Todd Rundgren

Clearly Human virtual tour, Nashville, USA

If it’s Saturday it must be Chicago. Again.

★ My world is something you can’t see, but it’s still very real to me,’ Todd Rundgren sings on the classic Real Man, which opens his show in ‘Nashville’. He’s in the middle of the 25-city Clearly Human virtual tour, for which he and his band remain in residence in a Chicago theatre, and pepper each concert with localised banter and video of the city they’re ‘playing’ in.

It does somehow and eight songs from his 1989 album , Rundgren dances, paces and lets his still-supple voice soar up into the falsetto stratosphere before stair-stepping down with Philly soul grace. Seventy-two looks and sounds good on him.
