To make my life easier, I am cutting and pasting something I had written in October of 2008, as it is exactly what I need to say here.
"Todd Rundgren's performance at the Tarrytown Music Hall this past Saturday night added a much needed reinforcement to our relationship. If it wasn't the 100th time I've seen him live since 1975, it was very close and this show rivaled the best of those classic shows from Central Park's Wollman Rink & The Bottom Line after a very uneven 15 year patch of live dates. You could read the full review at The Huffington Post."

I also took some not bad video that night. You could check that out below.

Here is a wonderful recording of that night, 10/11/08, courtesy of Frank. B. My first few visits with "Arena" left me cold. As I say in the HP review, it wasn't necessarily the songs, but the sound of the recording. Hearing the record live in its entirety, changed my mind completely. Hope you enjoy it.

Did you ever think of going on twitter to keep us fans up to date on your activities?

I have a Twitter account. I'm only just slightly less confused then I was by My Space.

Can't you send a Twitter request? Isn't that how it works?
No, silly boy all you have to do is post your url.
Faith Quintavell
Bear with me, Faith. I did post the URL. Is that all you need? Did you get it? Did I Tweet?
I'm getting nothing on my end Sal.
Faith Quintavell
Bravo John. Or is it Tony Maddow? Well done.
