    63 yrs. old here. You gotta have nads to do this song, even more to convince two incarnations of Utopia to do it. Incredible 🤩

    It's September 14, 2020 and I play this track in my car regularaly. In fact I played it two days ago.
    Some music doesn't age...despite the listener getting old and crusty!!

    Todd est vraiment l'une des plus belles architectes musicales de son temps. Il y a quelques années, une très bonne amie m'a présenté ses œuvres. J’en serai toujours reconnaissant à son âme translucide et majestueuse, prématurément envolée 🧚🧙‍♀

    This song... Such an incredible piece of music. This is nice to see this performance on the web. I saw the abridged version of this live (with the last Utopia show in 2018) and it wasn't played in its entirety (which I was really wanting). This fills that gap. Absolutely beautiful. Possibly my favorite Todd tune ever.

    Missing the third keyboard player and it shows. But it is sweet to hear that Utopia was played this favorite of mine in the 21 century! And how about that guitar! Not surprised to Todd played with a Line 6 (one of the good ones). Todd always rode the foreskin of technology, so to speak.

    Of note here as well.... Todd is playing the Painted Guitar ( owned by Eric Clapton in the Cream era) and painted by The Fool. Todd, I understand, had to sell this guitar about this time-- so maybe he was playing it for the last few times before parting ways.

      @ Yes ofcourse it is! :), but back then i understood the tour was also more or less done to cover for Moogy's large pile of bills for medical costs etc. so if something was released 'officially' we would not only have 'gold' in our hands but we, as worldwide fans of Todd/Utopia, would have been able to make some donation in Moogy's favour by buying the cd's or dvd from this particular tour as well..
