Cleopatra Records announces first time Todd Rundgren live album exclusive for Record Store Day 2025

Cleopatra Records celebrates Record Store Day on April 12 with one of the most anticipated releases in Todd Rundgren’s catalog: a 2-LP live album recorded during the maestro’s 2008 Arena tour.

Named after his most recent studio album, this tour found Rundgren performing alongside his usual A-list band of musical wizards, with a set list encompassing a host of favorites from his past solo albums.

These include a rare airing of 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 features a mammoth performance of Arena itself. Eleven of the album’s 13 tracks are included, forming a solid block that begins at the end of side one and runs 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.
