Todd Rundgren has adapted to the COVID-19 era, with a brand new ‘Clearly Human’ tour, “featuring 25 performances, each geo-fenced and tailored to a different US city.”
Fans will gain access to their city’s stop on the tour with their zip code, still enjoying the performance from the comfort of their homes.
“People are trying to compensate often by doing one big show and trying to get as much audience as possible,” Rundgren explained via press release. “While that does unify the audience, it doesn’t give the audience that sense of special attention when you come to their town. At the same time, we have to try to figure out ways that as performers, we don’t wind up feeling like we’re doing a residence at a hotel.”

December 5, 2020 at 1:39 pmIf you hit the link – it appears you can select a package of shows to view no matter where in the world you are. It appears the ‘geo’ ticketed shows are one-off purchases.
Concerned
December 4, 2020 at 3:41 pmSo if we don’t live in the USA, within the geo confines of a specific show, we are out of luck? Seems like a real kick in the ass to fans in other countries if that’s how it will work.
If a fan are willing to pay for the ticket, we should be able to see a show regardless of where we reside. Think back to when people used to be able to travel (less than a year ago!) – fans would often travel to shows that were nowhere near their residence to see their favorite artists. Same goes for a show being broadcast like this – there’s no reason to limit the viewing audience for any/all of them (except perhaps to alienate a big chunk of any artist’s fanbase).

December 4, 2020 at 11:33 amWhile I’m not a huge fan of his music, this is one of the better pandemic era pitches I’ve heard! Nice work, Todd! 10 months into this thing, I’ve been extremely unimpressed with the artist response in the musical community. Seems like most have just thrown their hands up. I thought these were the creative artists of our culture?
