If I had to demonstrate to the Martians the best earthly example of rock/pop, I would choose this track. Unlike most rock, it's beautifully arranged so that none of the instruments get in the way of the other, or of the lyric. Next is the sheer power of the lyric itself -- the driving force of this unconventional love/lust song. Lastly, it's entirely possible that Todd might have been in the best voice of his entire career here.
I've seen Todd and Utopia many times, the first was Auditorium Theatre, Chicago in 1974, the tour for the 1st Utopia album, this 92 tour is outstanding period, just four of the best at there best, it slays me every time I watch my copy that a good friend turned me on to. They never received the respect they deserve. They should be in the HOF period
Yeah but, it's the other way around, during his Wizard/Star tour, he closed with a band he formed called Utopia, 1973, I know, I was there, the Fixx formed in 1979...Thx for commenting
HI Harry Runt, Having seen this magnif. vid. I've sniffed out a copy of the DVD +CD on Amazon UK for £11.50. Bargain of the Century!!! Many thanks for posting. Cheers Alan
@EleSkelter Wow.. heehee ..blushing huh? me too.. Do you have the Real Man video taken from the TEPTAE DVD? Mark had it on his channel, Todd has his black& white spiral tank top and he's dancing all over the stage. I really loved that version. I have the DVD, but no means to upload anything. let me know, thanks Dan

I love this version of the song. So slick…I still play it over and over.
Utopia were a fantastic all star band. ❤
One of the best Utopia songs ever.
Kasim Sulton=Utopia's secret weapon. Amazingly talented.
For sure. Monster bass player and singer/songwriter.
Absolutely!
And underappreciated...

I was there, this concert. Those days, they came to Japan every year. Good memory...
The boys are kickin' ass live on this one! Todd's voice and Kazim's 5 string bass just SMOKIN'!!!!!
I dare say I love Rundgrens solo stuff...but man Utopia is just fantastic.
Astonishing. I'm just speechless at how good this is.
Indeed!
Very talented man good god!!---!!!!!!! 🎹🎸💙💙🎵💙💙
Why is Todd not recognized as the genius he is? I just don't get it!!!
This is so outstanding..I have it on my desktop for my morning wakeup .. my fav of all favs.. thanks Dan ..YOU ROCK!!!
And Still There's More... Tank You
Thank you for posting this. I didn't know it existed. I have the song on Oblivion.
I can listen to the song all day long 😎
Me too, and I have. You can see, feel, and here, the whole band is in the pocket In this particular performance. 100% dead on.
Kaz's bass knocks me out. This band is hard to give justice to.
Too good, how's that?

I cannot get enough of this song!
Profoundly moving lyrics and melody.
This may be the best live recording I own... Utopia never sounded so sublime!
This performance is so on the money
It's amazing how much this music has a similar sound to The Fixx. It's awesome!!!:)

Cool.
very New Wave - has a Wang Chung feel to it
I saw Todd in Osaka around 1990, his Second Wind tour. He was wearing the same skeleton pants. Wasn't there a matching top?
@gudatine I detect the faint scent of Rose Petals wafting over my keyboard...and I blush ♥♥♥
