Recorded at the Highline Ballroom on January 29th, 2011.
After 35 years, the members of prog-rock band Utopia assemble to perform in the benefit of musician Moogy Klingman (a member of the band himself.) Originally released in 1974, the self-titled album "Todd Rundgren's Utopia" was performed in it's entirety at the show,.
One the period classics. I still listen to it regularly.

That's sweet. Some of my earliest prog memories were Utopia around 1981. This soon was followed by Yes.

Very progressive album as Todd was experimenting with fusion at the time.

Todd's old band of multiple key board players and just him, a bass player and drummer was the really thing back when progressive rock ruled the day.

What a fucking great piece of music!!!! I like it as much today in 2012 as I did when this LP 1st came out!!!!around 1974. I live in Buffalo NY and actually saw the original Utopia in 1974 at Chestnut Ridge, an outside park, performing this entire LP...AMAZING... I've seen TODD in the 70's-80's-90's-2000's &2010's ////and never a letdown. His performances as of late have been better as they've been done in club-settings...
