I saw Todd last night in Clearwater, FL and was flabbergasted. He played for over 2 hours and played songs I had never thought I would hear live. His guitar was better then I have heard in a long time and his voice was great, aging gracefully.
Nearly 60 years in music and Todd just keeps going! This is a rare ageless human being, he sounds so fresh, mentally sharp and as enthusiastic as ever, like he hasn’t aged since 1972. His beautiful touching early 70s songs must have been his elixir to a long working life. This man has even been credited for co-inventing an artefact of computing technology in the 1980s. Long may his genius continue along with great happiness 🙏🏽
I completely agree... Also David Gilmore and Peter Gabriel are just amazing. Never out of ideas.
@@leegmc1985 David Gilmour is fantastic and has been squirrelling away in the business non-stop. Only discovered a few years ago that he personally went about getting Kate Bush into the business due to her songwriting and natural musical talent. In some ways Pink Floyd was like a side gig when you look at the other stuff he was involved in. Same for Peter Gabriel a legend in World Music, decade after decade since Genesis fame.
Daryl hall and todd rundgren Philadelphia music at its best
Love Todd ❤ Brilliant songwriter singer musician and producer! So much phenomenal music!!!
Unbelievable ! Finally, an interview where the interviewer doesn't talk over or interrupt answers. THANK YOU !!!
Todd, you are a wonder. I love your music so much. Been listening to you for most of my life. Thank you so much for the joy. ❤
Such true comments Todd. Tell it like it is!
I think A Wizard, a True Star was such a singular achievement that it will be rediscovered and inspirational to young people for many generations.
Funny you should say that as the semi-current song "End of Beginning" by Djo really gives Todd Rundgren vibes. Not sure the singer/writer Joe Keery knows his art tho.
I wish I could write songs like Todd, he's a wizard, a true star. Most people lose interest when they get older, he seems to be working harder. Keep 'em coming. Just give us something, anything.
Genius
great interview. thanks.
Hard to believe he was 75 at the time. He looks fantastic for his age. I would have guessed 60s at most based on his appearance.
Here for my noise fix, thank you♧◇♡♤ Love Rundgren♡
Good Stuff, met Todd a few times, just a brilliant artist on every level...
I love Todd. Seen him many times in every decade from early ‘70s till the present.
Todd Rundgren, world renown curator of his own sound museum, humanitarian, and humorist.
Hahahha. Living legend. Amassed just about THE most massive of the most massive songbooks... I think he's up there with Prince, Bowie, Billy Corgan, myself, etc...
I just LOVE that 30-years-ago is "contemporary" to Todd!!
(When he mentioned how this tour would focus on the 90s and aughts now)
LMFAO 🎉😂
I can't wait to see him live!!🎸
'Been a Rundgren fan since the 60s. thanks
Great guy! Outstanding composer & brilliant musician!
Producer first class!?!
Nice interview!!
Glad there was some chat about his producer output. Love that Todd!👍🎶👍
Baby Blue Thank God for Todd
Just saw Todd. Unique dude. Unique music, his thinking and messaging is great
quelle artiste extraordinaire merci✴✌💙🤗
Can’t get enough TODD! ⭐️⭐️⭐️. ✌🏽❤️🌏
HealingLoveALL
he is a legendary producer. though he's also a great songwriter.
I wanted so badly to come to your show. But I became disabled and it has changed my life. Missing you and Daryl is heartbreaking to me. ❤ you to infinity!!!
Yup! Getting to know the stuff played last week!
Got me when Something/Anything was released 73 at 13 years old... Forever a TR fan, GENIUS musician.
I think Todd underestimates the impact of "Hello, it's me" on "And Just Like that". I just checked and the song has 37million listens. Surely a song that touched viewers so deeply would coax them to listen to Todd's other works. Glad he's still rockin' and happy making music.
Yeah that show brought me back to Todd’s music . Those scenes made me break out in tears , cause of the song . Very much needed then … every time I listened to it .
Just love this interview
Great Interview! Always excited hearing what he's up to and hearing his new music.
Hello Its Me was an instant hit
Please keep this going. I could listed for 3 more hours! Excellent interview!!!
I always love Todd's new ideas. Never heard anything from him I didn't like. Hope to see him in concert again! I might have to travel to do it. I saw him twice here in Vancouver. Once with Ringo Starr. He's looking good!
A true wizard... Mahalo for the music & evry!!🌺
Good interview. Nice to hear him so complimentary of Tommy Emanuel.
Australia is and always has been a smorgasbord of music nutz. Bands. Hippies, fun. The land of music, living life . Best of all you there and finding the personality that smacks the butt.
I love this interview! Can’t wait till April. We may have some new surprises.
Todd is my favorite ever!
Nice to see Todd is still rockin it. :)
Hey Todd I'm not too old to live anymore (I hope) LOL
Love Todd and love Davey.
The meme analogy is a great one. So true!
Just an amazing extraordinary angel 😇 ❤
I wouldn't go that far
Love ❤️ Todd
The with a twist album has brought much joy. Taking your songs and putting them into bossa nova arraignments is genius. When you can take a song and put it into any genre and it still sounds good shows the value of that todd
Great Interview
I love Todd. Have since S/A. His lifetime of music to me is a lot like my Scotch collection. Some bottles are approachable from the first sip; others have to be acquired; some I'll only drink when I must. lol
Love the new glasses, Todd!
Band in Australia: Sex on Toast.
Todd has the brains, the talent, and the musical energy of a man decades younger.
Whenever I can I go see him or Utopia when he’s accessable.
13 times, so far
God said todd
fromNAZZ TO RUNT BALLED SOMETHING AND ON AND ON TODD MELODY RUNDGREN IS STILL IS DOING HIS MUSIC -THANK GOODNESS!

Hi Todd. I remember the french orange festival in early seventies. Great music
Hi Todd
First, Davy Lane's usual gig/band is called, You Am I. If you are unfamiliar fix that immediately!?! FANTASTIC songs and one of THE BEST live bands in current existence AND you don't have to go to a stadium to see them (although they certainly deserve to be in stadiums). Second, the "hope" that the music listening public will move from singles, Lil's, and hip-hop/rap is exactly that, hope...at best. The aforementioned You Am I is woefully unknown and don't count on seeing Lemon Twigs on SNL anytime soon. Meanwhile, Tay-tay will have yet four more mentally and emotionally stunted number one hits. AND full albums!?! Third, I don't know what Todd is on about here but he was most certainly credited as a Producer on Straight Up. Just checked my first pressing vinyl and double disc re-issue from the 90's. Clearly credited on the cover and the labels. 🤔 Lastly, he needs to do this exact format as a show...with anybody willing or on his own channel....but beefed-up to like VH1's old Behind The Music. He could do every second of two hours talking about how the hire came to be, how the sessions went, reflections and anecdotes, etc....for EVERY record of his own AND others AND it would be every bit the success (if not more) as Live at Daryl's. Especially while some of these artists/musicians are still alive 😬 He and Meatloaf kicking that off would have been pure gold. 😔 Front row tix to two shows in May. CAN'T WAIT!!! 🤩😍
I like the Ballad album best. And the Utopia stuff.
Long Flowing Robe !!
Love love love that song!
i love Todd!!!😍😍😍
Gilbert and Sullivan were todds listening experience as a kid. It seems to me that show tune music produces great rock
I was excited to see Todd again here in Charleston SC. Was gonna get tickets. Its been over 30 years since I've seen him live. But, I just saw an old interview , where he said he doesn't want Trump supporters to attend. Guess I'll go somewhere else.
I'm not a Trump supporter but Todd needs to turn down this kind of talk because all it does is increase the divisiveness in the country, it's extremely unhelpful. There's good reasons why people (mostly working class) are drifting away from the Democrats & instead of engaging with those people Todd & others just ridicule & criticise them. Democrats (I used to vote Dem) pretend to love & accept everyone of any race, religion, gender, sexual oreference etc etc but if you dare vote Republican or are a Trump supporter they hate you. The hypocrisy is unreal. I don't vote either party now, I just hate the whole system nowadays tbh but I totally accept whatever someone chooses.
What are your 24 US tour dates before going to Austrailia?
We used to buy record albums for just one song. Inagaddadavida
at least it was half that record!?!?🤣
Great interview. Articulate Todd as usual. Bat out of Hell to date has sold 43 Million copies and is certified 14× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It is also the best-selling album in Australia, having been certified 26× Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA)
You can add Seattle too!
You can ask for approval before they use your song. You have leverage. This is my business.
Hi #ToddRundgren 👋 How's Japan ? If Michelle comes down I can show her around Sydney ❤. Hope you're looking after the man 🧔🏼♀️ He's either getn blindsided or gazumped.🙀👀 The architecture of that ceiling is great. Stay sane 🤪 you guys.
Wonder if he reads these
I missed meeting him in Woodstock NY in 77
at Andy Robinson's house that was a studio by about 30 minutes 😞
Scott, what a gift to you. It's a shame that more people are unlucky enough to miss out on Todd. Love what he does, every time he does it.
Hard to believe people can use his music without paying licensing fees. (?) Wtf?
Todd is always scratching his nose..... I do that too. Makes me a little like him 😇
Non, les fans des débuts de la carrière de Todd (1970) ne sont pas MORTS car ils étaient et sont toujours plus jeunes que lui 🙂 C'est mon cas.
...lol... an actual benefit of the RnR Hall of Fame induction....better touring guarantees:)
Interest fact... EVERYBODY thinks it is sex in the city. It was always Sex and the city.
I wish that I could have spent an hour just talking with Todd. I don't like the label "fans". I am so lucky to "get it".
"
100% agree with his taste about SNL musical guests. Ice Spice's T&A "performance" was embarrassing and sets women's rights back decades.
How about transwomen? Men who identify as women & compete in womens sports? How does that compare to a SNL performance with regards to women's rights?
Great artist, seems a little bitter though.
He did an interview on Marc Maron's podcast a number of years ago. After the interview Maron said something along the lines of "well there you have it my interview with Todd Rundgren, he was a bit prickly". 😂
Leave it to Rundgren to wear red glasses. Nobody has red glasses.
Bubble gum music. Chew it up and spit it out. It's been the major labels' model for decades.
Nowadays it's easier and much less expensive to use machines.
Artists are often hard to handle, even with drugs and other coercions.
Acoustic guitars keep selling. People still want real music.
Go out and support your local music scene.
Thanks for a great interview. Todd is god.
Barely any of Todds recent albums use real instruments. He does use a guitar but everything else is done using software on his computer which imo is why his albums just don't sound as good these days. I'd love it if he went back into a recording studio to do an album instead of just using his laptop.
Sex Pistols? lol
Nowadays they just have a hook with no chorus . 😂😂 And meaningless lyrics
I had never heard of Todd. But ofcourse I grew up withisong &it really takes me back.
Never thought I would play it on guitar it just came on thradio & I found I really liked playing it. Thsinging really inspiring.

I like Todd’s Frankenstein hair.
