    I first saw Todd at the Birmingham Odeon on New Street in Birmingham UK. I was mesmerised! I saw this on the Old Grey Whistle test about a week later and I was hooked. I remember this had a bum opening that Todd re started but they seem to have cut that bit. I was 15 years old and I'm going to be 63 in December 2022 but I still remember the Odeon gig like yesterday, particularly the fact that he had Luther Vandros on backing vocals.

      I worked at the Odeon onstage and worked this gig. Remember it like yesterday. It was his first appearance and tour in Britain. Todd wore the same clothes as in this video. After the gig, I went into the dressing room and asked for Todd's autograph. Still have it. The next day, I rushed out to HMV on New Street and bought what ever they had of Todd's records. Great gig!

      @@jjphank you're still clinging to binary opposition in attributing to God pure "love." Look into apophatic theology; the only way we can approach God linguistically in an adequate sense is through negation -- i.e. stating what He is Not. If you say God is good, he could always be greater. If you say he is love, this still implies hate, as you constellate its opposite in attributing to him an earthly description. God is ultimately transcendent of our concepts, and the Hindus who you castigate in your comment were better at symbolizing/mythologizing the paradoxical unity of the binary pairs than most christian dogmatists/theologians.

    LYRICS:
    My great grandfather was a satisfied man
    Contented in every way
    Such was the course of his everyday life
    'til he heard of the seven rays.
    Every modern man, in the back of his mind
    Has a problem to face.
    He wants security for the home in his head
    All he needs is the seven rays.
    And when you think about tomorrow
    What goes through your mind?
    Now don't nobody get uptight
    Do you think that we can put up
    With this shit one more night
    All you need is just six more rays
    Take one beam of light
    Prism acquire
    Break the white light down
    Seven rays appear
    One - red, the ruler seeking freedom
    Two - gold, the father seeking unity
    Three - orange, the thinker seeking understanding
    Four - yellow, the poet seeking harmony
    Take the seven rays
    Pure as fire
    Focus anywhere
    White light will appear
    Five - green, the scientist seeking truth
    Six - blue, the disciple seeking goodness
    Seven - indigo, the artist seeking beauty
    This may sound like a bunch of trumped up words
    But we keep no secrets today
    The only hope for you is in your brothers, my friend
    All you need is just six more rays
    All we need is the seven rays

Davey Lane is a big fan of Todd Rundgren and he played 70% of the lead guitar parts. They blew the roof off. Sadly they did not play this. This is from a distinctly different universe.

    Todd had such a unique way with that wammi bar on the Fender Mustang he played in those days. One of several reasons I love this period in his music. I've always refused to believe it was just more "prog rock". Something made him all but give up using a bar after the mid 70s. Maybe he thought it was just too gimmicky, but to me it was an essential and expressive part of the early Utopia, along with the guitar/synth interplay. Runner up fav thing was Rog's body suits. Priceless clip thanks to OGWT.

    I'm assuming this is from 1975 - after the dissolving of the Power Sextet, and before Kasim joined, after the release of Initiation and, most likely, right around the time Another Live was released. My first Rundgren show was with this lineup at the Chicago Auditorium Theatre in November, 1975. Unforgettable.

    One of my fav early Utopia songs. I love the keyboard sound. I would love to hear a remake of Oops Wrong Planet using the synth type sounds from this song. Actually a few Utopia songs post- this vids era. I was never a fan of Roger using Powell Probe for keyboard sounds, but I understand it was a tech thing for him.

    One of Todd and Utopias best live Performances, and I caught a glimpse of Todd’s rig at the end in my opinion his best sound way before Line Six.Starting with the Fender Mustang, at the very end it looks like an EchoPlex tape Delay.

      This is my Favorite time period of Utopia and love Todds tone. the gear is a modified Fender Mustang into a Ems Synthi Hi Fli into a Maestro Echoplex into a Sunn Concert Lead head and some 4x12 cabs.Always wanted to try to recreate his rig here but good luck to me to find a Ems Synthi.
