REVIEW: First review BORGATA ATLANTIC CITY NEW JERSEY 8/2/08 by leebster97

I'm speechless. I'm literally without speech. The concert last night at the Borgata had to be one of the top 5 concerts we've seen, and probably number 1 in terms of proficiency and energy. There were no mistakes made by anyone, especially Todd. We have come to accept that and enjoy that, but this was Todd on a mission. Although the opening songs were very good, I found myself waiting for the new material, and when those songs came, they were spectacular. It wasn't loud, it was a freight train. It grabbed you and threw you across the room. The Music Box holds 850 people, and I guess there were little more then 500 there due to lack of advertising and the tickets didn't go on sale until two weeks before. But the faithful where there anyway. The sound system was excellent. I have to say that none of the live recordings of this show to date do these songs justice. It was just awesome. Todd did not break any strings the entire night but Jesse did toward the
end. The rhythm section of Prairie, Rachel and Matt allowed Todd and Jesse to cruise and jam on their guitars. Todd's voice was pretty good considering. The song "Today" was incredible and I haven't stopped singing "Mountain Top" in my head all night. We were fist pumping to "Strike" like we've known the song for years. I cannot wait for the studio versions of these songs. And the kicker was "Just One Victory" as the last encore where Todd hit every note dead on. The power and force behind this band is something you just have to experience to believe. I know I am not saying anything that the previous reviewers have already stated, but this was an incredible show. It was also great to once again be among Todd fans. Again, I'm speechless. - lee

Review : Todds return to Bearsville

TODD RETURNS TO BEARSVILLE
July 30, 2008 WMS
Todd Rundgren's blistering two-hour set at the Bearsville Theater July 28 marked the first time the former Woodstocker played a full concert at the intimate venue, though he spent years building large portions of his impressive portfolio at his Utopia Sound Studio up the road. And he created Utopia Video Studio, now home to radio station WDST, just yards from the theater. But Monday night's show was not the first time he performed on stage at Bearsville. Few seem to remember, but Todd played a handful of acoustic numbers with Jesse Gress during a benefit in the days before Woodstock 1994 in Saugerties, where Todd played his Todd Pod show under a tent on the grounds. Also performing at that benefit were Marshall Crenshaw and Jules Shear. Todd's show this week in front of a packed house just about tore the walls down. Todd was joined by longtime bandmates guitarist Jesse Gress and drummer Prairie Prince, and newcomers Rachel Haden on bass and Matt Bolton on keyboards and guitar. He played -- from start to finish -- all 13 numbers of his latest CD, Arena, which will be released in September. All the advance buzz on the show and the new music was dead on -- these powerful songs are packed with hooks and delivered with blazing guitar breaks, soon-to-be classic riffs and strong vocals. Todd sprinkled in several of his own classics, but it was Arena rock that has invigorated his fan base. See this show!
