The 2000s have been a fabulous time to be a Todd Rundgren fan — and an even better time to catch him in concert.
By the turn of the millennium, Rundgren’s catalog was already as deep as anyone of his generation: an unimpeachable barrage of songs and albums reaching back to the late 1960s while still pushing boldly into uncharted musical territory. What followed over the next two decades was a live legacy as adventurous, unpredictable, and rewarding as his studio output.
Standing alongside Rundgren throughout that journey has been Cleopatra Records, whose February 27 release of Saban Theatre 2016 is the latest entry in a remarkable archival series spotlighting the sheer range of Todd’s 21st-century performances.
Recorded live in Los Angeles and available in physical formats for the very first time, Saban Theatre 2016 captures an intimate yet exhilarating performance drawing from every era of Rundgren’s career — from early solo classics like “I Saw The Light,” “Hello It’s Me,” and “Can We Still Be Friends?” to later, more mature works, all delivered with his trademark precision, wit, and joy.

But Saban Theatre 2016 is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Todd Rundgren’s unforgettable live performances of the 2000s.
From the previous year, An Evening With Todd Rundgren – Live at the Ridgefield delivers beloved hits like “Hello It’s Me” and “Bang On The Drum,” alongside fan favorites that hadn’t been performed live in decades.

Jump ahead to 2018 and Todd Rundgren’s Utopia – Live at Chicago Theatre, which documents the long-awaited Utopia reunion show — an event 32 years in the making.

Traveling back to 2003, Rundgren’s astonishing one-man performance Solo in Clearwater remains one of the most surprise-filled albums of his career — a showcase of fearless musicianship and spontaneous invention.
Then in 2009, Todd undertook one of his most ambitious live statements ever: performing A Wizard, A True Star in its entirety — later reprising both Todd and Healing onstage the following year.

Every album in this expansive live series has been recorded and released with Rundgren’s full cooperation and approval, forming a truly compulsive collection of CDs and vinyl. Hear one, and you’ll almost certainly want the rest.
If you haven’t already begun catching up, now is the time.
And we’ll see you at the Saban Theatre in just a few more weeks.
