Todd Rundgrens Utopia - Love in action

[Kohntarkosz]

Those aren't the stock pickups on Todd's Rickenbacker. Looks like he took the mini-humbuckers off a Gibson Firebird or Les Paul Deluxe and installed them on this guitar in place of the stock pickups.

You can't stop

Outstanding performance, too bad the video special effects got in the way. Could you put up the raw footage? Todd rules!

Only one other band could have matched Utopia's four-part vocal onslaught.

Neorunt: "Only one other band could have matched Utopia's four-part vocal onslaught."

Amen, Brother!!! Preaching to the choir, preaching to the choir ....

[neorunt]

Yeah jflinn210.

There's no higher human aspiration than music.

It connects the soul.

Amen Brother.

This is an awesome concert! Todd and Utopia were on fire!!!!!! anytime you see them in camaflage watch-it!!

[jflinn210]

Saw this concert in April 1981, in Richfield Coliseum, Cleveland, the second stop on his tour. He was on FIRE.

[PoffyTheCucumber]

I love the way he sings the verses: truly "shouting in tune" - my vocal style completely... only I don't have any other techniques like he does...

Todd bought that Ric especially to record the deface the music LP as well as a Vox superbeatle amp.

Todd was using "the fool" on this tour. He broke a string and the rickenbacker that he used on the previous "Deface the music" tour was his back up. If by "Green Meanie" you are refering to "Foamy", Todd's current axe, this performance pre dates it by about two decades.
