Todd Rundgren - Black Maria, Live Gramercy Theater, 12/7/10

Todd was playing in Cleveland this past weekend; obviously, I missed it. From the video I’ve seen, he covered Rebecca Black’s “Friday” and sang a song about Mitt Romney to the tune of “You’re So Vain.” So.

While I’m happy to accept Todd in all forms (and this particular show was called “Unpredictable Todd Rundgren” so it sounds like par for the course), I’m also pretty happy too just watching this video on repeat from his show at Gramercy two years ago, my favorite Todd show I’ve seen in my short career as A Todd Fan (and only the third Todd show I’d been to, the night after meeting the man himself).

If it helps imagine my ecstasy over how good this show was, that guitar solo (that guitar solo!!!) was played smack bang in front of me.

THIS is all I need.

(Baseball and Todd! You thought that by sending me off to a secluded house in a foreign country it would be that easy to get rid of me, didn’t you?)
