After the successful run of A Wizard a True Star album shows last year, Todd Rundgren is ready to do a follow-up. This time around, he’s revisiting TWO classic albums – Todd (1974) and Healing (1981). That’s right, Rundgren will be performing both albums in their entirety!! And once again, working behind the scenes to bring these shows to the fans are Doug and Mel of Rundgren Radio. As most TR fans know, Rundgren Radio has been instrumental in promoting/sponsoring TR gigs these last few years including AWATS, some “Robert Johnson” gigs and now the Todd/Healing shows. Without RR, this Todd/Healing tour probably wouldn’t have happened especially since no other concert promoter has stepped up to take the tour beyond the 6 initial gigs Rundgren Radio has put together.

If you haven’t done so already, head over to ticketmaster to purchase your tickets to one of these 6 shows. It doesn’t appear likely that Todd will be bringing this show anywhere else so if you love these two albums, this’ll be your only chance to hear the songs live in their entirety.

But if you can’t make the drive, you’re still in luck!! Rundgren will also be providing a pay-per-view webcast of the September 14th show at the Keswick Theatre via todocast. head over to the todocast site for more info.

So, here are the dates/locations for the 6 Todd/Healing album shows in September produced by Rundgren Radio:

Sun 09/05/10 Akron, OH Akron Civic Theatre

Wed 09/15/10 Morristown, NJ The Community Theatre At Mayo Center For The Performing Arts

..and then at the end of September, Rundgren will be headed down under (and then on to Japan) for some “Robert Johnson” shows:

Fri 9/24/10 Auckland, New Zealand The Powerstation
Sun 9/26/10 Wellington, New Zealand San Francisco Bathhouse
Sat 10/02/10 Sydney, Australia The Basement
Sun 10/03/10 Batemans Bay, Australia Mackay Park
Wed 10/06/10 Richmond, Australia Corner Hotel
Fri 10/08/10 Perth, Australia The Esplanade
