Vogue Theatre, Indianapolis 21st June 1999

Set List

Concert Review by Art Owen:

Hard to decide if the band that Todd Rundgren has got together for this too brief Half Twisted tour is very tight or totally relaxed but whatever they are, they rock.

Coming out in color co-ordinated black vests the first set got the audience swinging from the start. Fix Your Gaze, Hammer in My Heart, The Surf Talks, not only classics but new Todd music too.

Todd had a few problems with his guitars as after taking three minutes to tune one he promptly broke a string in the next track. He switched to another guitar and the broke a string on that one too.

After a half hour break ("Do you people in Indianopolis always have a 10.30 curfew?") we were treated to Jessie's pscycadelic orange, yellow and green outfit while the others (thankfully) wore more subdued clothing (for the girls, Kasim wore a red shirt with black pants).

80 minutes of less rocky numbers followed (plus Expresso) with the whole band remaining seated while Todd shook various fruit shaped shakers.

More tomorrow in Cincinnati ....
