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.
Wild experience. So enjoyable. His voice has not changed a bit!!!!
As far as the concert goes, it was like listening to B side recordings. He did not play his hits until he came out for an encore. Then he ran all his hits together (3). Very disappointed and not worth my time
70s music icon. Great show. Small venue. Small crowd. Low key, a little psychadellic 60s and 70s vibe, some blues, some 70s rock. Cool vibe. Cool show.
Todd's lyrics and music is next level brilliant. If you go to this tour you may not know some or even most of the songs he's doing but please make the effort to listen and take in his genius, you won't be disappointed.
Should have played his old songs! I travelled 31/2 hours to hear the songs that I grew up with and loved listening to on the radio. He should have read the audience, 70 was about the median age. Nobody knew the songs. He did sound good and I enjoyed some of the songs, but overall disappointing
My fourth Todd concert...Ugh, I was so hoping to hear the old songs. I know he wouldn't want to hear that or maybe he doesn't care, but what a disappointment. I would rate this lower, but Todd was there, and he is so great! The crowd was quiet and no one was excited until the old songs medley, which lasted 2 1/2 minutes, or so it seemed. I've been trying to get a message through the air to you! Get on my wavelength and play all the old hits!!!! Please, I'm not on Oxygen and I don't use a walker. I'm a youngerish fan who wants to see....oh nevermind.
No doubt Todd still sings and plays great but to sit through 2 hours of unrecognizable songs before he played a short medley of a few hits was frustrating. He didn’t even play a complete hit song. If I would’ve known that I would not have attended.
We had front row center seats. Sounds great, right? Not so much. The stage was so high that when we were sitting and Todd was at his mic we could only see his head. We could not see the other musicians! We could only see more when Todd was standing closer to the front of the stage or when we stood up.
Todd Rundgren played all new songs. Never heard any of them before. He did a few of his oldies during the encore. Don't think we will be going to any of his future concerts if this is his new set list. VERY DISAPPOINTING!
Band was good. Started on time. Never played any of his hits. Just a "smash up"towards the end.
Only played a medley of his hits and skipped several
WOW. The first 1:40 I knew nothing of the songs he did. I was glad to hear it rocking, floating, moving, solid, thought-provoking, quality at its highest, morally sound. I am still being influenced by the song where he learned kindness from someone who showed him kindness and the endless influence that kindness to others has. I found that it was very positive to women. I found it to be one of the best shows I have seen in a decade. The last 0:20 he did a medley of old hits and 2 older songs that I knew as well so it did satisfy the remeniscing part of the Top 40 old days. I want to go again!
First time at Brady music center and not impressed. Floor seats are padded folding chairs joined together not uncomfortable but CLOSE. Balcony seats are nice but $$$$$. Music was nice but he saved all his hits for the encore and jammed them together in a medley.
Was hoping to hear the music that made Rundgren a star… instead got 2 hours of his new stuff which for the most part was pretty bad imo. He did a quick encore medley of his hits at the end to try and throw us a bone but by that time I was over it and wished I would have saved the money. Only positive was the new venue is really nice.
New to the venue and the performer and band - all was smooth - easy check in and parking - had second row floor seats that turned out to be perfect for the experience-
The Todd Rundgren show was overall a pretty good show. He sounded really great on most songs but we did hear a few that were a bit off key. I know the artist likes to choose their own songs bud Todd chose not to sing any of his greatest hits at least not in its entirety. He gave us an encode of one line from about 4 of his hits which left us wanting more but it was goodnight! Little disappointed.
the performance was amazing - the music, lights, and sound
I should have read the tour info before buying tickets. I wanted to hear the soundtrack of my youth, not Todd’s new music. Not a song I recognized until the encore. Very disappointed.
I drove 4.5 hours round trip to see this concert and he sang songs that nobody knew until his encore when he sang a melody of his popular songs for about 3 minutes. A very disppointing concert. Friends saw him the next night in Cincinnati and said the same thing. Waste of money.
Todd was on his game, rock the guitar. One of most. Comfortable venues I have ever taking in a concert.
