[jflinn210]

Opened his AWATS Akron show with "Road To Utopia" and then this ... GREAT tune to hr live, over and over and over again!

[4evertodd]

Awesome guitar playing on this version!! Awesome voice Kasim!! Oops is one of my favorite albums from Utopia. Todd & Kasim, two of the best musicians ever!!!

[ReneeNme]

Hi ma'...I'm home.

[ziggy577]

Todd is awesome----still !

Always has been.

Another great song from the master

[sprunglikedonkeykong]

desert island disc for sure

[crnel]

Way to go, Kaz ! Sultin has the perfect, soaring rock and roll singing voice - just as strong as it was in 1976. This is one of my favorite Utopia songs. Todd and Kazim do great together.

[russellvi]

Todd has been kickin' it for more than 40 years and only gets better ! "Liars Live" is one of his best recorded live shows on DVD if you dont have it, GET IT !. Saw him at Radio City Music Hall NYC in the 70's during his "Pyramid Era " One of the best live shows ever, pure genius and AWESOME guitar work ! Rock On Todd !

[ziggy577]

This is an excellent Rundgren song.

[ReneeNme]

....and again. Oops Wrong Planet absolutely fucking rawks. Gangrene ???...What kind of a fucking song title is that ??? Hey for all you ladies out there, you have a track on Oops titled " My Angel ". It's so purrrrty.

[ReneeNme]

Fucking fantastic....Yes...here I am again.

[ReneeNme]

I'd tell the story but I've told it so many times on YouTube before. It truly was a privelage though.

[ufosreal35]

WOW! So cool to discover these great videos of Todd! I've seen many a concert but could never get enough. I've been priveledged to have recently met Todd outside a venue and have a picture taken with him. He is one of a kind!

[ReneeNme]

I met Todd outside a backstage door before too. A really humble and appreciative dude. Firm handshake too.

[rockyswealthformula]

todd is playing here in memphis in three weeks and I can't wait . . .

[nsyman74]

this song still kicks ass after decades, righteous tune, Todd and Kaz are quite a pair

[melrosetony]

R U kidding me...... awsome!!!! Todd is killer and Kaz still sings and plays his ass off!!!!

[jflinn210]

Found this on a Web site:

October 15. Sports Arena, Toledo, OH

October 16, Masonic Temple, Detroit, MI

(Setlist: Trapped, Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Abandon City, Love of the Common Man, Back on the Street, Black and White, Crazy Lady Blue, Love in Action, Death of Rock 'n Roll, Communion With the Sun, Sunset Blvd., Last Ride, Gangrene, My Angel, Seven Rays, Heavy Metal Kids, Singring and the Glass Guitar, Utopia Theme, Just One Victory.)

Awesome!!!

[jflinn210]

I heard them do this live in 1977 in Toledo, Oh, when 'Oops' first came out. They took the stage in front of a curtain, in black jeans and white T-shirts and opened with this song. After a break, the curtain dropped, and there was the Ra/Pyramid/Willie motorcycle drum stage set. F***ing Awesome! Will never forget the first of my 15 Todd shows (even interviewed him while a student at Ohio Univ.) This song has the same ferocity I remember from back in '77. Just incredible. Todd. Best. Ever.

[ReneeNme]

I went to see a show on that 77 tour in St. Louis, MO at the FOX Theater. Only concert I've ever been to where ONE band had an intermission. Actually it was like seeing two bands for the price of one. Singring & The Glass Guitar was epic. Smash it, smash it, smash that ice guitar. lawl.

[digitalTRAFFIC]

fab

d

[aeropilot]

Kasim sounds great!

[ithinksasukeiscool]

woo i shook his hand! !!

[Frankygenesis]

TODD vient en Europe !!!!

[funeguy2]

Your all yuppie Trapped.. you let all this shit happen... starting with..electing Regan..you assholes..now they have you in there greedy grip good job voting for bush!!!assholes

[Birddery]

the older Todd gets,the more ass he kicks!!(who's the drummer here?he's very good.)

[amerikanprincess]

This ROX!!! Awesome indeed.

[robbiedeanne]

ooooooooooooooooops!!!!poor brother john.

[default99telecom]

Radical band in the late 70s, DAMN Kas and Todd can still belt it out...fine oops wrong planet lead song.

[ReneeNme]

And now for our next number we would like to do a little diddy we call "Gangrene".

[ReneeNme]

Doh..me bad.Prolly Todds Guitar tech setting up his guitar.Oops(Wrong Planet).lol

[ReneeNme]

Not really a power trio..check out the Wizard of Oz playing guitar behind the curtain on the right.I am a Runt fan before somebody tries to attack my comment(gasp).

[gproicou]

not so much a wizard as a roadie (i think)tuning a guitar...look at 3:03, you can see him place the guitar in its stand, and adjust the cords on the floor (so Kaz won't trip again!)

[ReneeNme]

LOL..Kaz did get hung up..LOL

[PoffyTheCucumber]

Yes, it's a roadie - but Kaz never did trip over cords - he broke his ankle from synchronized jumping like a loony.

What a powerful, powerful, punchy song! Full marks to the drummer (who is it? - can anyone tell?) for keeping a solid groove, rather than rushing.

[ReneeNme]

The drummer is an ex ~ drummer from the band The Tubes PoffyTheCucumber. His name is Trey Sabatelli. If interested you can find the DVD. It is titled just as you see it in the video description. " Todd Rundgren Live In San Francisco ".

[dabills80]

Your full of sh--t. He's tuning guitars for the next set. Get a life. Go see a live performance like 2 dozen time. Todd and Kaz play live. Jerk.

[ReneeNme]

Hey fucknut.I've got a life,been to approx. 36-40 shows,seen Todd with Utopia,I was making a fucking joke.They are called a guitar tech dipshit.Geez YouTube abounds with idiots!!

[ReneeNme]

24 years old?Yep,that sounds about right.Pfft

[revolt63]

These lyrics are somethin else ....

[fredrums52]

Todd got the lyrics for this song after reading a "Howard The Duck" comic

[ib4stangs]

This is probably the best song for both of them to rock out on. Seeing it in a live venue is incredible...Pat R. from Smothern, MD

[wheresthejam]

Magic.Sultan was always one of my fave bass players,thanks for putting this up.

[LittleFeechie61]

Kaz is worthy on this video...

[kahaki]

we, todd's fans, know who rules

[mrusajapan]

Todd and Kasim rock!!! Why was the microphone turned down on Kasim's vocals????

[freedok]

Kasim sounds great and plays like a pro. He certainly deserves more kudos than the usual utility bassist.

[PAFARMBOY11]

fucking awesome every time !

[therealdonm]

Of course this is from the Live in San Fran DVD and was filmed during the Power trio tour and they really focused on Todd's guitar oriented material ! Pick it up to be sure !

[cathyvcerto]

tod is god!!!!!!!!!!!

[neorunt]

Its amazing, you listen to the crap that passes for music on the radio these days and then you listen to real musicians who in the twilight of their careers can still blow the punk pretenders away. Great vid rmiyares, thank you!

[rockinroller7]

neorunt,

And when you look at who's in the R&R Hall Of Fame, and Todd's not, it surely turns my stomach!

The man didn't stop after, "Hello It's Me."

Got to his website and see all the bands he's produced over the years!

He was a victim of the, unlike here, 4-5 minute song, that surely didn't fit in with the "Big Hair," era of the 80's, and some of the alternative bands he produced in the 90's!

[neorunt]

Todd never sold out, didn't care about the fortune and sure doesn't care about the R & R Hall of Fame which is a joke. That's why I love him, he followed his brilliant mind in whatever musical direction it went.

[rockinroller7]

I'm sorry if you felt I stated, or inferred that Todd cared one way or the other about being a member of the H.of F.

I do believe, he is a victim of his(to use your word, "Brilliant," ability to continue to evolve, musically, keeping and adding to those who have been fans since the late 60's.)

The Hall is more concerned with "Longevity," over, "Quality," so we will continue to enjoy, "A wizard, A True Star."

Write his name- Wikipediadotcom, if you haven't for, "Genius."

[DallasHammster]

Of course the constant flow of cash he got from his producer's royalties for Meat Loaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" didn't hurt. :-D But hey, whatever works - Todd is awesome!

[sportscarsmovies]

Exceptionnel ! la perfection...And it's rock

Try also his stratospheric guitar solo on "just one victory"

[rockinroller7]

sportscarsmovies,

I have seen Todd, with "Utopia," and on his own, with different backup's,at least 6 times, and he always gets around to picking up the green Strat.

Absolutely, out of this world!

[AngeLsLuv]

"Foamy"- luv that guitar...

[rockinroller7]

AngeLsLuv,

I can't recall anything Todd has done with any guitar that didn't set my mind reeling from the explosion of his own sound he makes.

[johnnyobreadislea]

thanx for posting kaz and todd still got it

[dracsspago]

Is it me or do Todd and Kasim sound better now than they did 30 years ago?

[rockinroller7]

dracsspago,

You got it!

I saw them several times between 1980 and 2002, and they have gotten so much better.

[marci147]

Love this, go Kasim,

[jax1moi8]

This is an awesome perfomance of this song as a trio. Whoa!!!

[anbreatnach]

The original is epic, but this version raises the bar without all dem sissy synths.

[PAFARMBOY11]

death and the devil sure got it easy today  /souls come so cheap some people give theirs away!

[default99telecom]

Stay for a moment. Stay for awhile..hypnotized by sight and sound..Empty feelings bring a frown...only love can make you smile.  RA and OOPs was on every 8-Track car sterio in my high school!!

[remulak56]

you been licking toads man?

[default99telecom]

If you knew Utopia lyrics, and put away your madonna and michael jackson CDs, you would be less of a remulak56. Its the ending of Sunburst Finish.

[remulak56]

I've been around before you were aware what of music is dee.

[default99telecom]

Then you should at least KNOW the lyrics to the most popular records put out by Todd Rundren?

[remulak56]

OOps, sorry, I guess you weren't licking toads. But anyway, Rundgren's great.

[digitalTRAFFIC]

one of my faourite utopia tracks of all time - fab live too

[janlee64]

kickkkk azzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

[PoffyTheCucumber]

At last Kasim looks his age--not like a little boy anymore. What an awesome entity TODD is.

This review is from 1995--Todd at the House of Blues Los Angeles.

[PAFARMBOY11]

in a world i never made !

[tgmurphy626]

very cool i seen them perform this song when they were on the oops wrong planet tour in cleveland in 77. ty for the video!!!

[kobick]

as you can hear, Kasim is a high quality vocalist, there are reasons he's a highly sought after bass player. Todd has him though, thats the important thing. One of my fav. Utopia songs.

[neorunt]

Nice to see Todd not over performing. He never needed the cheesey hand signs or anything else to justify his music, the early Todd was magic in itself and more.

A king's ransom for a vid of Izzat Love.

[db0956]

What happened to Willie and Roger?

[PoffyTheCucumber]

Yeeeesss! A UTOPIA reunion - now that would be...Utopia.

[kobick]

great, so happy this is posted, because I loaned my DVD of this out, never got it back. And this was one of my very fav. tracks on it. Kasim vocals great! Todd amazing in every way possible!

[MGM12]

That sounded great! Kasim's voice is so well preserved. TR rose to the vocal challenge, too. Sounds pretty much identical to the version on "Oops!"

[rockwello]

great vocals on this utopia song!
