Todd Rundgren Electronic Press Kit B-Roll from Nearly Human

Update: Adding identification annotations for the musicians I recognize. Interested in IDing the ones I missed.

This is from an "Electronic Press Kit" for the "Nearly Human" album. This is so-called "B Roll" footage, used by TV stations to make features on particular subject. This footage would normally be background for narration.

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!

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.

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

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..

@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.

@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?

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...
