Some good moments with Love is the Answer and One World, but
overall I found it loud and boring. Sound was off and singing was not
heard very well in first half; got better in the second set. I thought it
was loud and heavy... He's a better singer than guitarist... Bassist's voice
when singing solo was annoying...

TODD RUNDGREN/UTOPIA CHGO CONCERT
Not happy whatsoever. How can
someone that is a pretty big
musical artists such as taught
himself, give a concert and spend
the first 30 minutes of the concert,
not singing at all, only playing the
guitar. Then for the next 45
minutes so, he played songs that
my sister and I have never heard.
Apparently they're from his new
album, I guess, don't know. He also
played an ELO song. Um...really?
How about playing a Utopia song!!!
NOT happy at all! Also, re the
Chicago Theater, the seating
sucked. The seating is barely on an
angle, and we couldn't even see
the stage in front of us, only heads.
Really disappointed overall. Never
again Todd, sorry.

UNLISTENABLE
Apologies fellow Toddies. I’ll undoubtedly be the minority here. Big Todd fan. Seen him well over a dozen times over the years but last night at the Wilbur was the most grueling and impersonal show I’ve seen, period. Kudos for Todd. He’s 75 and bringing it for 2 hours! Doing his thing his way and always experimenting. But there’s a reason I haven’t bought anything new since Second Wind. Last night confirmed it. Painful stuff. Loud. Hard to differentiate one song really from the next sometimes and they go on and on and on. Todd is not interacting with his audience this tour between songs. Great. Unlistenable and impersonal. Almost like he’s saying, “hey I’ve been writing and recording for the past 20 years and I’m gonna make you listen to it.” Well good for you Todd. You are the individual, the wizard, a True Star and it’s always something / anything with you. But this show? Never thought I’d think this at a Todd show but I couldn’t wait for it to end.

DISAPPOINTING
He is a talented artist with an amazing band. So disappointed to have sat through a night of music that I was completely unfamiliar with and looked forward to the three songs I knew. Finally played them during the encore and it was a medley of only a short portion of each song. . Instead of playing each song, he played maybe 20 seconds of each song that I looked so forward to hearing. I feel like I wasted my time and money. Very disappointing to our group of four.

TODD RUNDGREN NEW TOUR IS AWFUL
If you’re a huge fan like I was, until after the Pabst Theatre concert, you’ll be sorely disappointed. You have to wait through two hours of painful songs no one has ever heard before, and then, as if they were bored and in a rush, the band plays an encore medley of all of his hit songs, that took all of 5 minutes,
Not ONE song in the painful two hours was recognizable, nor good. Skip this.

WORST CONCERT I EVER ATTENDED!
The sound in the theater was horrible! I am sure it wasn't the venue as I have attended other concerts there that have had incredible sound. Besides the poor sound he played 2 songs that we recognized from the past. This band reminded me of a garage band that is just getting started. We were so looking forward to seeing him and couldn't be more disappointed. When Todd was really playing his guitar it was never singled out and was barely discernable from the others in the band.

IS IT AGE ?
Saw Todd 4/26/24 in Akron. What a disappointment. First off it was noticeable he had a cold and struggled with his voice. Outside of two obscure Utopia songs the rest of the set list was relative unknown especially his Rap song. What surprised the hell out of me was his disconnect to the audience. There was zero talk until right before the last song of the encode when he introduced the band then after the last song thanking Akron and Cleveland. That was it! The encode was 17 minutes long long where he did a medley of bits of the oldies then one song after that the medley and that was it. I get he is 75 and I have utmost respect but compared to his last performance in Northfield a few years ago this was just a waste of time
