I love that Todd is never afraid to take chances with music and just goes with his own flow to be who he IS not what people expect him to be!!! Too many people just see him as some singer in the 70's with 3 hits singles I saw the Light, Hello its Me and Can we still be friends- how sad- Todd is a genius!!!
i was on the way to NYC on the Greyhound w/ two friends to see King Crimson in The Felt Forum at Madison Square Garden, May 1st, 1974. there was a guy on the bus we engaged, and he asked us if we ever heard Todd's A Wizard A True Star. Nope. he raved over it. the only Todd we knew was pop Todd. we bought it after we got home from what i consider the best concert of my life, and i have seen MANY. (that Crimson broke up just months later. i have seen many versions of them.) we loved Wizard. and we saw Utopia many times. my favorite is RA. i wonder if we hadn't met that guy, if we had become such Rundgren die-hards. and i haven't listened to this in a good while. it is still fantastic!
I was working at Moog Music Inc in Cheektowaga, NY and a co-worker asked me to go along to see Utopia. What a show. Todd played every instrument including Sax and the Pyramid. Since that night I’ve never stopped being a big fan.
I had the pleasure of seeing this tour in 1977 three weeks shy of my 17th birthday. I was and still am crazy for this album. I probably listened to it off and on in rotation in the ‘80’s and beyond but I bet it’s been 25 years since I heard it. To sit back with a low level of stress wearing quality headphones and enjoy start to finish, it’s nostalgic for sure, but also still sounds so fresh.
@AldousHuxleysCat, I can’t recall. I got into the show free because I assumed the duty of an usher in the upper balcony, so I was preoccupied with seating people for awhile after the show started. After a bit, I grabbed a seat and settled into my roll as a fan. It was sooo long ago. I certainly remember Todd climbing that pyramid, but I can’t even recall if there was a frozen glass guitar that night. They had issues with the glass guitar, and it apparently (from what I’ve read since) wasn’t available for every show. Todd was ripping it that night though. Loved his guitar playing/shredding.
I heard this for the first time, on headphones, after eating a large block of hashish, maybe 40 odd years ago. I think my very DNA was altered by that experience. And it still does it's magic.
In 1977 the Todd/Utopia RA Tour stopped at UTA Texas Hall in Arlington TX. Excellent concert with awesome special stage effects that included lasers, holograms, and robotics. RA RA RA
This is an incredible album packed with such stunning songs and performed by amazing musicians that are on top of their game. This for me stands up as one of Rundgren's finest albums especially within the "UTOPIA" catalogue. I remember just relaxing back and listening to this album in my bedroom with the lights switched off and being taken on a journey to another world, great days and still loving this album "RA" - a quality album!
Can't wait until May 16th to see the Reunion tour at Massey Hall in Toronto !!!I wish they would play the RA album in its' entirety......that would be absolutely incredible.....my favorite of Utopia by far !
I remember (just about) seeing Todd Rundgrens Utopia for the first time at knebworth Park in 1976. I made my way down to the front of the stage and stood there with my mouth open for the rest of the gig. AMAZING11111
Saw them in Toledo. Really disappointed when they came out on a small stage, all dressed in black and white. They did six songs from Faithful, then the curtain behind them rose, and there was....the Pyramid. Costume change and an unforgettable performance followed.
Listening to this I am transported back to sitting on a couch in a loft apartment, not at all concerned with the test I should have been studying for, smoking whatever we could get our hands on at the time and enjoying the college life with not a care in the world! Life was good!
Bought this on vinyl along with Oops, Wrong Planet from Tower Records in Reno, NV on February 12, 1982. Of course, I later bought them in CD format. Still my favorites from Todd Rundgren.
So thankful that I got to experience the Utopia/RA concert in Tulsa, OK . Todd was playing to benefit saving the "Old Lady on Brady" built in 1918. It was a convention center that was designed like an old Opera House. Seated 4,200 with 1300 seating in the balcony. Best concert I have ever experienced. Too sad that most of Todd's footage of his RA tour was lost in a fire. Does anyone remember that they had water jets surrounding the drums on stage with a Giant Sphinx Head behind the aluminum Pyramid that Todd climbed. WOW!!!
I didn't care for Todd at first, but when I bought tickets for the RA tour back in '77 at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts from the third row center. I was Bitten for life.
Sunburst Finish is what caught my attention back when I was just a weee young lad with a dream. But then I never did dream I'd wake up and find myself in the freak parade
This album is simply one of the greatest masterpieces ! Stands the test . Great concept, writing ,performing and studio engineering to come out of the late 70s . My go to feel good album ! Get your motor revved up .
This album is going to last more than the pyramids. One of greatest achievement for humanity. RA introduction theme comes from Bernard Hermann soundtrack 1959, Journey to the center of the earth. Same key, same harmonies, different instruments of course.
They should have made an animated movie like Wizards or Heavy Metal out of the Singring and the Glass Guitar. I can see the story in my head everytime I hear it.
Lol you're kidding, I think the same exact thing every time I listen to that song. It just perfectly fits that dark 70s/ 80s hand-drawn cartoon movie vibe.
album strepitoso , una pietra miliare del prog inglese anni 70 .....e cmq notevole tutta la discografia di questo grande musicista-compositore-cantante !!
Totally ... Totally ... Fucking Splendid ! ... A true Sunburst Finish ... Todd is a God whom the Ancient Egyptians would have WORSHIPED ... For the very deep and understanding Empathy.
I was at that show, Lloyd Noble. Rember being miffed for paying concert prices to see a movie! Then the screen went down... Amazing! Remember the front flip off the pyramid?
I was at this show with some friends from OSU. He played a clear pyramid guitar that had a laser at the end of it. Lots of lasers and props in this show.
mr. JP says that utopia is a band on its own planet of coolth and Y is todd not in the top 100 guitarist of world really the man shines n sounds like smash it smash it i digg the older stuff like RA,and he does carry the light pyramid power folks peace out utopiaiens JP fla.
Richard Schroeder Now that's some excellent excellent advice that all y'all can bankroll yer golden bricks on. Seriously, if you start by listening to the first Utopia LP and work yer way through the anthology; in chronological order. OR, just type in UTOPIA DISCOGRAPHY and browse yer everlovin' arse off. I just remembered something that I have had in my LP-Vinyl collection for a very long time and I cant seem to find out where to get a CD analog...I'll be brief...The album I have is a promo-copy(not for sale), and is autographed by the band. This I know is authentic; I've seen Todd's autograph on a baseball so I know it's the reeel McCoy. One last clue...The album was released @1982 and it's simply entitled 'UTOPIA'-this was also the second video played on MTV, right after 'VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR'. Todd was a real move-n-shaker during those early 80's. Now I know that the Album has 'Hammer In My Heart" and " Libertine", and I think it may have "Cause you make me crazy" ...Again with the MTV thing. Anyhoo, I'm just not RUclips literate so I hope I haven't wasted your time. Thanks, and pass on the Rhubarb if you can...'CAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS MORE
HI my friend, that Utopia album is great, they're wearing black suits right? That release was only titled Utopia, it was the opening salvo to introduce the Band, not being a Todd solo type of record. Every song was killer, designed for commercial appeal but it didn't fly all that well. Actually I'm gonna put it on right now, take care all.
Hey thanks for the reply. The info was helpful. Now all I need is an obsolete spinning device set to cycle at 33.3 rpm. I never thought I'd admit this, but I have to give credit to all the rappers and the rap industry for keeping the turntable business alive. Go figure that one for irony.
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness to be felt.” So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was pitch darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the people of Israel had light where they lived. Exodus 10:21-23
Class production. Sounds fresh as a daisy. Hiroshima is the standout track for me... Powerful imagery and top notch muso's at their best. Did they tour this LP (release) ? If so, in the UK? Any info appreciated......
Hiroshma didn't go quite like that. The War in the Pacific was a war of no quarter. The Japanese were not going to surrender. They fought to the last man in the Pacific Island battles, had suicide attacks on USA ships, and vowed to kill as many Americans as they could in the face of losing territory. The Japanese did not respect American that were POWs, and did not adhere to the Geneva Convention rules regarding POWs. There were atrocities, and some retaliation on the USA side. Not to mention, Japanese atrocities committed against Chinese civilians since 1937. So, it was a brutal war. Hearing interviews by USA soldiers at the time, after Japan did surrender, they were happy the war was over. There was relief, not "fry them", "God is on our side" bravado. The occupation of Japan was peaceful, the Emperor was retained, the USA and Japan became allies, and we know the rest of the story. Yeah the bomb is terrible. May no one today, or in the future, had to experience nuclear war.
Audio not up to a masterpiece like RA, even in subsequent versions at 77, in any case great show by the magician Todd and his Utopia, long live ..Must !
Unfortunately this album was mostly written off as a typical prog rock album. Boy, were they stupid. This album has like 3 genres going on: a LITTLE bit of prog, art rock & a hint of pop rock. Every song really stands on their own, has a new theme, and isn't a chore on the ears.
the Scottish accent was done by bearsville's house engineer John Holbrook. he's an Englishman trying to do a Scottish accent then afterward they sped up the tape to give it an elfin quality.
+mojorisen74 Cheers for that info. Sweet Bejasus wouldn't an Irish accent have been better :D I guess you must be an expert or were involved in the recording. I caught Todd live performance of the album at the London Hammersmith Odeon some time around '76. I've been a big Todd fan for many years
Saw the ra tour at the fox theater in st.louis show was postponed due to accident during stage setup drove back next day from spfld,ill saw my first of 9 Todd concerts since 1977
Above all this my is favorite Utopia piece of wax. Heavy on all levels. 1977 was a wonderful year!
Immer noch taufrisch👍
i know it's kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
@Brixton Derek i would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Grayson Maximilian Definitely, have been watching on flixzone for since april myself :)
@Grayson Maximilian Thanks, signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it !!
I love that Todd is never afraid to take chances with music and just goes with his own flow to be who he IS not what people expect him to be!!! Too many people just see him as some singer in the 70's with 3 hits singles I saw the Light, Hello its Me and Can we still be friends- how sad- Todd is a genius!!!
You couldn't have said it any better, but you forgot Love is the Answer one of the greatest songs ever written and performed by him.
You get Todd! It makes me so happy!
Yeah... you get it!
@@holygeneration7 Black Maria!
Hey now, Flynn. Let's not forget, "We gotta get you a woman", that gained hit status too!

Did your show open with a couple of videos - Magic Dragon was one, can't recall the other
@AldousHuxleysCat, I can’t recall. I got into the show free because I assumed the duty of an usher in the upper balcony, so I was preoccupied with seating people for awhile after the show started. After a bit, I grabbed a seat and settled into my roll as a fan. It was sooo long ago.

I been playing this on and off for 36 years.... I never tire of it..EVER!
Definitely!
1977-present❤
this album really knows how to kick off at the start. you are instantly immersed in utopiaworld.
Can't wait until May 16th to see the Reunion tour at Massey Hall in Toronto !!!I wish they would play the RA album in its' entirety......that would be absolutely incredible.....my favorite of Utopia by far !
Very Rare Album!!!! Very RA!!!!!! Todd Rundgreen is One of The Best Musicians,Producers,That I Ever Heard!!!!!! Long Live Master Todd!!!!!! RA!!!!!!!!
A wizard, a true star. I've seen him many times in Philly.
I remember (just about) seeing Todd Rundgrens Utopia for the first time at knebworth Park in 1976. I made my way down to the front of the stage and stood there with my mouth open for the rest of the gig. AMAZING11111
he's the master of the harmonies. love the second song.
I was blessed to watch this album performed live on stage at the Lansing Civic Center in Lansing Michigan in 1977. The pyramid was awesome.
Saw them in Toledo. Really disappointed when they came out on a small stage, all dressed in black and white. They did six songs from Faithful, then the curtain behind them rose, and there was....the Pyramid. Costume change and an unforgettable performance followed.

This is one of those rare albums that is so well choreographed that it's like a dance or a play. It'd make a great musical!
EVERLASTING LOVE - gorgeous song. Kasim Sulton was/is a great vocalist.

Roger was always underrated. All the guys were great together!
This album puts ALL others to shame. Todd is a genius.

Purse your dreams
Lol you're kidding, I think the same exact thing every time I listen to that song. It just perfectly fits that dark 70s/ 80s hand-drawn cartoon movie vibe.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Best guitarist....best producercer
I didn't realize there was a remaster of this album that sounded this good!
Awesome power rock! Just fucking awesome!
Superfuckinawesome
This album blew me and friends away back in late 70’s early 80’s.
the knocking sound during magic dragon theatre always scares the shit out of me cause I think someone is barging into my room
World Series of Rock, Cleveland Muni Stadium, 1977, this album rained down on the crowd.
+-Alan Hopewell That was a great one! I went to many WSOR's, Yes, Ted Nugent,Heart
Kid Leo, Jeff&flash,GOTTAGOTTA GET DOWN DAMNIT!!!
OH, don't forget TODD at the Akron and Cleveland AGORA's.Back to the bars!
IF...ONLY, I could have been there!
Yep, I was there.
Now THAT is the perfect snare!
if i may add my two cents i was always a fan of that klanky ride cymbal. powerful! cuts right through.
That's a signature Willie Wilcox sound! Especially when he plays it on the off beat like here: 57:17 Instant groove!
album strepitoso , una pietra miliare del prog inglese anni 70 .....e cmq notevole tutta la discografia di questo grande musicista-compositore-cantante !!
Americano, please:-)
This album is just great fun... love it!
I love this album from the moment I bought it in the 70's to today! Utter brilliance.
Still own this on RECORD

My comment to millenials is, just start at Todd's beginning and you'll get a better feel for what it was all about.
Love of music

was it just me and my friends, saying "Todd is God?"

love todd and his stuff, but seriously the scottish accent on here sucks
the Scottish accent was done by bearsville's house engineer John Holbrook. he's an Englishman trying to do a Scottish accent then afterward they sped up the tape to give it an elfin quality.
