UTOPIA RULZ!.Nothing better! Iv'e been a musician for 30 years, played everything from aaron copeland to zz top, and todd is still my fav.thanx for this gem!
GREAT SONG; I still listen to it almost 30 years later... Driving my 911 from the desert to Popeet Flats in Silent Valley, CA with over 400 Watts of pure amplified sound, it just doesn't get better than this. Thank you Utopia.
It was great to see Roger soloing on his "Powell Probe". Edgar Winter may have hung a 47 lb ARP 2600 keyboard around his neck first, and later Yamaha made it easier to play by shrinking down the keys, but Roger gets credit for inventing the first practical keyboard you could wear like a guitar.
@bucky468 I was referring to controllers. The Syntar was a monosynth that looked like a VCS3 Putney with a guitar neck glued on it.
The keyboard Roger is playing for the 2nd half of the video is his own invention, the Powell Probe. It was a REMOTE keyboard in the days before MIDI. It had reliability problems so if you got to see him playing it on stage you were really lucky. There were only a few sold (as "The Probe") Both Yamaha and Korg made wearable MIDI controllers just a few years later.
I agree with PRINCIPLEOFMOMENTS this really is one of the best versions of this song on youtube!!!! I have been searching for this song for quite a while glad you posted it ............ Thanks
@lfwpro That's pretty much cuz WMG won't allow anyone to post the original studio version of the song here. WMG is cracking down on those who misue its music. Shades of Big Brother do exist & it sucks!

Looks like Todd is shoeless. How can he play guitar in his barefeet? Man that's gotta be rough on his "dogs"!
