Michael was that you? It happened at 9:38 in the show did Facist Christ and then Worldwide Epiphany last saw him do that at Roseland in NYC December 4,1993. Been 31 years I last saw him do that but it was worth waiting for! Todd had Prairie Prince on keyboards and Kasim Sulton on bass. Great show folks catch this tour people!

I've always felt that Todd's skills as a vocalist peaked in the early-90s, and maybe skills as a songwriter, as well. That's saying something because he was king of the 70s.

Bam im so excited.. been like 4yrs, longest ive gone without a good dose of Todd, dont vare ehat the lineup or setlists are.. sure id love everyone including hello people.. I played range war for him once after a show at the coach house in san juan saw all10 Roxy' shows back to bars at least 4 venues in cleveland Pittsburgh its a lotta years a lotta places lotta years. Did a some stupid podcast with Wayne (Flaming lips) dude asked him if he was a cult band like todd rundgren. Lmao.. wayne laughed and said do you mean did i go through a door he opened for all of us, yes.. was nice talking to you got up and left. Im rxcited, vant wait
