The Night Ranger thirtiy fifth anniversary tour hits The Paramount in Huntington tonight with two opening acts that includes the (not New) Barbarians The Paramount is a great venue and has a full schedule of a variety of acts lined up in the next few months sure to satiate just about any musical taste.

On Tuesday, I saw Todd Rundgren play with Utopia at The Paramount and I have to admit I was kind of shocked at how good the band and the stage show was; the pretty full house was enthusiastic and seemed to be having a great time. The 62 year old bass player-vocalist Kasim Sultan, whose credits include several stints with Meat Loaf, looks aand sounds like he has returned from the 1970’s Austin Powers style and even had the groupies swooning at his every smile and rhrown kiss. The band gave the people their money’s worth and even required a well deserved twenty minute intermission. Highlights included “The Road to Utopia”, “Rock Love”, and “ Love in Action”. It was a really fun night of old school Todd Rundgren progressive rock and roll. The band plays Town Hall in midtown Manhattan tonight.
