この頃のトッド大好きなんですけど

これはちょっとダダ星人みたいですね。。。

でも、私は好きです。

[6364gg2]

I'm sorry that I seem like a total n00b, yougn'n... what did you call someone who asks a stupid question because he's ignorant, when you've lived in the 70's? Anyway. Is todd naked? o.o

[decapitatespammers]

At 0:25 (head) and 0:46 (arms) there are moments where you see Todd shake and you can *feel* Todd *feeling* the beat. Makes my hairs stand up. I am fully cosmically connected to him in those moments. This is not BS crowd performance schtick. Most prominently in those moments, it is the Wizard, the wizardry embodied.

And "beYOND the moon" - OMG.

[newsy8]

Todd I'm now in never never land Thank you so much for being YOU!

[larrypcross]

I love this song so much. The entire AWATS album is a gem that will shine forever!

[bloodskulls]

Acid kicked in,

[MERCURHILLMANIAC]

[bunlandia]

i can't see much here, but was her playing/signing live on top of tape of himself all the way back then?!?!? he was so f-ing cool

[hympa30]

In the buff, in the buff. Fuck - I've had enough.

[sunriseRISE]

kinda like a DAVID bowie wanna be.....

[semiLivedj]

@sunriseRISE shit,Todd has more talent in his penis than bowie will ever have! but dont get me wrong,i like bowie but he took the commercial rout of fame,and Todd took the talent only rout.

[sunriseRISE]

@semiLivedj OHHHHHHHHH your in never never land.....David BOWIE is Agrade...''.TURD runtkin''....IS like like d grade Cover artist.. hes so unoriginal....THE ENGLISH rule 70-76 T rex, bowie, eno, lennon ,wings,rolling stones...sex pistols, the clash,the jam..

[semiLivedj]

@sunriseRISE maybe i base my opinion on,todd is still making records and performing live and producing bands.But in no way is he trying to be bowie,Bowie couldnt keep up with him.

[MERCURHILLMANIAC]

@sunriseRISE lol wtfruon?

[janakayz]

@sunriseRISE Thanks for your opinion. You're welcome to it. Haha. All those others very very good but most what are they doing now. By the way you might not like Todd but he is a brilliant human being and a pretty dang nice guy to boot. at least that's my experience.

[sunriseRISE]

.. HES REALLY NOT THAT GOOD

[alantew]

Get off man - yes he is quirky - but brilliant all the same

[ithastobe]

Can't wait to see this in Akron and Chicago... AWATS baby..!

[jan30001]

Isn't he saying "once you find your way there, you will never, never grow old?"

[jan30001]

Thanks neorunt. I got my tickets and am looking forward to it. I have found my way there.

[jan30001]

I am getting tickets to the Chi show and am very worried that his voice will be bad. When he sings my voice goes so high you would think I was gay.. I hope its ok. Idon't expect him to be the same as 1978 however.

[neorunt]

Don't worry about it jan30001.

It's the message that matters.

I'm 50 now and this song still runs through my mind.

'Once you have found your way there...'

[MsToddisgod]

No, its not 1978 but Todd is sounding great in a much richer way and I love his voice NOW. Have tickets to the Minneapolis show and I know he will be awesome. Seeing him for the first time live !

[VenusGrnys]

What on earth would make think Todd's voice will be bad?

Akron AWATS #1 will be my 10th time seeing Todd since April '07. I have not been disappointed yet. I very much doubt that you will be disappointed in any way.

Enjoy your show...

[CLARKPEST]

Thank you. You are the heir apparent to Mary Martin.

[keed48]

Bebe who? Did they get married?

[jflinn210]

Hard to imagine, Todd put out Something/Anything and A Wizard, A True Star before his 25th birthday.

[oldbroancestor]

OLD BRO & THE ANCESTORS says COME BACK TODD >>>>>> MR. UTOPIA the things you are doing in the year of 2009 are DEAD somewhere in the back of your mind

[lonertinus]

DEAD??? No way, man! Arena is a very good record!!

[JoNeZysHorrors]

Arena is the best album Todd's put out since the late 70's! no way is he "dead"?!!!!!!!!!

[cathoderoy]

NO SHIT!

[iceaxe56]

they say its not a banana how else did he get bebe--no looks

[theBadloves]

A Wizard A True Star! One of the great albums of all time!

[izzatluv]

he will be performing awats for the first time in its entirety in akron ohio

sept 6, 2009

[jflinn210]

And I'll BE THERE!! Got my tickets Tuesday -- row GG, 33 rows from the stage, but hey -- I AM THERE! Gonna make the trip from San Antonio, TX to Akron, to see THEE Wizard, THEE True Star!

Can't wait --- see you there!

[decapitatespammers]

I will also be there from Texas. I don't even know where Akron is but that didn't matter.

Early in these comments neorunt said "luizhbr9 you have no idea" "what this means to me." That equally applies to me. I have carried the impression of that performance with me for decades.

[neorunt]

Thanks decapitatespammers.

I understand.

'You will never never go'

[awatsakron]

Hello from Akron - town feels like it hit the jackpot to get this concert! Great fan base here too - multi night sell outs at Richfield Coliseum and Blossom Music Center during 70's & 80's. This venue (Akron Civic Theatre) recently refurbished and is excellent - not a bad seat anywhere. Bring on 9/6/09!!

[teamcooter123]

Incredible. Even in it's low rez. What an electice talent!

[SpocksBrain425]

Wow, Todd's glitter/glam phase. I remember seeing this on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert. You missed the very beginning of International Feel where Todd came out in a cardboard suit that was torn away by the roadies. At first he appeared naked with that catsuit. My mom about had a cow! The chicks dug that scrawny beanpole!

[stephystills]

cool video---Love Todd

[thommg1954]

i remember this but i thought he had butterfly wings on his eyelids I'd love to see the whole thing with Int feel

[cathoderoy]

He used to wear peacock feathers on his face and dress in an attempt to out-Bowie Bowie (according to Bebe). He even got the guy that designed Bowie's duds to adorn him in similarly shocking creations. I love that period in Todd's career...it was like the ultimate audio/visual experience until Gabriel and Genesis eventually outdid everybody, but not with mere sensationalism...

[whillop]

He was a skinny little fucker then !!!!

[HorsePussy]

I might be mistaken, but I believe he's "banana smuggling". Sorta like Spinal Tap.

[buppie2000]

I believe this was ABC IN CONCERT. I have a reel to reel tape I made of this from the tv when I was kid. kinda fun to actually see the video again,, 30 some years later!

[KissingWendy]

Actually this is from Don Kirshner's Rock Concert.

He did do ABC in Concert tho but different songs.

[therealdonm]

Yes Todd had his teeth worked on in the late 70's. This does not compare to the amount of work Kasin had done tho....like night and day. Good to see other obsessesed Todd / Utopia fans paying attention to the important stuff !

[luizhbr9]

IMO, his best stuff was made back in the 70's. especially, "AWATS", "Initiation", and w/ Utopia: "Todd Rundgren's Utopia" and "RA", that progressive rock, experimental and stuff... unfortunately he moved into a more popular sound.. but that's ok !

[123guest321]

Todd Rundgren, David Bowie, and Peter Gabriel thought they were the same person . . . LOL Thanx, luizhbr9, this is fantastic!

[rockwello]

todd is godd!

[netinsanity]

freakin amazing. saw this new a couple of times. always great even now. he did not climb to the top of the pa w/a sparkler in this vid but so what, what more can is say? beauty for sure.

[netinsanity]

[whillop]

I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat .........

[andy42x]

when did Todd get his teeth fixed? it looks like in the early-mid 70s, they were awful, then sometime in the late 70s or 80's, they were improved. as a big todd fan, i need to know this sort of useless trivia! :)

[mojorisen74]

His Mom sad he got them fixed in the late 70's. It was gradual so no one would notice...

[lordmjh]

I saw Todd at Boston ,Ma when station WBCN did a live simulcast . Great show and of course Todd knowing it was live just had to play " JESSY" . The FCC didn't have anything to say then. My conclusion is that TODD IS GODD.

[bngrace]

I was at the show as well in 1991. What a magnificent show! I still have that show (it's recorded on two audiocassettes) and I got a chance to meet Todd at the end of the show. Also got a great pic taken with him. I concur with your conclusion. Vehemently. If you get a chance, check out my videos on YouTube - put in Brian Grace Saxophone. Thanks.

[lordmjh]

Did you have ca cd of your music to give to Todd ?

[bngrace]

Unfortunately, I did not.

[cathoderoy]

I was at that one, too. I couldn't hear Todd's guitar in the mix, so I put on my earphones and listened to it on BCN with my Walkman. How convenient. At one point I gave Todd a drawing of a Life Magazine cover w/ Todd on it and the phrase "Todd is God", and he said "Oh, physical proof". So that's probably on your tape. Did he have it backstage? Someone told me he was really wrecked and forgot it, so he asked me if I wanted it back, but I said to keep it. I didn't think it was that great really.

[BasinatArgenteuil]

I can't believe I overlooked this video. Thank you for sharing.

I, too, met Todd. Some people may say he is hard to work with but he sure is a sweetheart to his fans....a very very special man.

[neorunt]

luizhbr9 you have no idea what this means to me. It'd take me a lifetime to explain.

Thank you.

[unicronband]

Great find! AWATS is one of my all time favorite albums. I'm going to see Todd tonight. Can't wait. Thanks for the gem.

[jknott]

That was such a great concert in Columbus, the 18th. Unbelievable.

Jennifer

[luizhbr9]

you saw Todd ! how it was?

It's an oportunity that I don't have...

[jknott]

I've never seen anything like it. He is such a star. I felt very privileged to be there. The fans at the concert absolutely love him.

[janellemariejones]

far f***in out! :-)

[roncentric]

Wow - where did you find this gem. Brings back some great memories. Thanks!!!
