(CR) Cleopatra Records celebrates Record Store Day, April 12, with one of the most anticipated releases in Todd Rundgren's catalog, a 2 LP live album recorded on the maestro's 2008 Arena tour.
Titled from his most recent studio album, the tour caught Rundgren accompanied by his usual A-list band of musical wizards, and a track listing that swung between a host of favorites from solo albums past.
These include a rare airing for the 1972 single "Couldn't I Just Tell You," "Love In Action" (from 1978's Back To The Bars), "Just One Victory" from the seminal A Wizard, A True Star (1973), the monster hit "I Saw The Light" and more.
Alongside these, the album also includes a mammoth recounting of Arena itself. Eleven of the album's 13 tracks are included, in a solid swathe that picks up at the end of side one, and lasts deep into side four.
Pressed on black/white split vinyl and packaged with informative liner notes by Rundgren biographer Paul Myers, The Arena Tour Live is limited to just 1,000 copies worldwide.
