Todd Rundgren on Tour

Fans never know what to expect from a Todd Rundgren show, which is a testament to his range as a musician. For example, his "The Individualist, A True Star" tour was named so because of its unique format: Along with a set of hits, Rundgren also performed a side of his seminal 1973 LP A Wizard, a True Star. In cities with multiple shows booked, the musician played a different side of the album each night.

No matter where Rundgren's creative muse takes him on a given tour, what stands out is his voice — an instrument that can handle both growling rock and blue-eyed soul — and his charismatic stage presence. Thanks to this versatility, Rundgren has also toured as part of Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band and, as a solo artist, opened for Hall & Oates and teamed up with Joe Jackson for a co-headlining tour. In 2019, he joined forces with the Monkees' Micky Dolenz, Christopher Cross and Badfinger's Joey Molland for the "It Was Fifty Years Ago Today – A Tribute to the Beatles' White Album" tour.

Todd Rundgren in Concert

Todd Rundgren first broke into the music business in the late '60s with the band Nazz, for whom he wrote "Open Your Eyes" and "Hello It's Me." He then released several solo albums, including 1972's Something/Anything? (which featured a re-recording of "Hello It's Me") and then founded the rock band Utopia, a group that drew on prog, power-pop and new wave. In 1983, Rundgren released one of his best-known songs, "Bang the Drum All Day."

In addition to his own work, Rundgren is also a well-respected studio artist who's produced albums for Hall & Oates, XTC, Psychedelic Furs and Meat Loaf. Rundgren has also continued to release solo albums, including 2017's White Knight, which featured guest spots from Robyn, Joe Walsh and Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor.

    Todd Didn't Run-dgren.

    by Benny on 4/25/24Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    Concert was just OK. Very slow and boring in the beginning and the it finally livened up. Then extremely disappointing finish with a montage of his best hits just slammed out. It didn't sound good or flow well. Just sing your hits all the way through and singe them well. That's why we come to see you in the first place. BLAH!

    Good show/bad lighting

    by c-lou on 4/25/24Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    Enjoyed the show. Like most of my age, wish he played a few of his 70s hits as full songs at the end, but appreciated the medley. I like hearing what an artist from my past is performing now. I think it's rude to go only hoping for those nostalgic hits. BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT was the lighting. Stage left front had NO LIGHTING!! Todd was great with going upstage to the left and right to engage with the whole audience, but when he went upstage left he was in total shadow! I thought the venue would realize this and correct it, but apparently no one was paying attention to that. My seat was higher up with a little bit of obs view due to a stair railing. When he came stage left, that was the best view for me, but then he just got drowned in shadow. Even the screen projections couldn't help that fail.

    Terrible Concert

    by MikeN on 4/24/24Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    Really like Todd Rundgren and all if his hits. With that said, the first 22 songs played I had never heard of. Then in an encore he did 2 hits in medley style. Then 2 more never heard of tunes. Worst concert experience ever in my life and I am not hard to please. Wasted a lot of money and time I'll never get back again.

    We love him

    by Just Plain Stevie on 4/24/24Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    It's great to see Todd on the road again. Most people attending are real fans and know what expect, he is a very independent character! The band is tight as always. Todd put together an interesting setlist, about 2 hr 20 mins. 27 songs from 17 different albums! Wow!

    Extremely Talented! Lacked Concert Ingredients

    by Tone Deaf on 4/24/24Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    Todd Rundgren Certainly doesn't need a review from me ! Extremely Talented musician, writer, producer etc. Etc. My opinion is he could have structured his set list different and he also could embrace the audience some. Just give the crowd a little breather from the music. Maybe just not his style? That's OK!!

    Worst concert in years.

    by Disappointed on 4/24/24Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    Venue seating is terrible. This venue needs to be renovated. Very bad design. Never will see another show here. Todd Rundgren concert was not good. Sang songs never heard before. Didn’t sing ANY of his hits except half a song during last call. Voice is shot.

    played no hits

    by Denise on 4/24/24Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    Very dissatisfied and disappointed with the Todd Rundgren show. Only played 2 two minute medley of some hits. Most of the music he played was unknown. Why not give the fans what they want. I would not recommend buying tickets to this show in other cities. Boo!

    Still Love Todd!

    by OldManConcertGoer on 4/24/24Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    Plenty of easy parking... easy to get around inside... auditorium was good but not great (after all it is a casino primarily, the theater is just a bonus), but the sight lines where I sat were good. Sound quality was VERY good. AS FOR THE SHOW ITSELF: EXCELLENT!! GREAT!! Virtual non-stop music, solid selection of songs, excellent music quality, covered a wide variety of his career. Have not seen Todd for a while and realized how much his music is still in my head. Would definitely see him again, and would definitely return there for other shows.

    Song Selection May Not Be What You Expect

    by Crying In The Front Row on 4/24/24Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    Very disappointed in the concert. I saw Todd two years ago in Ann Arbor with Daryll Hall, and he was great. He played all his hits, and the crowd was really appreciative. But Sunday, April 21 in Detroit, it was a different story. His main set was 1 hour 45 minutes long, and I did not know one song! He came back out for an encore and sang an obligatory and ABBREVIATED medley of Hello its Me/Can We Still Be Friends/I saw the Light. The crowd erupted. He then sang another song from whatever, then finished with a full version of A Dream Lives on for Ever. If this was going to be Obscure Night, I wish someone would have told me, I wouldn’t have bought front row center tickets. If you are a true fan of his less popular stuff, by all means knock yourself out and go. His voice sounded great BTW, and he’ll be 76 in June. Band was tight too. But the song selection will have me wondering if we can, in fact, still be friends.
