Todd Rundgren - Liars Live [Blu-ray]
(Todd Rundgren / Blu-ray / NR / 2024 / Cleopatra Entertainment)

Overview: Todd Rundgren - Liars Live is a stellar 160 minute live concert from the man himself, performing material from his critically-acclaimed 2004 album, Liars, and other classics!

Blu-ray Verdict: This 2 hour+ live concert - released here for the first time on Blu Ray Disc - was shot on June 9th, 2005 in Albany, NY and features songs from Rundgren’s critically-acclaimed Liars album. Equally as important as his songwriting, Todd Rundgren is and always will be a great soloist on the electric guitar. His brilliance as the singer/songwriter is unparalleled to this day. While Todd continues to produce, engineer, write, and perform his exceptional solo concepts, he appears to advance his status as a cultural icon without preaching (ad nauseum) his political opinions as do many pop culture figures.

Indeed, Todd appears to recognize that in order to avoid becoming a parody of his former self, he must reinvent himself. The universal aspect to his writing is the key to his legacy. It should facilitate his image as a historical force in twentieth century music. The ideas that TR emotes in his songs will not drag him down to the Springsteen level of preaching about the trendy issue of the day.

But I digress, for each song captured on this video reminds the listener of Todd’s qualities as a timeless genius. A standout performance included on this DVD, originally recorded on the 1968 double album entitled The Beatles (known as the White album), is the remake of the classic tune, While My Guitar Gently Weeps. New live renditions of Todd classics such as Hello, It’s Me and Just One Victory can also be found.

Another notable selection included in this set Born to Synthesize. Notably, the costuming and set design is an outstanding addition to the visual aspects of this show, thanks to Todd’s drummer Charles L’Empereur Prince. As it is with a majority of Todd’s projects, Kasim Sulton on bass is the standout musician among the supporting cast. In conclusion, this is an incredible live performance from an artist who is as profound conjoined to music today as he has ever been.
