. This show was one of the best Todd shows I have seen in the 40 years of seeing him. The banter of the evening was playful about our hip hop mayor who the city of Detroit is wanting to resign due to recent scandals in the news. The in your face guitar playing made me blush. After one song Todd tried to do a spin and the stage was so small he fell backwards onto an amp saved by Prairie. Kasim also agreed to push Todd back up should he fall his way. Todd was high energy joking more than usual and dancing the night away. Despite the 56mph winds and single digit temperatures this venue was totally packed. I was highly impressed with all of Jesse’s guitar gear. Thanks guys for coming to Mich-Again! P.S. the merch girls couldn’t have been lovelier!
