A Todd Rundgren-Led ‘Burt Bacharach Songbook’ Tour Delivers Melodic Thrills From One of Popular Music’s Greatest Catalogs: Concert Review
The 'What the World Needs Now: Burt Bacharach Songbook Live' tour has Todd Rundgren, Wendy Moten and other singers reviving Bacharach's melodic thrills.
Drummer Elise Trouw obviously has a following of her own — hence the signature sticks that were for sale alongside the tour T-shirts in the lobby — and did some double-duty herself, singing “My Little Red Book” and “The Look of Love” from behind the kit and eventually “Alfie” in front of it, the latter as a duet with Moten. Sunday’s L.A. show, like the opener in Ventura the night before, had two guest spots: Colin Hay of Men at Work fame got the plum assignment of “I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself” (returning it more to its AC roots after years of the song being most often covered by Jack White). – HolubAnyone Who Had a Heart – RundgrenMaking Love – MotenButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ThemePromises, Promises – MankowskiGod Give Me Strength – RundgrenReach Out for Me – MotenThe Windows of the World – HolubMy Little Red Book – Elise Trouw(There’s) Always Something There to Remind Me – Kasim SultonWhat’s New Pussycat?
