Todd Rocks My VHS Player!
I was going through an old box, and look what I found! Todd Rundgren’s incredible 1990 tour to support his brilliant “Nearly Human” album!
What A Concert!
I was lucky enough to see this at the Wiltern theater in Los Angeles…a collection of Todd’s biggest hits AND new songs – what a collection!
Look at the songs being performed on this tour: new Todd, classic Todd and some great Utopia as well!
The concert kicks off with his classic “Real Man”, from the “Initiation” album…here is a great live version from that tour:
Another classic Todd song from the mid-80’s is part of the tour, “Something To Fall Back On”…here is Todd performing it live during the 1990 tour…
Todd Gets “Mated!”
You can see Todd’s wife Michelle singing backup on this classic Utopia song “Mated” from the tour:
That’s Michelle in the middle, of course…finally, here is one of Todd’s greatest songs from the album – and he is performing it live in Tokyo as part of this tour – “The Want Of A Nail:”
What an incredible show – so many of the songs can be found online, but you can also buy Todd online or from amazon as well – and you can get great merchandise from Todd’s store as well, so make sure to support him!

Another great way to support Todd is to see him live! Todd is still on tour in 2016, entertaining audiences around the world as part of Ringo’s All-Starr band – see some highlights here:
I also posted a story about the entire “Nearly Human” album…
You can see some great music videos and live performances here:
