This man's sense of pitch is one of the best in the business. I did stage monitors for him on one Arena show (Las Vegas Rundgren Radio fan show). During sound check, I got his monitor volume right where he thought he wanted it. When the show started, right after the first song, he pointed at his mouth, pointed at the monitor speaker, and then pointed down. Todd is the only artist that has _ever_ asked me to turn a monitor _down_ from where they wanted it in sound check. My theory is all the classical and show tunes he heard at home when he was a kid scalloped the hair cells on his cochlear nerves and gave him "perfect pitch".
I've always thought about how AWESOME it would be to hear him do the entire "Ballad" recording live, in which he'd switch back and forth from guitar to piano.....one can dream, right?!
he is so mesmerizing i have to admit this one was never my fave on ballad but just seeing him do this live has converted me and i cant get it out of my head and rotation on ipod-thanks!
I'm an old fan and I had the entire bootleg video of this show which was about 2 1/2 hours. I thought he was great! I saw him in Cleveland at the Nautica Stage that tour on August 29, but he was about sober then, and it rained. I loved this show. He just rambled on, and the bit with the rubber chicken was a riot. I think he was hammered by the time he got around to playing The Wheel. He couldn't stop laughing :^))
Me too.....I always thought Todd was the total package. A great song writer , musician,and vocalists . Sometimes his lyrics were so deep ,But then he would do other stuff that would be so fun and crazy. You'ld have to be as mad as a hatter .....
Todd could do standup! Love it 😊
Just Todd and his guitar - how very wonderful and pure. I can't get enough.

What a rich life a person must have, to have someone as Todd around.
He's so nice in every perspective.....

A shiver and a sigh...
"Ballad..." , maybe the most underrated Todd album in his "catalog".

Oh, it's unbelievably great!

I was at this show! Some people hated it...I loved it. Awesome! I gave Todd a pick to use for "The Wheel"
He might be half-in-the-bag,but his vocals are on!there's something especially Beatle-esque about this tune.Thanks again,rundgrenfan!

And he is not in the R&R hall of fame???
