Being the same age as Todd and also from SE Pennsylvania, and a former lead singer of a band, these were three songs that we "blue-eyed" soul group's performed. To his credit, he doesn't tr yto mimic the Impresssions/Smokey/Delfonics and as a result produces an original version.
Hi TR fans. I've got a couple TR covers on my youtube site to share with you all if you get time. There are some other covers, originals, and art there also. Stop on by.
Saw Todd in Auckland a few weeks ago. What a man! Kissed my lovely wife (as he did in 1978 at "The Venue - London"). What a superb guy, and he's stayed in touch with his ego / fame. Just talent personified and a pleasure for us. A wizard!
@mark22isaking You are very lucky to ahve gone to the Venue concerts. I would have loved to but was only 17 and lived in Liverpool. I did see him and Utopia at Knebworth the following summer though. One of my best gigs ever, even if they were only a few millimetres high from where I was!
oooeyyy!! july the 4th just settling down, fireworks booming outside, todd singing inside ...this is so bea-u-tiful and a purrfect way to end the day...love all the pics todds the best...all the years of sharing and caring...thanx todd happy 4th!! keep on singing and playing and being who you are...
OOOEYYY!! i grew up listening to todd, i luv the way he looks!! kinda cute?? WAY COOL LOOKING AND WHAT TALENT!! EVERY THING WRAPPED UP IN ONE GREAT PACKAGE!!!
Last Call 4 Just One Victory to See West Coast AWATS shows. Todd announced he will play songs "never played before live" before! Todd's secret if those songs will be from an upcoming album or his past catalog.

This is the same guy with Peacock fethers on his eyes singing Hello its me on the Burt sugarman " In Concert" series back in the early 70s. Fastastic medley for a rock artist. no mocking, much respect to Todd, Righteous Bros., Boz Skaggs, AWB, Rare Earth, and wild Cherry, etc.
out of the psycheledelic 60's into the 70's this medely along with the 'wizard' and 'todd' albums and music from many other great artists brought much great joy and inspiration. tanks todd. thnx to all the pioneers of love and inner and outer space. hard to top those good old days.
rock on. many blessings. keep the good leave the bad. take a few utube videos for the sweeter memories.
Todd is Godd! This brings back memories! It was from Back to the Bars double album set that my Nana bought me when I was in college. I used to open the album up before final exams cranking the tunes from the window and put tin foil inside and hold the open album cover to my face to lay out in the sun with my roommates. Those were the days!
i grew up outside of Cleveland, and I remember WMMS had this in high rotation one summer... fantastic medley, and wonderful memories to go with it. todd is truly a wizard and true star!
I get to see Todd Rundgren again -- for the first time in 26 years -- in 2,947 hours .... on Sept. 6, in Akron, when he takes the stage and plays "A Wizard A True Star" from beginning to end, from "International Fee"l to "Just One Victory!" Sah-WEEET!
gorgeous stuff! thanks so much for this medley,have been a Todd fan for 35 yrs and never miss his gigs when he comes over. did you see him at the forum?Excellent stuff and still sounding great.
It's not too late! He is still playing live a lot and he sounds better than ever! Go find his schedule and get some tickets. You won't be sorry - I promise! He is normally around to meet fans also..very good about that.
btw Thanks for this!...it's an unusual gorgeous medley and I had never heard it before this.
If you guys keep posting all these fantastic Todd and Utopia vids, I am NEVER going to get to bed tonight!! Thanks for all the memories. I remember listening to this when my brother bought AWATS ... I was simply astonished that "a rocker" could take such songs and make them so melodic, so in synch, so ... so "his," even though they aren't.
This is from his live album "back to the bars" recorded at the Roxy in Hollywood, best live album and one of the best up close shows with Todd I ever saw back in 1978
It's great when a music artist can compliment those before him or her.Todd certainly did with this wonderful live performance.Thrilled You enjoyed It!!!
