Check out this live video of Todd Rundgren & The New Cars performing "Not Tonite" @ a Burbank rehearsal showcase last month.

No backing tracks or sequenced parts, the band performing in-tune back-up vocals without hired-hand chick singers...a interesting lead singer who doesn't skip half the words, ballsy drumming, some cool synth playing & a rocking guitar solo...that's music I'd pay to see.
In fact, I tried to buy tickets to the New Cars / Blondie Gibson Ampitheatre (Universal Studios) upcoming show, the very morning they were released, last week, but they were supposedly sold out (except for the Ticket Brokers with an endless supply marked up 4-5-6 + times the face value).
But I kept going back online...& this morning I scored 4 seats, directly thru Gibson / Ticketmaster, stage center Loge, just behind the sound board to the left, for $79.50 + srvc...$90 a pop. That is a reasonable price, to me, for a Saturday night in LA.
So...after watching the New Cars video above:
1. Are you interested in seeing & hearing more from Todd Rundgren & the New Cars?
2. How much is reasonable to pay for good seats @ a major venue for name acts in 2006?
