After a thirty-year-plus hiatus, Todd Rundgren’s Utopia graced the Chicago Theatre stage, with the hopes of promising fans an extraordinary, other-worldly concert experience. The original 70’s-formed band established a stellar reputation for stretching the prog rock\/pop envelope and infusing their mostly original material with verve and state-of-the-art technique. On this occasion the band featured Todd Rundgren, Kasim Sulton, Willie Wilcox and\u00a0Gil Assayas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Born and raised in Philadelphia, Todd Rundgren began playing guitar as a teenager, going on to found and front Nazz, the quintessential 1960’s psychedelic group. In 1969, he left the band to pursue a solo career, recording his debut offering, Runt<\/em>. But it was 1972’s seminal Something\/Anything?<\/em>, on which he played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and acted as his own producer, that catapulted Todd into the superstar limelight, prompting the press to unanimously dub him ‘Rock’s New Wunderkind’. It was followed by such landmark LPs as A Wizard, A True Star\u00a0<\/em>and The Hermit of Mink Hollow<\/em>, as well as such hit singles as \u201cI Saw The Light, \u201cHello It’s Me,\u201d \u201cCan We Still Be Friends,\u201d and \u201cBang The Drum.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Rundgren has performed a diverse range of styles as a solo artist and as a member of the band Utopia. He is known for his sophisticated and often-unorthodox music, flamboyant stage outfits, and his later experiments with interactive entertainment. He also produced innovative music videos, pioneered forms of multimedia, and was an early adopter and promoter of various computer technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


This beautiful deluxe 4 disc digipack includes a Blu-Ray, DVD and 2 CDs.\u00a0Look for the vinyl companion to be released in a gatefold jacket with 2 GREEN LPs on April 19!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
