Todd Rundgren & Utopia Dr. Pepper Concerts/Central Park Saturday, August 9, 1980

I am a big Todd Rundgren fan and have seen him perform with a number of bands and configurations through the years, to include The Paramount in Huntington performing new music with a DJ, B. B. King’s Blues Club where I ran into bassist Kasim Sulton in front of the venue preshow while the warm up act was on, Westbury Music Fair in an all star band performing the Beatles “White Album”, and a Utopia one off reunion at the Highline Ballroom in Manhattan. I vaguely recall being at the Central Park concert in August, 1980 and I am thinking we may have been pretty far back in the orchestra for this one. It was yet another evening under the stars during the summer of 1980 where we pursued live music wherever it might be; and with tickets at $4.50 and $2.50 or free on the boulders, there was no reason not to head to Central Park to catch a whoever might be playing any particular night.
