Adrian Belew on the Strat. Saw him with Bowie in 78, he was superb on Station To Station intro esp. Then he was excellent on the 1980 Talking Heads tour.
Are you sure of that? R U in touch with Bowie in the afterlife? Don't get me wrong, I love Todd's best albums, as I do with Bowie. But, I'm unsure you can talk for Bowie from beyond the grave? It's not the worst cover I've heard. . . But. . .
@@theworldaccordingto4555 I guess you’re right but how do you know he wouldn’t like it ha ha It’s a 50/50 call haha so let’s say We think Bowie would like it. On another note I wonder if they ever crossed paths back in the day
Thank you so much for posting this. Todd is a favorite of mine, and I could kick myself for missing this show over the weekend in Philly. I get a huge charge out of watching him. Notice that he doesn't keep still -- he's always moving, acting out the song, or walking or dancing.
I could only have dreamed that Todd Rundgren would've gone out with Queen(May, Taylor & Deacon)for a tour. Sure, it would've been different, but I think it would've rocked.👍
I think Todd is far more idiosyncratic than Bowie ever was, so perhaps a true tribute tour to him would be pretty difficult to pull off. But I do agree with you.
I do from time to time. Kinda hard to find others that wanna do Todd or Utopia covers. Althought my own compositions have been influenced dramatically for over 40 years by these influences. Proud to say.
No one will agree with me more than likely but imo the best thing Todd Rundgren ever did was produce Steve Hillage albums like 'L'. His music was always a bit to jazzy for me but I do love this Bowie tribute. Gotta give it up for the old acid heads like me. Acid was the game chamnger in my life. It healed me in one session at 14 in 1972 from one of the worst childhoods people could imagine & I've never looked back. Played "In Search Of Space' Hawkwind cover to cover all night long whilst digesting The Hawkwind log book when I came down enough to be able to do so! lol
hahahaha...yeah I saw this show in Anaheim and LOVED the show, but someone needs to have a serious heart to heart with Todd on his outfit choices as he ages. This was NOT the only ridiculous, embarrassing outfit he wore that evening. What was happening (IMO) was, he was competing with Angelo Moore (remember him from Fishbone?) whose THING is to dress outrageously and he does it well (BTW some of the songs Moore covered were absolutely BRILLANT, some not so much) and it's sooo Todd to get competitive with other artists he's on stage with (I also attended a Todd and Joe Jackson show some years back so....). The funny thing is Adrian was dressed in a plain (and I mean PLAIN) white t-shirt and I was like damn Adrian ! you could have put forth SOME effort ! But now that I think about it, it may have been his way of saying 'I'm not having any of this wardrobe competition thang' 🤣 But all-in-all the night was fantastic and I HAVE to give a huge shout out to Royston Langdon (Spacehog rules !!) who was wonderful on every song he did. Royston does Bowie VERY WELL. Oh ! and Guru ! your comment ? Best so far of 2023 !! 🤣😅
This actually a very excellent cover...the backup vocals really gave this a feel like the original. I'm glad I skipped through the saxophone, I hate sax and was about to skip the whole video lol
I saw this show and it was absolutely abysmal.. The sax player was utterly dreadful... the drummer and the bass player literally could not keep time. Todd looked like he did NOT want to be there. It's dreadful that Todd and Belew were subjected to this. Luckily, I received free tickets in Phoenix because Danny Zelisko couldn't sell this show. Todd, if you need the money, just tour with Utopia... or solo.... will always pay top dollar for that. Adrian..... recapture your 1981 Kc persona please.

Todd has a tough time not communicating with his hands and he is 'hands down' one of the greats.
Absolute Todd at his most magnificent ❤🙏✌❤
Never saw him live before, it was awesome. Huge fan of his album The Individualist
A Wizzard ! A true Star, man !

I thought that he looked familiar.
@@phillipanderson7398 The white T-Shirt is a give away 🤩👀🚀🛰🛸🌞🪐🌟🌠
Bowie would be proud! Well done Todd😎👏

@@theworldaccordingto4555Because it's beautiful! Bowie loved beauty. The evidence is in his work.
No personalizing No improvising,
Simply pure tribute to the master.
Todd is a one mAn show...a true great. Ty Todd.

That was my first time seeing him live and he certainly carries himself with an aura that commands attention. The man knows how to perform.
Kudos..I saw him years at The Tower Theater..Philly. I worked on the sound editing of a David Bowie..
OUTSTANDING ! Todd and Adrian crushin' it !
He's amazing. WOW
Loved this tour and I wasn’t even a huge Bowie fan! ❤
Always loved Mr. Rundgren ..this is a great treat
This is incredible ❤️
A super tribute.
I always dig along when this comes on Sirius XM… The best live version I ever heard was on David’s ‘90 sound and vision tour…
It was nice seeing Todd and Adrian together
I could only have dreamed that Todd Rundgren would've gone out with Queen(May, Taylor & Deacon)for a tour. Sure, it would've been different, but I think it would've rocked.👍
I love this!
Reckon Bowie would be applauding the intro from this at his astral resting place ❤
Saw Adrian Belew on tour multiple times in the 80's. He has some great songs!
Adrian Belew ....... WOW!
Maestro... Ídolo.... Fantástico.... Que talento.... Feliz de volver a escucharlo y verlo bien ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Musicians should be doing tributes to Todd Rundgren, not the other way around.
Ha! Don't forget to let me know ASAP when that show happens
Todd would just be embarrassed by the whole thing. Perhaps after Todd is gone, but right now Mr. Jones deserves a tribute.
I think Todd is far more idiosyncratic than Bowie ever was, so perhaps a true tribute tour to him would be pretty difficult to pull off. But I do agree with you.
I do from time to time.

REALLY !!! I AGREEE 100%
WOW amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo
Todd's music my fav
Grazie.
Props to the guy on guitar with the cap
Adrien Belew of King Crimson fame. He also toured with Bowie.
@@mtnvalley9298 thank you for that info
I wonder how many people know Belew is the one who made his guitar sound like a trumpet on Paul Simon's 'You Can Call Me Al'
@@Ampletronics well I didn't for starters 😃
Todd made this song his OWIE.
nice work by Johnnie Luca to right the Theremin!!
We saw this tour in Atlanta but Todd was sick. He was on stage very little, kept having to walk off. Great show nonetheless.
is this Adrian belew on guitar ??
In the white shirt yes
Adrian doing what he does best, waving his freak flag 🙂
todd in his astronaut suit
I love to see real stuff like a guy rushing out to fix problems in the middle of a set!

Todd is based. Delta Fu!
Amen . . .

That outfit reminds me- must get the fairy out to put on top of the Christmas tree

Is that Adrian Belew on Electric Guitar?
Correct
fFuck great Todd!
This actually a very excellent cover...the backup vocals really gave this a feel like the original.
I'm glad I skipped through the saxophone, I hate sax and was about to skip the whole video lol
Il a de la voix Todd.
Would David like it ?
Esse cara lembra ou é igg pop.
Personnel?
Some things are better left untouched. Bowie is sacred to many of us and if you can't do the song justice, then leave it be.
Todd Is God.
Where in Akron anybody know?
Goodyear Theater
Never got into Todd Rundgren
I am a fan so I clicked. It's a bufoon bowie, seriously, no one told him not to wear that shirt???
No one should ever go near a Bowie song.
He doesn't sing normal notes, they can try but wil always fall short
Kurt Cobain. Man who Sold the World?
@@john8451 No
Some people really shouldn't wear skintight clothes in public. Sounded good though. If I only heard it I probably would think it was Bowie singing.
lots of clowns making a fool of an outstanding performer.
I saw no unhappy faces at that show. Very grateful to have been there. The crowd had a great energy too.
Qant j'entends ça me fait mal tellement il son à coter de la plaque A-B assure le reste bon musicien mais arrêté de chanter

I agree. This was lame. Loved Rundgren and Belew back in the 70s and 80s though!
I suppose he needs to do something to make himself relevant again.
Choose Bowie.
WTF!!
