now this is a concert! i love watching this. its cool to see all those people in a frenzy over that groove.i feel like i'm being lifted up when i watch this.
I saw him on Palladia last summer and he said he could not read music, I thought what. His music has always been, to me, orchestral like. His compositions are unbelievable. Songs like drunken rooster etc... are works of art. Gives schlubs like me some hope at getting something together with my musical quest.
my sister bought me for xmas a wizard a true star and man it was like the biggest gift i ever received even to this day. at that time it was like the ultimate gift to go with your first stereo!
The tickets are a little steep here in Chicago, but I owe it to myself to catch TR live, since I missed the "Arena" tour, and that album reminded me a lot of AWATS. It was definitely the most commercial album he's made since "Nearly Human," definitely his best.
I love this uptempo version. I wish he played it more often at his concerts now but it must be a little hard to hit those falsetto notes at his age. (He turned 60 a month ago.)
I saw Todd's opening AWATS tour in Akron, and you should have HEARD him absolutely SLAY the high notes in "I Don't Want To Tie You Down" -- sounded like he did in 1973, when he put AWATS together.
Todd was on TOP of his game. He opened with a 9-song Utopia set, INCLUDING "The Ikon," a song I'd NEVER heard him play in my previous 22 times seeing him! A FIRST!!!
Litle does that ignorant asshole who was saying Todd is singing to track , the fact of the mater is more work than you could possibly imagine went into the pod , the NWO tracks(tens of thousands)& getting the thing sst up and transportated.Probably a jelous lonely person. We'll pray for you
Such Fashionistas!?! F.Y.I. Todd has been designing clothes since the '60's. It looks like a cutoff plaid shirt attached to oversized basketball shorts. As for the music. As Todd often does, he is singing to a backing track of the song. True fans know all this already. This is for new Todd fans. Got it? If it bothers you, WTF are you watching it for, and taking the time to comment? Need a life? Get one.
That was the year I got to see them play. Dig those 7r1ppy vibes. "Initiation", "Ra" "Utopia". Positive, loving, hopeful, sexy. Yeah. To live for despite the hurts and hurdles... "A dream goes on forever."
I heard he's bi, or was, or is... That was decades ago. Maybe he's gay now. Maybe he's in a monogamous with a gal. I may be a lifer het but why should I care? I care about the way people think and relate with other people, and creatures. Kindly, or unkindly. That's the value criteria.
sO HIM WEARING THAT DRESS WAS THAT LIKE THE IN THING LIKE BOWIE WEIRDNESS OR WAS HE JUST ACTING SILLY OR WAS HE BI OR STRAIGHT GAY? wHAT THE HELL DOES IT ALL MEAN?
Check out the spinning piano over the crowd by Emerson,Lake ,and Palmer.Type " ELP - spinning piano - cal jam 74 "(without the Quotation marks of course).Todd is to guitar what Keith Emerson is to keyboard.Although Greg Lake can handle the strings also. Check out a radio station video I made from WBCN in Boston Ma.Click on Lordmjh and check the video's I posted.click on ELP From The Beginning.Tell me what you think. The other videos are of Boston band Tribe one of my favorits.Hope you like.
Well, no, probably "Is she wearing trousers?" is a question that would'nt enter anyone's mind with any frequency. However, a woman wearing trousers is far more common than a guy wearing a dress, so a dress-wearing guy is bound to draw comments. By the way, TR can wear whatever the fuck he wants to when he plays. I love this song!
The "Todd Pod" tour!!! I saw it in Houston, way cool, and my friend Karen got to Bang the Drum! I like Todd's voice on this recording, thanks for posting this!
I saw this tour. It was amazing and surreal. Here was Todd Rundgren, this living legend, on this very small round stage in the middle of a bar. And you could just walk right up to him and shake his hand. So I did.
TR....THE BEST THERE EVER WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
