I have always believed that Todd Rundgren is an eclectic rock and roll genius. Todd Rundgren & Utopia is yet another Dr. Pepper Concert Series show at Central Park that I have no particular recollection. Todd Rundgren’s double album solo masterpiece Something/Anything?, where he played all of the instruments and produced the majority of the songs himself, was a tour de force and had the huge hit single “ I Saw the Light”. That was in constant rotation on FM radio stations everywhere. With the band Utopia, Rundgren rocked harder than on his solo work which translated well to headlining larger venues such as the outdoor Wollman Rink in Central Park. I have made it a point to see Mr. Rundgren whenever he is out on the road, whether it was at B.B. King’s Blues Club in Times Square, a Utopia reunion concert at the Highline Ballroom, or solo performing brand new material with a DJ at the Paramount in Huntington. He also more recently played the Beatles “White Album” with an all star ensemble at the NYCB Theatre at Westbury where he undoubtedly stole the show. The multitalented Todd Rundgren is a musical legend and is not to be missed when he comes to your town.

It Wouldn’t Have Made Any Difference

Rock on!
