Joe Jackson and Todd Rundgren live album from 2005 out next month

In 2005, Joe Jackson and Todd Rundgren united on stage for a series of special live engagements with NY-based string quartet Ethel. 

On June 18, an album recorded during a show at New Jersey’s State Theater will be available digitally and in an 8-panel digipak that includes two audio discs and a DVD via Purple Pyramid. 

The set featured solo performances from both Jackson and Rundgren including “Steppin’ Out,” “Hello, It’s Me,” “Is She Really Goin’ Out With Him,” “Bang The Drum All Day,” “It’s Different For Girls” and more. The musicians also pair up for a version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
