TODD RUNDGREN - ORPHEUM THEATER 5-18-72

This is the oldest audience recording as far as I know of Todd's career. Todd's opening up for Jeff Beck at the Orpheum Theater in Boston, Mass. May 18th 1972 a couple months after "Something/Anything?" was released. This was Todd's first tour since the Nazz besides doing some radio shows for "Ballad" and one show with RUNT that was so bad they never did another one. From what I understand the band consisted of Tom Cosgrove on guitar and vocals, Stu Woods on Bass, The Hello people with Norman Smart on the Drums, Zack "Head" Lang and Larry Tasse on Key's, Gregg Geddes on horns,. and Bobby Sedita on Harmony vocals. Jeff Beck's sound crew pulled the plug on Todd cutting his show short, I believe he was given 45 minutes but only played 35. Not sure if Todd pissed off the crew because of complaining about the lighting and technical issues but apparently the PA showed up late so they had no soundcheck and because of that Todd's set was cut short I remastered the show by Adjusting the speed as it played too slow, EQ'd and put through an exciter to add high frequencies that have been lost from age so it sounds better than what is out there now.
