It was 1974, got a chance to see one of my all time faves. I was kinda expecting Something/Anything, maybe some Nazz. But they came out and launched into the whole Utopia album. My jaw hit the floor, and it’s been there since. Todd!!
That was f'in incredible. I remember seeing it on tv back then. I got to see them play this live at Pine Knob back in the day. Todd's music is phenomenal! A genius, like Mozart and all the greats! I'm so happy there is this rare vintage live Todd on here!
@@nicholasguinan6452 Hi Nicholas, thanks for the response. I feel sad for you not being in an area to see great live music. I've been thru Texas twice. I guess if your not near a city it is pretty small town desolate for sure at least my drives thru there told me that. I haven't been to Pine Knob for years now so not sure if it's still the same. I live back in Cali now and I think the venues are even better, like The Hollywood Bowl! Stay well!
Very much the same story as many fans here. Fan since 70’s, not able to see footage until much later, playing the records pretty much from the moment I got home from school until I went to bed, copied the Utopia logo on my satchel, drew Todd, met him a few times and had dinner with him and Michele. His music has always been an adventure. In concert and throughout time. Blink twice and you go like ‘B-b-b-but I liked what you did the last time. What are you doing now?!’ Until you start to appreciate and love it. Then the reinvention starts all over again. The ultimate inspiration to keep it fresh and alive in your own life and/or career ❤
I have been a fan of Todd since the 70's. I painted Utopia on my school satchel when I was about 14. I have been fortunate to meet Todd a few times and the last time, there I was in My 50's having My picture taken with My hero in a bar in Amsterdam with Todd's arm around My shoulder thinking back to the 70's and how surreal an experience. Thank you for the music Todd :-)
David McIntyre.. WOW..Todd sings my "heart music"..Ive met him twice. Very nice guy!! Saw,him this past 6/6/19.. The Individualist Tour.. Todd ❤sounded "spot on"..
This always blows me away. I was 13 and this was the first concert I ever went to. The Fox Theater in Atlanta, GA. I will never forget it and thankful for remembering it....it was the 70's. Todd Rundgren is a force of music. One of my all time favorites. Thank you TR!
Utopia's Theme was actually recorded live at the Fox Theater in 1974. That is the version on the first Utopia album. I was at the 1975 show at the Fox in Atlanta. I was 16 years old.
At the Kennedy Center, April 1974 he did the 1st side of Wizard with tape and with the band after intermission. Didn't have to "Wait Another Year", Utopia was there
My favorite TR story was that year at Constitution Hall when, during a lull between numbers, Todd said: "I'd like to try a little experiment..." and a woman's voice rang out, clear as crystal: "You can use me!".
TRs Utopia from 1973 to 1975 is epic stuff to me!! Another Live being my favorite music of all time!! I liked the 4 piece just fine but the 70s prog versions are the best.The couple of times I got to meet Mr Rundgren and Mr Shuckett I was asking questions about that time period and both men were always cool to talk to. I cant get enough of Utopia!!
To see TR live is a performance to 'die'-- I mean-- live for. :-) He, like Prince did, surprises while delighting w/jazz, pop, traditional & prog rock, catchy melodies, & even soft rock when you include Nazz's Hello It's Me.
Astonishing. Brilliant find. Thankyou for posting this. I am off to see TR on Saturday night in LONDON 44 years on from first seeing him at the very same venue Hammersmith Odeon now the Apollo. He and UTOPIA blew off its hinges. If the uploads of last night in Amsterdam are an indication it promises to be another TRiumph.

Saw him yesterday in Amsterdam , awesome you will love it.
I saw Todd during this tour at the Santa Monica civic auditorium in LA Calif. 3 hours no opening act. One of the all time best concerts ive been to to date.
I must have seen him in ‘72. First half of the show was him on piano with tape backing. Second half was band playing everything from AWATS. Was amazing.
I Saw This Lineup in Los Angeles California 74-75. Roger Powell had the Same Green Bodysuit non. The Show was Called In Concert Filmed at The Aquarius Theater in Hollywood. Thank You So Much for Posting this.

This was one year before I listened to Todd. Initiation was first time I listened to Todd (other than his AM radio songs). Todd was in need of some home cookin' from the looks of him then 😁 Some versions of songs from this show are total crap on YT. Thanks for compiling this show.
This is the tour I missed. Caught the one in late 1974 which was all a full band lineup with a complete performance of the debut album by Todd Rundgren's Utopia.
It's 2252 hours from South Dakota and a I'm listening to album 2 of utopias bearsville singles 77 to 82 on vinyl maybe ra and oops wrong planet maybe ra next not sure
I thought he was with Utopia in the early 1980's. What the Hell kind of outfit does he have on? Loved this album. They don't sell it on CD? Bummer!!! Amazon has it new for $900 for a new CD and used for $52. I ordered the used one - I'll probably be sorry, but I would love to get this on CD. I played my vinyl disk to death!!
Wish I could find a better quality of this touring era; i think it had great tracks from both A Wizard, A True Star and Todd; mastercpieces played live during their recent release; really good, .
It kills me to know they probably recorded the entire "IKON" but all we get is this snippet. (I just realized this was broadcast on January 1974 and yet the album didn't come out until about Sept. 74.)
12:23. the moment Moogy Klingman watching at home probably lost his mind because M Frog is shown while he is soloing .. (as it turns out M Frog really did not play any music keys.. he was there 100 percent to make noises and treat todd's guitar)
I looked into getting this released on DVD, but the owners of the video want $250K to start and payment in perpetuity. I'm not sure I could get it done alone, but I'm not giving up.
That beautiful transition from International Feel to Never Never Land may be my fave Todd moment! (And, there are many magical moments...) Poll question: Which album do you prefer, A Wizard/A True Star or Todd? Or_______________? Love Todd and all his fans!
To bad for us younger generations, that the production outfit chose to spend more money on cocaine and women and alcohol, than on the actual production project they were hired to produce.
Do we know what the venue and/or date is? I saw a show from this tour at the Santa Monica Civic Theater, and I know some of the Rock Concert episodes were filmed there. I'm wondering if this was my show?

This was recorded on Februari 2 in Los Angeles, CA, USA
@ - I find record of a broadcast of Todd and Utopia at the Aquarius Theatre in Los Angeles on Feb. 1 1974 on Dick Clark's "ABC in Concert". Then they played on March 3 at the Santa Monica Civic (which is right next to L.A.). This is the show I saw, with Todd solo with the tape recorders and stuff in the first act, then the whole band in the second act. However, I don't remember any cameras, and there seem to be lots of them roving around in this video. I would think I would have noticed them if they had been there. There's a big banner over the stage that says "Don Kirshner's In Concert", and I don't remember that, either. I wonder if maybe they did an earlier show that day just for the TV shoot, and then another regular show that night?
@ As for the dates, this is from the TR Connection.... 1974-03-10 Todd Rundgren's Utopia Don Kirshner's Rock Concert HI QUALITY This is a real treat. One of our Holy Grails. As you all know, surfaced on UA-cam last week by Jos� lui-m�me was a Hi QUALITY version of the 1974-03-10 (Date when it aired) Don Kirshners Rock Concert. Intl_Feel has posted the 'heads up' in the Video Forum. However he enters it as a 1973 performance. Which is probably correct, and aired in March of 1974. (forum.trconnection.com/viewthread.php?tid=10539). Anyway, We have taken the video a step further here by offering to you in HI DEF NTSC DVD Mpeg (720 X 480 29/frames per sec) and we added the ever faithful Joe Franks (Fartherobliv) audio mix to it.

Why do artists when they perform live sometimes sing the lyrics in advance of the beat. are they trying to change the contour of the music I don’t understand it. is it an audio thing? I know that fans really don’t like it even though we love the artists Todd is doing it here ian Anderson and Jethro Tull really started doing it. as two of my favorites I just would like to know
5 років тому+2
It can be a monitor thing or the band is to slow ;-)
Todd does this more than ever now; he's trying to keep it interesting after singing Hello it's Me for the 1000th time. I just saw him last month and pointed out how hard it was for the fans to sing along cause he sings it almost unrecognizably.
the best answer to this question is that some lines are difficult to sing in sync or on beat with the guitar/piano part that they have to play simultaneously. During recording, vocals are overdubbed last after laying all other instrument parts down, so they can sing the line exactly the way it should be. Sometimes a song is never actually performed with a full band until long after the recording is completed, especially with people like Todd who write and record a lot of their material by themselves. Sometimes they just never bothered to learn to sing and play the harder passages at the same time so you get the vocal irregularities you’re talking about
Glad this exists, but why oh why were videographers such clowns when it came to capturing live performance? I could give 2 shits about seeing the crowd in slow mo, lol
Todd was like--or I'll say Prince was like Todd...top-shelf songwriting and instrumental creativity. They cldn't pigeonhole themselves; they were unpredictable, which some ppl don't like.

I remembered staying up last to see this performance in 1974. Every time I heard "I Saw the Light" on the radio I would quote what Todd said at @4:46
First saw him on the WATS tour and about a dozen times since. I wish I could find footage of that tour , I was tripping my brains out!!
You are so lucky. I live in S Jersey. I know he is from outside Philly. Anyway I was 4 when this was going on! I love Utopia. Awesome band
I've gotten my Son to listen to real music, real music lives on through our seeds.

Saw him at Rockefellers in Houston in 1990's. Did not play a main stream song. Very reserved.
Yea me too. Amazing. Shrine Mosque, Springfield, MO.
I saw Todd Rundgren's Utopia live concert in early '76 at the National Arts Center in Ottawa Ontario. Great Show.
Lucky you.
He's alot more than the radio friendly hits (great themselves), and a stronger presence on stage than you'd expect.
The Grand Wizard of Utopia and A Real Man. 🥰😘🙏🏽

Utopia was the bomb
saw the another live show the guy yelling at the beginning of the wheel was right behind me
Kevin Ellman on drums, very underrated. His work on Utopia and Todd was outstanding Peart was a big fan
He has his own style
You know you're right his drummer absolutely top-notch
To think, he went on to become a certified financial planner. He actually manages a pretty big fund if I recall correctly
