- From the CD DVD Box Todd Rundgren Live At the BBC 1972-1982
Buy it here www.amazon.com/At-BBC-1972-19... I don't own the rights I just want to promote my favourite artist. Go buy his stuff.
Every time he performs his songs touch my soul. Since I heard I Saw the Light in 1971 when I was 17, his music has felt
part of me and forever fresh. I'm now 70
Same here!
I remember this tune from way back. The good ones always find a way to find thier way home.
All classics
1982 I was 15 and so glad I grew up with this great music❤
Yes me too, met him in 74
A Dream Lives on Forever just may be the prettiest song about unrequited love ever recorded.
it sure is
I believe he cornered the market of those angst numbers.... especially on "Something/Anything".
He is a complete one off. A wizard, true genius and a true star. His out put of fabulous subtle, tasteful music beautifully played over the decades is wonderful to behold. One of the all time greats of rock music
the greatest!
I could listen to Todd sing and play in any format and never get tired of hearing his talent. Just a guy and his beautiful songs is enough.
ditto
Me too. It was great!!!!
Criminally overlooked artist
not here
He's the God in Japan. Here's a example. Check the chord progression out.

I couldn't agree more , my jaw drops to the ground every time i listen to his voice and those Incredible songs he writes!!!
first time i heared this guy and im happy now
Those who know, know.
aside from it being an incredibly well written song, Todd's simultaneous singing while playing a 12 string and doing a million chord changes during Love of the Common Man is unbelievable
he's a genius
I've loved Todd's beautiful songs for 50 years now. And he certainly is a genius.
I was just going to say that.
He makes it look so effortless.
On a 12-string no less!
I've seen Todd 4 times, over 40 years, and the last was in December. He's so skilled he does this like most folks talk and even more so as he's gotten older. He's so fluid at his craft, a true master. This solo act is one of my all time faves as it just shows Todd as Todd; quite the amazingly fearless individual.
right
This kind of competent versatility is rare. A unique talent.
he is one of a kind
Seems as yesterday, hearing these songs the first time. Thanks for reminding us how they sounded, so long ago and so far away . . .
Glad you like it
Who else writes this well? Todd at the top of his game.
Todd is Godd
Exactly….TR has very few compositional peers, IMO.
Brian Wilson and the Almighty Beatles for a start!! Tod is a marvel but nobody can top the Beatles for composition. 300 songs in just 8yrs!
@@MICKEYISLOWD it’s not a competition.
@@foxandscout I was answering a question not a who's best bullshit! People don't read before they make comments do they?
Todd with his Keith Emerson haircut... :)
One of the very best live performances of Todd . This and an evening with Utopia are perfect!! I always remember why no other artist could touch my heart like Todd 💔
Todd is Godd
Hi Todd I am listening to your music at 59 years old having 14-year-old twin boys who are my pride and joy. your music and lyrics. tell my life. And are the best Memories. I could ever remember. I shared with my boys your song I love my life as I have shared with many of my friends my age and older it means so much. Thank you IfThere was a. day I could meet you in person. It would make my life complete thank you. Your album the hermit and the mink hollow. With the bag lady song was my favorite living in New Jersey and visiting New York City in my teens. And giving a dollar to a bag lady as part of my allowance My dad gave me. I gave it to her Wow thank you for the music. thank you 👍for your heart ❤️😃
The Wizard a True Star!
It is
Lifelong Todd fan here. It's hard to verbalize how his music affects me. I just know it lights me up and gives me life. Thank you forever for this perfect upload ! ♥♥♥
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, watch carefully, genius at work
Absolutely
This Todd era is when his voice was at its best, hitting those high notes with ease.
Well he has his moments now and then
Hi voice gets better with age, He was and is a musical GENIUS!!
I agree 100%. The higher register has turned into a yell-But it’s still glorious.
@@golds04 The human voice has a shelf life, and you find no exception in Todd. But he is adapting remarkably.
@@mandolindleyroadshow706 well done. But there is no half life on artistry. As displayed w this man.
When it comes to being a composer, musician, singer, songwriter Todd Rundgren is the Master at all of them. Talent like this comes once in a lifetime!
Right
An early error free solo concert with Todd's voice in fine form, hitting his high notes. Kudos all around!
Indeed
SO proud of our Philly boy! Have followed Todd since his Woody's Truckstop & Nazz days.
he's worth it
I was fortunate to be around during the one-man show tours in Todd's career, and more fortunate to have attended so many of those shows.
What can I say that hasn't already been said. A "musician's musician", an original, inimitable treasure.
He's the best!
He is on another level
god level
Todd Rundgren is one of my all time favorites, ever since my first concert in '74 which was TR's Utopia. He is so deep, complex and thoughtful. His musical talents are amazing, he has wonderful gifts.
Todd is Godd
I adore Todd Rundgren a exceptional man & great lyacist
Glad you like it
I totally love this recording and his music. I remember seeing him during Back to the Bars in DC, and it was such a beautiful concert. I remember a guy at the table next to us cried during half of the songs. What an exceptional talent. "Life is change..." ... yeah, we're seeing that.
Glad you like it!
Todd is not lost on my mind. a dream lives on forever.
until you join me within my dream
Todd Rundgren, always Loved your Music.
Thank you 😊👍🏼
My favorite...this is when I fell!
I fell in 74
A Wizard, A True Star! 🌟 Todd is such a musical genius! Love this video! ✌️❤️
Glad you like it
Thanks fir putting these up
I was mesmerized by his voice in this.
Yes voice was young
I honestly feel blessed that i got to see Todd perform a few times. It's truly such a remarkable talent coming from one person.
He's one of the best!
Welcome. You are in the TRibe.
What a lucky audience to get to see this would have been amazing!!
Such a nice set. Like Brian Wilson, the most magical moments come when he is alone at the piano.
This man is true genius and a wizard
he is
Todd's compositions are indescribably beautiful, but that said I will have a go lol! It's an aural experience equivalent to an autumn sunset. I mean those chords, just breathtaking.
Glad you like it
Not sure I've ever seen Todd manage this much piano in a single go. So impressive!
Glad you like it!
Listen to Todd Rundgren and the Liars live at The Egg in Albany - 2004 - and you'll hear how he still hits the high notes "with ease."
Saw him a few years ago in Boston and he still hasn't lost his gift.... :))
It's now 2022
I have watched this every day for a month. One of the musical geniuses of the 20th Century.
This version of “Too Far Gone” eclipses the original, imho.
It's indeed a nice version
Saw him once solo and he was at the top of his game. Sometime in the early 80's in Dallas, small bar and it was awesome. So glad he was finally inducted to the rock hall. Even if he could care less.
he deserves it
never heard Todd play acoustically. great!
welcome to my channel
amazing feeling, melody, composition, depth, humanity. A true musical and poetic genius.
You said that right!
Growing up in Philly rather than LA has its advantages....soul by osmosis.
:-)
What a treasure. Thanks for the upload. Todd is the greatest of all time in my opinion.
absolutely!
I saw the set at the North stage theater in Long Island New York. fantastic!
Lucky you!
A Legacy that Can't be Lost...Put it in your Pocket...
Can never get enough of this solo concert! I do love you Todd ever since Nazz! ❤
4 decades that I love his art and no one will change my minds. Too emotional.
A musical prophet!! Thank you, Todd!! Blessings on you and your loved ones. 😊💕🙏
Todd is Godd
So good on so many levels....
yes he is
His songs are truly his own.
For sure
Best song ever written. Even better of the Studio LP!
if you say so
Back in the early 2000 An older friend told me about this tour. Mr Rundgren got on stage and did his thing, over a pretrecorded backing track. The Todd Rundgren Show, and it worked.
Edit : He also burned me two audio discs of the Nazz. Which I still own and recommend ❤😊
Today most artist work this way
Awesome awesome awesome!!!!
I had to sing along like Utopia
keep on doing that.
When todd talks, you wouldn't ever think that he's a kindred spirit, but he is. His music often reflects that.
We are all just nearly human.
He's a good person.
Todd rundgren you're a true star brother!!!!
my magic man, genius artist, beautiful, got me through puberty with all the feels ;-) I'm old now........looking back and listening to my memories through Todd and many others.....I've seen him and Utopia live so many times I can't even keep count......highlight of my life was when he grabbed me by the hand and brought me up on stage with some others to bang on the drums all day :-) love love love
Same here, highlight was also Bang the Drum in Amsterdam
Out of the ordinary.
Glad you like it!
@ he’s the best musician i ever know. I’m 16 and all i listen to is him and his songs from the 70’s and the 80’s hahaha. His falcett can’t be measured with a lot of other musicians. He truly is out of the ordinary :)
@@viggo4406 Well you can see a lot of Todd on this channel. enjoy it
Healing (Todd Rundgren album February 1981) was like a breath of fresh air and it came out when I was 20 (and 7 years after Todd Todd) And agreed this period was a great one for Todd (the days of Video- MTV and soon streaming mp3s -1991-yes they actually existed already although remote)
it was indeed something different
I can't recall ever seeing this before although my mind ain't what it used to be. What a treat treat! Todd is in excellent voice and watching 'Tiny Demons" performed on "The Fool" SG was too f-ing cool! Thanks for posting this!
Glad you like it, my channel has a lot of special Todd clips you probably never seen.
This was the first Todd tour I saw...Feb. 1982, Carbondale, Il.
Not bad
Song of the Viking, what a treat! Also, Dream goes on Forever. The one, the only, Mr. Todd Rundgren.
Sings beautiful
His music just never gets old. Love me some Todd.
Timeless
Yes. over 40 years of listening to this genius, not only does not get old, it sounds better the more I listen. He finds a way to dig into your soul, affecting the way you listen, how to influence my own music, and bring a tear or two
@@davidnelson7972 45 years here
I lived near Rundgren in the Catskills around the time this show was recorded and really grew to appreciate him as a singer, songwriter, musician and producer. So talented.
He sure is!
True perfection performed my a musical genius! Thanks for posting! I enjoy all of your Todd videos!!!
Thanx, glad you like it.
A musical genius is an understatement! Todd’s lyrics in so many of his songs, to me, are beyond spiritual! I don’t know the words to describe all of the feelings his music has evoked from my soul! I know it has touched my mind in many ways that it has made my life a better, more thoughtful life, and through those feelings I’m sure I’ve reacted better to people and by my actions have touched those people too! But it was Todd’s thoughtful seeds that were planted in my brain. So Todd, you have no idea how far reaching your love has spread. Those people will never know where the kindness came from and Todd has no idea how he has inspired me In So many ways. He has touched so many lives and no one recognizes where all of this love and kindness has come from. Thank you Todd Rundgren! You are an angel to many of us and you are so appreciated!!! Love to everyone doing their part here on this great earth! Todd, you are 100% correct: LOVE IS THE ANSWER!!!
Love my Todd
I can't believe how perfect this is - THANK YOU for loading this. I am in total awe of this man. Seen him many times, but watching this is just......wow......thank you
Glad you like it!
I love the simplicity & warmth of this performance. The lyrics are so easy to hear. Song of the Viking is so clearly inspired by his “Gilbert & Sullivan” childhood!
At Todd’s 70th (Toddstock VA.) Kasim held a class on songwriting, & told some great stories. I recall him saying Todd was one of the best lyricists of “the second half of the 20th century.” He should know. Kas is a special guy in his own right!
Todd is Godd
The famous "Hermit of Mink Hollow"!!!!
Simply "Brilliant"!!!!
@ love it!!!
Kas rules!!
Getting after it on a 12 string! Seems like he reads me like a book sometimes. I met my wife just when POV came out. ( 83/84 NYE). After any fight, I'd return home and she would be playing Hermit of Mink Hollow. All disagreement left the room. I need that back in my life.
Hermit is a great album
Saw Todd solo tour in the round maybe 1986-1987,was fantastic. This reminds me of that show!
Thank you for this. I rarely suffer from feelings of nostalgia, but this made me feel nostalgic and made the feeling sweet. Isn't he a wonder?
Glad you like it.
Fantastic,
Glad you enjoyed it
Todd is a brilliant artist and song writer!!!
For me, the best
He plays 6 instruments since beautiful and is gorgeous what a package!!!!!💕
Brilliant talent, love the vocals of Todd so glad I finally got to see him live about 3 years ago. A long time coming.
Glad you like it
Todd at the Pinnacle of his musical prowess, vocal capabilities, and all-around best musical writing. A wizard, a true star....
a poet.
he is
Once again, thank you Clinematic❤
Thank you Cherie ;-)
If you need just one song to convince you of this man's artistry and soul, click to 11:09. Wow.
Love Todd's music!
me too
Todd is great. No doubt about that. And yes, this was the zenith of his abilities.
No one close to him no one!!!!!!
right
I remember this tour in Philadelphia. Todd’s home town
lucky you
Love it
It was at the Chestnut CAbaret I believe. I'll never forget the comment he made about working for Bearsville Records was like having a hot curling iron jammed up your ass !
In & out of the studio, one of the best! Unsung hero as well
yep!
I am a singer-songwriter with autumn hill records heavily inspired. By him. Like I. said before there'll never be another one like Him.They're just won't be
He's unique
A WIZARD A TRUE STAR !!
Great video. Todd’s voice at its peak
one of his peaks
Oh no..... I am in love..... again.........................................
Good for you
Falsetto so awesome… right on pitch…👍
Yep
Saw him I think in ‘84. One of about 6 times. That was memorable. Like someone else said his voice was SO good. Good. These songs. SO many memories. ❤️
And no one ever remarks; what a great piano player he is!
These songs are sublime!
absolutely
makes me cry... saw him this year
Saw him this year too it was great
I am so in love with Todd!!! Ever since “Hello it’s Me”, I got to meet him! What a sweet person!
Excellent!!!!♥️⭐️
After too numerous concerts to keep track of since I borrowed an older friend’s ID to sneak into the Back to the Bars tour, I find this solo mini concert very compelling. I’ve enjoyed it several times.
Glad you like it, there is a lot of back to bars on my channel
Thank God for Todd!
These videos are Truly T. Riffic thanks dear Utopian friend for sharing these videos with us all. My best Birthday present was seeing Todd six years ago on my 50 Birthday at the golden nugget in Atlantic City my family thought my new found love of Todd Rundgren was a midlife crisis 😜⭐️🎶 but Todd is TRUEly a Wizard and ⭐️
Glad youre a fan
I saw him on this tour at a place called the Venue in Victoria, London. He was excellent and apart from Time Heals where he used video technology, it was just him on guitar and piano.
HERO!
I just stumbled onto this concert video tonight while working at my office. Made me smile hearing Todd from back in the day. Thanks for posting 😀
Glad you like it
