Todd Rundgren Electronic Press Kit B-Roll from Nearly Human

[midwestconcertvideo]

The reason I assumed it was B-roll was because it was attached as additional footage on an official Warners VHS tape. And it was identified as such on the tape label.

@toddrundgrenfan This video is not from any tv stations.. this was footage from a friend of Todd's who made this himself for Todd fans, he was there and knows who the people in the video are.. I'm just letting you know to clarify this..

Is that Spooner at 2:04 & 6:30? It is very cool to see Vince!!!

So nice to see the whole band!

[MrTikitube]

I haven't seen this footage in decades and I shot it!! LOL!!! Think that maybe it is past time I gather up this footage and cut some long form thing together.

[bigdamnfan]

@MrTikitube Are you coming to the Todd and Healing concerts in September? I knew I was violating somebodies copyright, but this *was* on a promotional tape. It was a very cool event.

I still have the ad from the back of a SF newspaper for people to come sit in the stands and observe for these sessions...unfortunately I lived in Reno and couldn't make it. I saw this tour in Anaheim and my friend called it Todd and the JV team...lol...great show as always. To paraphrase someone, A Todd tour (or album) is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get...lol...

@michelerundgren I haven't seen this footage in decades and I shot it!! LOL!!! Think that maybe it is past time I gather up this footage and cut some long form thing together. Next up after Toddstock?

[michelerundgren]

Fallings out can heal. I was the production manager on the record so I surprised Todd with The UT Boys. I scheduled 2 percussionists on purpose. Prairie Prince was one.Yes, Jim Blinn was/is a good friend who worked for JPL. Recording & Touring the NH record was one of my favorite years. REALLY COOL!

[toddrundgrenfan]

Thanks for the confirmation Michele! BTW, this tape had a little clip of the stunt Todd used to do during "Singring" every night while touring "Ra". Supposedly, no footage existed of the Ra tour, but at least a little bit does.

[michelerundgren]

I am a pre 80's Todd Virgin so clue me in. What was the stunt? Mahalo TRFan!

[glysistrata]

aaaaaaaaah Luuuuuuuuuuuuuutha aaaaaaaaaa Vince...AAAAAAHH tears and laughter at the same time.........

[GibsonL65]

cool i never knew kas, rodger, and willy played on the album do you what tracks they played on. it looks like they all must of played on the i can't stop running

[toddrundgrenfan]

Is that Willie? I thought Todd and Willie had a huge falling out before this point. I'm not sure who played on what, I just have this video. One interesting person though...the long-haired guy playing trombone is Jim Blinn, one of the most important people in the history of Computer Graphics.

[toddrundgrenfan]

Todd says "Let me just hear Prairie for a second" before the scene with the drummer and Kaz, so I suspect that's Prairie Prince or the Tubes.

[efiles]

from what i recall, prairie was initially scheduled to play drums for the session (I Can't Stop Running) but as a surprise for Todd, Mary Lou Arnold or Michele Gray scheduled Roger, Kasim and Willie to play the session. sort of a mini reunion of utopia. that's probably why there's so many musicians on this song. Prairie had to step aside and play percussion b/c of Willie. personally i would have rather had Prairie on drums. I love Prairie's playing.
