Todd: god?

Todd Rundgren's third appearance at the Tralf in a less than two-year period may have been the best of the bunch. Nearing the end of the tour supporting the recent "Arena" album, Rundgren and his killer band - keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Kasim Sulton, guitarist/vocalist Jesse Gress, drummer Prairie Prince, and bassist/vocalist Rachel Haden - appeared to be hitting a new peak during Wednesday's sold-out show.

All the pieces fit together seamlessly, and the musicians really sunk their teeth into the material, be it the "classic" stuff or the newest of the new songs. As ever, Rundgren himself sang beautifully, whether he was caressing the melody of the anthem-like "Just One Victory," or indulging in the near-industrial metallic clangor of the "Arena" song "Strike." 

Here's the set list and a video. If you were at the Tralf, write in with your thoughts on the show.
