I heard this recently at Todd Rundgren's concert in MN. Had to listen to it again!! The repertoire of Todd Rundgren is amazing. Thankful he shares it with us.
What other artist has the self-assuredness to fill his tiny little stage with his fans... have them all rock out, and then peacefully depart in bliss for the experience with his singular brand of love permeating each and every one of them. It just doesn't get any better than this.
OMG, is this the drummer Paul Matthews from Lawrence Kansas? If so, i was just thinking of you today. I came across videos of Fang O Love. Loved that band! Cheers! Briana
I saw this show in Atlanta, also. Superbowl weekend Jan 29, 1994. I hadn't followed Todd since the Ra album/tour. Just happened to see a promo for this show in the paper or would have missed it. Needless to say, the show got me back in the fold.
I LOVE this song!!!! I also love this CD. Certainly not understood by everyone, but then, what music has he made that "was" understood by everyone. He has "the courage to take his chances". I continue to bow to the master.
51yrs old & still can't get enough of Todd.......a lifetime of love for the man & his music... Not even seeing Griffin Dunne ( I know him personally, to my DISMAY) acting like the twit he is, can ruin this for me. (He acted in "American Werewolf in London", "After Hours", and "Who's that Girl?" to name a few) Todd outshines EVERYONE!
AMAZING TO SEE THIS!This is in fact the first of the 2 London Forum shows (16th ?) which was not on the "Live in Cyberia " dvd , but actually came out as Live at the Forum on CD. I had a bootleg of it on tape for years beforeand have lots of stills too. If anyone has the Bang the Drum footage from that night (or even a photo), Id LOVE to see it as I was up on stage playing the drums!
excellent tour. I blew his mom a kiss for giving him to us. What a guy. A wizard a true star. Gonna see him do AWATS live in Akron on Sept 6, 2009...wooohooo Thx for posting this.... ox
I had tickets to a show in the 90s. I had to miss it with much regret because a friend, only 22 years old was gravely ill. I am sure it was a wonderful show. My ill friend listened to the cd. Even with his grave illness he loved the No World Order Cd.
I haven't heard much from Todd in years. Thanks for showing me how much fun and in touch he still is. This is great! Makes me want to see him live again.
Saw this concert at The Roseland Ballroom in NYC early 1994, as well as Woodstock '94. I camped with other Toddfans at Surreal Field at the Todd Pod and spent the WHOLE day watching this same show ALL that day! It was amazing hanging with Todd. Good times.
this shows the brilliance of the man. NWO and the TR-i concept made perfect sense live when we were all bopping around the pod like this in the Manchester Academy in 1994, just like this London show a day or so before. Can't think of anyone else who would have the balls pull something like this off. It's time this show was rereleased on DVD!
Saw this show in Phoenix I think in 1994? One of the most memorable concerts I've seen, and I've been to a lot. Zappa in 1985 in Salt Lake City was also a great one!! Two of my top favorite artists! They're music will live on..................!
Todd always was and still is light years ahead ! You can never put a label on him put him in a box ! Rock on Todd ! Thank You for 40 years of awesome music !
LOL, rec'd ARENA for my birhtday, which was right after the release, but actually listened to the release party on Rundgren Radio. I agree it is fantastic. Saw Todd in April and got a pic with him. There's no one better.
Thx for the vid. I was at this show in Philly (yup, Todd's a homey of mine!). His mom was sitting on the regular stage and I just had to blow her a kiss for bestowing us with such a talented wonder. I'm not a rap fan, but he pulled this off brilliantly! Thx again.....
Wow, caught this show in Atlanta, this brought back memories of a great show. LOL, still keep a picture I took of Todd on the Pod on my wall. I really appeciate this video.
If this was the Forum Kentish Town London then I was there! We were upstairs and I'm sure we saw him throwing tea bags into the audience? It was a fantastic gig and that is definitely Lost Horizon in the background . Long live Todd!!
I saw the Fairfax High School show in L.A. It was postponed a month because of the big earthquake... Todd's equipment broke down and he ended the show taking requests with his acoustic guitar... Truly "interactive" - the old-fashioned way! Doesn't he usually segue into Lost Horizon from this song?
saw this show in Memphis, TN. True to Todd - it ROCKED! And look at his hot wife - still dancing her ass off. Love it! Rock on, M! You're an inspiration to many of us women!
Listen to All Todd's stuff, he is a very spiritual Soul. He's talking about WE THE PEOPLE of the Planet creating our own New Spiritual World Order, and not the bushies version.
This was the first night, hence the lack of Direction. The DVD "Live in Cyberia" is of the next evening, and far better quality. Although I'd give an arm for the footage of "Bang the Drum all day" with me on it. This evening's performance was released in the 90s at "LLive at the Forum". Best evening of my entire life, but you had to be there... a man being totally indulged by a roomfull of friends.
4evernate28 and Michele is also quite pleasant in both personality and persona. Next time you're on Kaua'i, visit her excellent restaurant, Tiki Iniki, in Princeville. She was there when we came in after a long, hard day of travel, and cheerily posed for a photo with us.
Is there any videos of "The Ikon", "Hiroshima", "Freak Parade", "Magic Dragon Theatre", "Another Life", "Eastern Intrigue" , or anything of his progressive stuff !?? IMO it's the best thing that Todd ever did ! Thanks!
I just love this guys voice! ...not to mention the message! Lead on, Todd! ...Lead on! ...and tho I love this vid, where's the band?! ...did he do this solo with dancers only?
i love this clip. pls post performance date. looks like the crowd enjoyed it. wish i had been there. did he ever do this anyplace else, or was it a one-off?
I may not agree with everything Todd says, like this line in this song, "Do you want more sex,", but I love the guy, he makes a lot of sense in most of his songs. Not to mention he is an incredible musician.
Saw this show in Barcelona many year ago. Pure fun!
“Todd in the Pod” tour.
What memories !
I was there seems like yesterday
I heard this recently at Todd Rundgren's concert in MN. Had to listen to it again!! The repertoire of Todd Rundgren is amazing. Thankful he shares it with us.
I've never seen a better video in my life. I'm a changed man.
I know what you mean,Chris.
OMG. I'm a changed woman.
I play this every time I need my spirits lifted which is pretty much every day.
What other artist has the self-assuredness to fill his tiny little stage with his fans... have them all rock out, and then peacefully depart in bliss for the experience with his singular brand of love permeating each and every one of them. It just doesn't get any better than this.
i'm there dancing on stage with my black leather jacket. At the next gig I played guitar on Secret Society!! Best day of my life
OMG, is this the drummer Paul Matthews from Lawrence Kansas? If so, i was just thinking of you today. I came across videos of Fang O Love. Loved that band! Cheers! Briana
Oh wait... i am mistaken lol. So fun dancing at this show and also got to play drums on Bang on the Drum😊 Lyris still so pertinent today.💚

I'm not a londoner but I recognise meselfnevertheles. ;) This show was pure JOY! Thank you,Todd!
I just got to see Todd in Knoxville TN. Fourth time for me. He is just such a hero to me. Still incredible after all these years.
Todd can make any kind of music !
Clayton139 - Sure. Doesn't mean it's any good.
true
i saw him live in norwich with my nephew marky zoo in 2008

I saw this show in Portland Oregon at La Luna. I met Todd later that night in the parking lot we passed around a bottle of whiskey. Great times
I was there! What a show and Todd's first visit to these shores in many years. (Oct 2004)
Thx for the vid. I was at this show in Philly (yup, Todd's a homey of mine!). His mom was sitting on the regular stage and I just had to blow her a kiss for bestowing us with such a talented wonder. I'm not a rap fan, but he pulled this off brilliantly! Thx again.....
Got onstage for Day Job in Kansas City during this tour. Amazing night for me, l wish I had pics!
That tour was so much fun! I was on the stage ramp all night.
I saw this show in Phoenix in 1993........ what a blast!!! He got everyone involved........
he spitting fire fr fr
God speaks thru Todd. Amen !!!
this is an excellent song, really shows todd ability to adapt and keep on moving. thats what you got to love about rundgen for the last 30 years.
Wow, caught this show in Atlanta, this brought back memories of a great show. LOL, still keep a picture I took of Todd on the Pod on my wall. I really appeciate this video.
This song always makes me want to get up & dance!!!! That little "Todd Shuffle"....You know the one!
A fabulous humanitarian message put to a groove you can't resist!!
One of my favorite Todd Tunes!
The MAN . . .
omg this concert was a blast. i saw the Las Vegas Version of it. so so so much fun.
Todd is the man!
Love Love Love... izzn't it NO world order??? typo. This Song ROCKS!!! Thanks so much ;)
If this was the Forum Kentish Town London then I was there! We were upstairs and I'm sure we saw him throwing tea bags into the audience? It was a fantastic gig and that is definitely Lost Horizon in the background . Long live Todd!!
Great Todd!
The words, the message - powerful.
Great lyric's, kinda gets you movin Too!
This was an awesome gig! Saw it on Beale Street in Memphis, TN! Brilliant!
Todd is just as cool as it gets!! He can do it all what a bad ass jam this is!
I keep coming back to this video, it is great, and I get a lot of complements from my friends on this. I saw this show in Atlanta. What a blast!
While I wouldn't say No World Order was my favorite Todd album, "No World Order" definitely ranks among my all time favorite Todd songs.
This is kick ass! Todd is in a class all by himself.
I saw the Fairfax High School show in L.A. It was postponed a month because of the big earthquake...
Todd's equipment broke down and he ended the show taking requests with his acoustic guitar... Truly "interactive" - the old-fashioned way!
Doesn't he usually segue into Lost Horizon from this song?
I was there and remember him smashing his MacBook he was so mad!?
listening again over & over..so great!
THANKS!
Thanks Fan!! Forgot how fun that show was..
My new favorite song and video!!! WOW!
"Build a heaven on earth, hour by hour"
Todd writes the best humanist anthems!
you can still do it better than them all .TODD ROCKS
This is great! First time hearing it. Love the combo of rap and his lovely vocals.
I wish he would put this whole concert on DVD..I would buy many copies to give to friends..
what an amazing tour. I was at this gig!! great voice. Loved it on every possible level.
I saw this tour at Fairfax High School ❤
I saw this show in Memphis on Beale street.It was not my first time to hear Todd.....that was in Costa Mesa with Utopia.He's the BOMB ! ! ! ....sco'
This is great! First time hearing it. Love the combo of rap and his lovely vocals. Plus, beautiful message.
I was one of the people on stage-wearing the t shirt with a goofy dinosaur-new this would attract Todd's attention
I love this! It was a great tour!
da' number one!!! love this song!!! el número uno!!!!!
reminds me of global wen i saw todd do worldwide epiphany with the girls n dj .awesome
surreal awesome I saw it live too...just wonderful!

I LOVE THIS!! Thank you for posting!!
saw this show in Memphis, TN. True to Todd - it ROCKED!
And look at his hot wife - still dancing her ass off. Love it! Rock on, M! You're an inspiration to many of us women!

todd is still doing great after all these years.
I was there, too! Still love watching this footage over and over. Thanks for posting!
BTW, I'm at 2:29 and 6:34 ;-)
Lani / TikiGirl
Great album
"Rap""-"a la Todd Rundgren" style..Oo La La !" (PLAY IT!; + Rock On, Todd!!)

Dang...Todd's wife can dance!

Todd's fairy princess!
She's hot
I saw this show at The International Ball "Dump" uh.."Room" in Atlanta. Really cool concert in a really run down venue, back in the day.
Great docudrama of Todd Rundgren going rap.
Ah yes, the audience participation part of the evening 👏🏼❤
Magi Dragon Theatre was a good guess, but incorrect. The song of his own being sampled, is Blue Orpheus., off the A Cappella album.
i love this!
Im not suprized to hear Todd rappin, but it is the first rap song ive heard all the way through. cool song
2.32 secs in - left of frame. Me! (Where can you get a copy of the whole concert? live in Cyberia. surely it's time we had an English release!)
Is there any videos of "The Ikon", "Hiroshima", "Freak Parade", "Magic Dragon Theatre", "Another Life", "Eastern Intrigue" , or anything of his progressive stuff !?? IMO it's the best thing that Todd ever did ! Thanks!
Catch Todd at the Hammersmith performing AWATS next February!
TR-i and crew at their peek!
This was released as a Live DVD? I must have this, Todd Is God!
Recorded in 1992, released in Japan in early 1993 and hit the US about 6 months later.
Great Song
Ultimate vision.with a music note. Ah yes..
I just love this guys voice! ...not to mention the message! Lead on, Todd! ...Lead on! ...and tho I love this vid, where's the band?! ...did he do this solo with dancers only?
yes agree
Guys kinds genius
Kinda. yeah.
i love this clip. pls post performance date. looks like the crowd enjoyed it. wish i had been there. did he ever do this anyplace else, or was it a one-off?
Oh yes, he toured with this apparatus and dancers (1994)
Lots of data for the ad but none for the video,
Thanks verizon!
Crap. Wish I could have been there, but I was only three... :)
I may not agree with everything Todd says, like this line in this song, "Do you want more sex,", but I love the guy, he makes a lot of sense in most of his songs. Not to mention he is an incredible musician.
