• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

The Cars and Todd Rundgren

I just had to share this video of two of my heroes, Elliot Easton and his brilliant guitar playing (on a historic SG I think!?) and Todd on vocals. I really wish this lineup would have lasted. I know Elliot sometimes reads these boards, it would be so cool if he could tell us something about this partnership :salude !

Todd is a song writing mastermind IMHO, but it's cool to see him in a frontman setting :)

There's Elliott playing the Tiki SG. :jim

I saw them in NY out at the Westbury Theater a few years back. Todd was really good with the New Cars and Elliott. What a great show they put on. I wish I'd stuck around after the show, because Eliott came out and talked to a couple of other LPF members who were there.

I thought that version of the band was pretty good. I went to a couple of their rehearsals they had open to friends/family. With both Ric & Ben gone I doubt we'll see anything. Elliot has his "Empty Hearts" which sound great (but need a backup/rhythm guitar.. I'm open Elliot if you go that way...).

I agree! Todd is a wizard and a true star! Did you catch the Utopia reunion? Sadly,
missed it, but the DVD is excellent.

Todd Rundgren was a very good choice to take over for the Late Rick Ocasek and really did a great job
