Became a Todd fan on May 1, 1972 when he performed at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena backed by the Hello People, opening for Joe Cocker. Saw him play an encore with the Tubes in July 1980 at Wolman Ice Rink in Central Park. They played Baba O'reilly. Todd produced two Tubes records around that time, probably their best thanks to the great Todd Rundgren. Utopia was something else.

Easily the most under-rated group in rock history...their album "Ra" was beyond belief. Purely genius...

A lot of people don't realize what a great Prog band these guys were in the day. I like this and RA.

Dressed for a Star Trek episode but playing like gods!

An all-out, seven-minute jam.

@micktheMaag I was at the Akron Civic too. Remember when he stopped in the middle of the one song and said, "If the sound men could get their shit together, I'd like to finish the song for you all!" The sound guys were my friends who spent the week bragging they were doing Todd's show. LOL

DAMN... and what a show that was.. transgretion of such insane energy of early Utopia to this form of Utopia was awesome to witness.. truly loved this line up and still do.. but for Todd and company to share these songs with us those years with these guys was awesome to witness.... and of course i saw this show at THE AKRON CIVIC THEATRE.... in 77 thanks Todd... and at the richfield Coloseum in 78 (cleveland) i think those wre the years...lol
