  • Very vivid performance from Todd Rundgren singing this famous song and brassin up his messy axe. Funny intro. Excerpt taken from Live in Columbus, Ohio 1980, yes that old. I don't own the rights I only want to promote the artists. Buy the original.

      I saw Todd five times, and wish I could say I’d seen him 15 or more times, like yourself, but I live in West Texas, by which I mean a cultural wasteland. I bet you l live in Ohio or somewhere on the Eastern Seaboard. Or on the West Coast, maybe 🤔? Nonetheless, please take good care.

      I’ve seen TR nearly 40 times, and this first Utopia concert back in June 1980 in Columbus OH was the most memorable and mind-blowing musical performance I’d ever experienced, still to this day.

    The reformed Utopia is spectacular live! Saw the original in chicago in the late 70s. Saw a Utopia reunion show last nite at Comerica theater in phoenix. Did the whole meet N greet thing. Todd and Kasim were totally nice and personable. Sat in the 3rd row for show. A nearly 70 year old Todd ROCKED like crazy and YES this incarnation of Utopia, with their new professional keyboardist Gil from Israel was perfect. It is very worth the money and effort. I drove from san diego to phoenix just for the show!

    Before the 1980s and Utopia had their own big catalogue, their live shows were a mixture of Utopia and Todd solo tunes. Some of those solo tunes were played to their best advantage with Roger, Kasim and Willie, particularly Love of the Common Man, When The Shit Hits The Fan, It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference, Black Maria, Couldn't I Just Tell You and The Last Ride.

    No offence to anybody but.. after hearing Todd sing on this current tour 2022 (lots of video posted on YT) then listening to him here must be crying like me. I understand that everyone ages but.. even rock stars Must know when to RETIRE! - There's no shame in it - but they're damaging their great legacies! C'mon Todd, Phil Collins.. Paul McCartney.. Townshend/Daltrey.. parties over..
