Hello It's Me "Stage lighting was a bit of an issue though in that John and Jesse were in a dark shadowy corner of the stage and not easily seen." "Todd was in very good spirits which I've heard hasn't been the case in some of the other recent shows. He was having a lot of fun with the crowd, particularly over the song requests they were yelling out. Lighthearted "We're not taking requests" was uttered by Todd throughout the show." "m a fan's perspective, Todd did a good job putting together what amounted to a "best of" set, for fans that may not be familiar with the entire Rundgren catalog but wanted to wax nostalgic and hear all those Rundgren classics that have been interspersed in his sets for years." "I understand that the band has been struggling with their timing at the start of songs. This show was no different but it almost seemed like they were doing it on purpose. Some of the missteps were so blatant that you had a hard time believing that a band that's played together for so long could be so off. It didn't detract from the show though. It was actually kind of fun and added a human element to what was an otherwise tight performance." "Throughout the evening, the band had a series of fake false starts replicating the beginning of the album version of "Hello It's Me" from "Something/Anything." It seemed to be an inside joke meant for the diehards, and true to that a fan yelled "Come on guys, get it together."" "The appreciative but not overly boisterous crowd couldn't get enough at the end. A fan chorus of "Todd, Todd, Todd..." was loud and proud well after the house lights came up." "Todd chided his tour itinerary, questioning why a logical next stop wouldn't be in Cleveland vs. all the way back to Oneonta, NY." "Todd gave us all he had in the two hours so can't imagine anyone leaving there disappointed."
