As a musician (drummer) I revel in this music. What a blast this band must have had night after night playing this material. It is so musically and emotionally rich. Yeah, I tend to think that the theatrics and costumery distract from the music somewhat but what the hey........it's Todd Rundgren and that will never change (thank God). Love you Todd and love you fans (fellow fans) of Todd.
Oh my goodness - I cannot believe the moaning comment below - it is not 'wretchedly sad' at all. I saw the London gig of AWATS last week and it was AMAZING - it was just wonderful. I have no words to describe how wonderful it was - the band were brilliant and Todd, well what can you say, what a godd. Beautiful.
This is wretchedly sad - not the music but the spectacle. What the fuck are you thinking, Todd, wearing the same stage gear as you did performing Black Maria over 35 years ago (it was embarassing even then but at least you had the folly of youth as an excuse)? And for the sad pantomime that is the WATS show, some memories are best left sacred and whole.
The Zen Archer never affected me like it just did.. I always and forever have loved it, but when Todd, crippled, and staggering from the stage and the sax cried out, it knocked me out. I choked up and clouded up... the sax was weeping... oh man!!! Sonny Penn Hills, Pgh PA.

Just recovering from seeing this live in London. A great night indeed but I guess the irony may have been lost on the previous commentor!
