Todd Rundgren's Utopia - Couldn't I Just Tell You (Midnight Special 2-74)

[RMoribayashi]

That was M. Frog Labat on the synth at 3:00. You can't see his face but I'm fairly sure it's him, and the date suggests that this aired before he left. As usual, MS couldn't record a decent audio mix of a rock band.

they all look like fags

@markd514 You most-likely missed this era of music by about thirty years. Besides, you probably wish you looked like TR, anyway.

Playing the real Clapton Fool Guitar

Nice mess. I opened this video and a whole bunch of cocaine came out from my computer speakers.

Todd and the bassist look entirely stoned. His voice cracks several times; I don't think this is one of his best performances -- but hey, everybody has an off-night when they are go talented, so musically gifted ... and authors of such great music as this song!

Great tune on vinyl, but man the BGVs are suffering a bit in this live version! Shoulda hired some musicians who could sing! Thanks for posting.

[curtisgtrdaddy]

@doggymcnuggets he did on the next record!

[crabshaw]

To bad M/S made him play this song. He was SO past the 'Something/Anything?' faze. S/A? was three records ago at the time this aired.

Some real freaky-looking guys in his band, and Todd looks like a chick with the eye shadow, hair and skinny build. He has the same guitar he used in the 1986 video on David Letterman. Doesn't matter, he's still a wizard, a true star.

Todd is playing Clapton's old Gibson SG from the Cream days,

[DeathNebula]
