Thanks to Nathan Smart (http://www.myspace.com/nathansmart) and his lovely wife Meridith, who gave us free tickets to the show, Mary and I saw Todd Rundgren during his recent visit to these parts - fulfilling a 29-year dream for Mary,who missed seeing Rundgren in 1980.It's doubtful whether Todd rocked as hard in 1980 as he did in this show; playing the entirety of his new, crowd-pleasing album Arena and a good dose of older material, Todd and his finely-tuned band created a barrage, a wall of melodic heavy metallic sound. Throughout the exhibition, the still-thin band leader performed physical sprints and leaps not usually witnessed on a man in his 60s.
Here are some photos from this amazing show: http://trconnection.com/gallery/set=dss20090410/preview=1

Glad to see that there are other fans of Todd still around! My favorite concert was around 1976. Utopia ended their tour in Allentown with an almost 3-1/2 hour show! 5 encores, and the last two they were all sticky from a pie fight at the end of the 3rd!
