Todd Rundgren is an absolute icon. What else is there to say except, thank you Todd, for everything.
Todd is ‘The Ikon’…
Joe is such a gracious host, and Todd is one of the most awesome musicians to have ever drawn breath. Thanks for posting.
A Real Icon... But, To me one Badass Guitar Player...
The most fun gig I have ever been to was Todd in Manchester on the 'Arena' tour. He was so obviously having a ball and it rubbed off on the crowd. I just had a smile on my face for days.
Genius of a man. The version of 'Mated' with Richie Kotzen from his 'And Friends' album is one of the most beautiful songs ever written
That tour was a blast. His Oops Wrong Planet Utopia tour with Todd climbing the pyramid and dangling by one hand and playing guitar with the other hand was the most visually spectacular experience I have ever seen! He’s never been given his due.
@@wildpony1957 Absolutely - Ive watched the video hundreds of times.
I saw one of the very last Arena shows, on Long Island. Great venue, a theater with stadium seating, great sight lines. And they just tore it up.
One good thing about the pandemic lockdown...we probably wouldn't have artists (and interviewers) doing videos like these - because they would all be on the road or erstwhile busy. An incredible amount of unknown music history has been added to public view over the last year. Thanks Joe!

Great interview Joe! Todd is a musical treasure.
ingrid netherlands
Thank you for interviewing Todd Rundgren, Joe
Two highlights for me: The performance with Metropole Orkest and
When my guitar gently weeps with Joe Jackson very moving.
Thank you Todd Rundgren!
Those concerts were great!
Todd Rundgren Live in Japan is the best concert video ever. The band was more than great.
A Capella, 2nd Wind are 2 of the best albums ever.
That Japan concert is quintessential Todd. I first saw Todd on his Back to the Bars tour stop in D.C. I was underaged and borrowed my roommate;s ID to get in. He played two shows, backed by Utopia, that night. I was so blown away by the first show that I got a ticket for the second show.
Ronny Hawkins … the Canadian musician Todd referred to … this was wonderful thank you!
Love the rooster in the background 🤣🐓
Drunken Blue Rooster !

ERR ER-ER ER-ERRRRR!!!!
Kauai.... they say a typhoon like 100 years ago scattered a chicken farm and now it's just an uncontrollable rooster colony
My favorite musician is Todd
My all-time musical hero!
Todd A Wizard A True Star, It's way past time for him to be in the RRHOF
I would agree with that.
Amen
Done
Us fans finally got him into the hall. True renegade Todd does not seem to care.
...always looking forward to Joe's interviews,
He's a natural at it.
I usually watch these YT sped up and realized that Joe is Jay Leno with his same cadence and inquisitiveness. Totally a pro.
I'm a beginner, putting in the work and these video interviews of your Joe are part of my classroom
Check out Tom bukovac
funny...while in Australia..i heard Todd songs covered..Dreams of Ordinary Men was played by the best down there....god i love his music..git down Joe....
The nazz!! The first 10 lps by Todd are musts!! The ultimate artist!!
Fantastic! Thank you Joe! The One and Only Todd Rundgren.....WOW.
Really informative and interesting interview. Todd is truly a Wizard. Joe does his usual stellar job.
Ooo JOE❤️ So interesting interview come again with Todd Rundgren🌹 You have very interesting guest again🤩 Thank you so much for everything your job what you do❣️ Stay healthy and be well my love😘😍👍
Thanks for doing this show, Joe. I'm a looooooooooooooooooong time Todd appreciator.
Since 1975 for me!
I’ve met Todd on a number of occasions, including a visit to his old place on Mink Hollow Road. I got a dose of his notorious sarcasm, and one of the most interesting demonstrations of computer graphics I had ever seen. This was around 1982.
Kudos. Didn't know how involved he was in 70s rock production. Gotta love the rooster crowing..... your keeping it real.
It was awesome interview JOE❣️ Your guest was amazing Todd Rundgren🌹 awesome t🤩 Thank you for earlie time to watch and write with other peoples😘 You are the best JOE❤️😘😍👍
Best interview Joe, fantastic. Love, love, love Todd, thank you!
In 1971, a friend told me that a PBS Special was on that night. I had heard of Todd but hadn't actually heard him. I watched the Special and was amazed ... the extra was the second 45 minutes ... "The World's Greatest Unknown Guitarist" - Roy Buchanan
That's so cool. I haven't ever heard of that special.
That’s awesome. Not only is Joe a badass singer and guitarist, he’s a great interviewer
dear joe, becoming a big fan of modern jazz, if you did one or two cd's ep's or albums on it i would buy it all, can't get enough of taste full smooth guitar riffs. just getting old man.
Thank you Joe for one of the most informative, relaxed interviews I’ve ever seen with Todd. Really gets inside his thinking and process. Very valuable addition to what I call Todd Studies...

I went to the Mcurry the K SHOW! 1967. "SWEET WINE" and "NSU".
I can always say that your Nerdville episodes with the invited guests (like Todd Rundgren) and many other guests are very exciting, interesting and amusing ... I love them, Joe ... thank you very much and take good care of yourself , Yes
Joe, I'm doing exactly the things you and Todd are talking about. I'm a modern day 2021 student of the blues with the intention of becoming a blues performer, singer, songwriter
As someone who has been trying to do that for over forty years and who has made every mistake in the book plus a few more I have this piece of advice. Make it your own. If someone says 'That ain't BLUES' tell 'em where to get off. Or to turn that around, don't make blues music, make music that feels like Blues to you.
Name for Joe's next supergroup: Bluestopia
This is very unexpected and very appreciated. Thanks Joe and Todd.
Wow, I am such a big fan of both of you!
Awesome! Sharing great stories and insight especially on the eclectic way Todd got to be Todd. Thank you again Joe!!!
Rundgren’s a genius. But i had no idea how much of a genius he is. something/anything has always been a special record and i knew about utopia and i knew he was a killer guitar player. but i never realized the breadth of his career as a producer.
and what a great storyteller.
thanks for sharing this incredible interview, jb!
(ps: i had no idea when i started watching this, TR produced “Stage Fright” for The Band-One of the great records of the 20th century. A happy coincidence for me. Tho my handle is just a nod to my actually having stage fright and not an homage to The Band. Tho i love The Band.)
And how about the Janice Joplin record! This was fascinating!
A true renaissance artist!
Of course, I was familiar with the AM radio friendly Todd, but the guy that got me hooked once told me that I would never leave a Todd show without a smile on my face. Still true 40 years later. Hey Joe! Find Alex Lifeson for a chat.
I never got why people treated their studio time as a party. We always showed up to record after a couple of weeks of practicing our songs the way you need to play in the studio. (More precisely than live) We tried to get in and out without blowing our production budget - and managed to do it for a couple of albums. Now you can have a home studio and do as much or more than one of the main studios of the day. (mid-seventies)
He is an innovator. not an inventor. What a great person. I would love to meet him.
Great interview Joe.. Todd is my absolute fave guitar player and I loved your questions!
I knew you'd be here
Unblievably cool stories. The Clapton shit was next level.Wow. And he has no ego. What a nice guy. And this from someone who qualifies as a musical genius.
Wow that’s fantastic! thanks for having Todd on there!
Thanks Todd Thanks Joe, That was so great to listen to you both. Assume interview.
So great!!! Can’t wait!!! 👍
As a long time Todd fan, I truly enjoyed this. I didn't know a lot about some of the things Todd shared. I felt like I was there in the room with you two. Fun!
Thanks Joe & Todd, just what I needed. Another episode to take my mind of the difficult car rebuild I have going on at the moment. Parts and service is not what it used to be, that is for sure.
just bought a 2021 Z71 LTZ drives like a limo, every time i get a new truck the first track i put on is Asia by steely dan. now they have stations with modern jazz, to me the off spring of steel dan.
love to hear your version of modern jazz blues.
And Todd has produced and collaborated with Rick Derringer who also played on Steely Dan albums.
VOTE FOR TODD!!! ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME 2021
I only saw Todd once and it wasn’t the best show ever but when I look at the body of work it’s amazing
When I saw Todd in '78 I was so blown away that I bought a ticket to his second show that same night. I've been a huge fan ever since.
I really like your shows Joe in these troubled times its a nice thing Thanks and thanks for a previous responce from you.
Amazing guy and one of my all time favorites! Thanks for sharing! Wish I was Hawaii! Was there when I was 18 and never been back
absolutely fantastic, loved it. The 2 of you could of talked for days and I would have had to miss work. Thank you
Again, Joe, thank you so much.
Todd Rundgren - Innovator - check, provocateur - check, influential - check, fantastic body of work - check, commercial success - check, legend - check, great songwriter - check, legendary producer - check, guitar god - check, touring monster - check!! Eligible for the hall of fame for over 25 years? WTF are they waiting for!!!!!!!
Really.
Killer singer - CHECK. Incomprehensible musical GENIUS... check.
@@vampyros1 Absolutely!!
He was never really famous. That's why.
Wonderful interview. Thanks so much.
I hope Henry Stoll is watching this ❤
Did two show with him in Memphis in the mid 70’s.
Todd....like Beethoven...musical genius....i love it...😀
Actually, more than Beethoven...
@@vampyros1 Yeah....i agree...😁
Great interview. I truly enjoyed it. Thank you Joe and Todd.
What a pleasant surprise.Great interview!
Great interview, one of the best TR ones I’ve seen, thanks
He and Clapton had some of the same influences on Kiddie.. He was nailing those things way back then just killing it. He had way bigger horizons even then.
How is it possible that Todd Runs been is not in R&R Hall of Fame??
He is now.
Looking forward to checking this out and hoping they do a deep dive into todd's guitar sound. I've yet to find an interview that does so. i'm especially interested in the details behind his early Utopia sound...the first two albums. The sound on Another Live is killer
Agree, Another Live is one of the greatest live albums ever.
I think one of these guys has chickens.
Another great show, Joe. You are creating an important and entertaining compendium of music history. Big hello from Winter Park, CO in the beautiful Fraser Valley.
Often during Todd Rundgren interviews from his home in Hawaii, you’ll hear chickens, frogs or doggies in the background. It’s kind of Cluck, ribbit, arrf. Onomatopoeia 😉😉😉
Grateful fan✌🏽❤️🌎
TR really seemed to enjoy this interview. We got a rooster and a dog as a bonus.
Seen Todd Rundgen at Sunmerfest in Milwaukee with Ann Wilson and Alan Parsons .
And Todd is right about the audience not caring about the sound quality.
This will be a interesting interview, to say the least.
A buddy of mine, Richard Orange from Zuider Zee had one of the Synthi Hi-Fli's that he used on their albums. At the time I think the only other artist's I knew of using one was Todd Rundgren, Edgar Winter and David Gilmour. Only 350 were made I believe and hard to find now, but did you ever try one out in your collection of guitar goodies.
Great interview!
Wonderful interview!!!
Two super nice guys.
Todd's ability as a guitarist is often overlooked in the grand narrative, which despite this being a really enjoyable interview has happened here too. Thought the debut Nazz album, 'Nazz', had it's moments including 'She's Going Down' and 'Open My Eyes', it was second album, 'Nazz Nazz', where Todd really delivered in every sense, from engineering and producing, to songwriting and playing as well as arranging. There is killer guitar all the way through this track from 'Nazz Nazz'. Todd also arranged the strings. And the fact this tune is segmented as it is might remind some listeners of how Yes tunes would consist of various movements.
A couple things: the Nazz was named after Jeff Beck's 'The Nazz are Blue' by the Yardbirds. The singer the Band was with in Canada was 'Rockin'' Ronnie Hawkins and Robbie Robertson and co. were the Hawks. Mike Vernon produced the 'Blues Breakers' album (also 'The Hard Road', which featured Peter Green) but it was Gus Dudgeon (RIP) who engineered it, which included capturing Clapton's Les Paul cranked through a Marshall 1962 JTM45 (something Jimmy Page had also done to good effect on the Bluesbreakers' single 'I'm Your Witchdoctor'/'Telephone Blues' a year earlier.
Todd tends to shuffle past 'Something/Anything' when discussing his legacy. He did and played everything on three sides of that double album, bringing in top session players including Rick Derringer (McCoys, Johnny & Edgar Winter, Steely Dan sessions...) and John Siomos (later w/Peter Frampton) for the fourth. Like the Beatles' White Album', 'Something/Anything just keeps on giving. It is a wonderfully varied collection of great tunes that warrants much greater attention than it ever got. Also, when Robbie Robertson (and the Hawks) left Ronnie Hawkins to become The Band, he was replaced by Domenic Troiano, whose bands Mandala, and Bush (not the British one) included Prakash John (bs) and Whitey Glann (dr), who went on to Lou Reed and Alice Cooper. Glann was also seen in Bette Midler's 'The Rose', with the upturned bass drums. Troiano and singer took over for Joe Walsh when he left the James Gang. When Troiano left, Tommy Bolin took his place. In addition to solo works he was also in the late 70s Guess Who (that's him on 'Roseanne'). For a killer solo try Troiano's 'The Answer', which is him with his Bush bandmates.
Now back to Todd:

Interesting information about Todd
The Roosters!!!🐓
Best episode yet!!
Joe's guests always give good insights into music aspects I never knew about.
Virtual tour? I wonder if Todd uses the so-called 'green screen' technology now where it would seem that he is physically in the venue? Well... maybe he prefers the props to make it kind of a theatrical experience.
Anyway... Keep'em coming Joe!
Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️

Todd you are my favorite Musician and have so many Incredible Memories and Moments in my life, I moved to the Bay Area and meet my best friend who turned me on to you, we would get together and she would make dinner and listen to you all night, My favorite song is The Last Ride and I loved all of the Utopia Music, you are such a Amazing an Spiritual Musician, so Creative, Love you and your Music So Much saw you in Dallas recently at the Majestic 2023, loved every second of it, could go on and on but I won’t ♥️Heart 💋❤❤ Lisa
Northeast! Represent!
Todd and Joe! Who would have thought? Mark another box on the Covid Bingo Card!
Man, I am so glad you’re into Todd…
I had heard from folks in the know at Sony who've listened to the master tapes that the Janis album was NOT live but they added audience noise.
I love Utica NY He's gone beyond his hometown...Utica has too much of a small town mentality with it's successful citizens that left. I can't see him playing there again.
Surprised not to hear any reference to Laura Nyro. I do hear her influence in Todd's writing.
Todd has been very forthright about how her music influenced him. They became friends and actually tried working together, although I don't believe that anything came from that effort.
Todd is God !
I DIDNT KNOW HE CREATED THE EARTH
Godd!
We used ADAT to record our symphony decades ago. we embraced that when it came out. I was working for very small live sound company. We did national acts mostly country because we both worked in country music at the wheeling WV Jamboree which truly second only to the grand ole opry with a live show every Saturday night so we knew all of those people. when they came to a fair or anything around here that didn't have sound they said can you call these guys? and the promoters did. In the 90's we expanded that country radio show to other shows because our corporate owner was clear channel at that time and wanted to get their feet wet in live music before the Live Nation spin off. Eventually the EVIL EMPIRE killed the Saturday night live show radio broadcast which was Jamboree USA at that time. we also created the first live multi day country music festival. We did, not our owners. they just backed it. We rarely seen them. they came in and took the cash out in garbage bags. Live Nation killed that also. 2018 was sadly the last of the week long event with live music from Wednesday thru Sunday and acres of campgrounds. What a shame. things got so big with the out door stuff I actually predicted about 10 years ago that we would never see the bands live again aside of some very wealthy people which would be limited. Even if the band was there they would be behind a giant video screen and would never have contact with the live audience. Sad that it has come to this. I'm already fed up with concerts because of the ticket prices. Every act has to carry IMAG because the first row is already 10 times as far away from the stage of a theatre and 6 times away from the stage at an arena. Not to mention the 5 tractor trailers full of bells and whistles.The average person can't afford a good seat so they buy lawn seats and with out a giant screen you may as well be at home listening to the radio. so now the new nor will be this. You play one show in 20 cities at a time and that's your north american tour. I understand the thought process from an entertainers point of view just like when they built the sheds and killed the arena shows in small cities. why would an act play in a 8000 seat arena when just up the road on the hill they can sell 20,000 seats but i think it sucks.
Love Joe. Love Todd. Joe, please stop the "like, ya know".
I love Jimmy Hall! Do a new version of "I'm Happy That Love Has Found You" and his version of 634-5789 with the straight ahead beat, not the shuffle.
How many times has Todd taken a poorly developed artist performer, and made them into a better musician?
🌟Every time🌟
✌🏽
never. They all started off good, or he wouldn't have been there. Just a bad assumption. Producers are NOT the magic bullet
how do we get Joe to stop saying "y'know" every 4 words?
Joe , great interview Todd is such a cool dude . How long have you been looking for the Fool ? :-)
Which one of you guys owns the rooster? I hear it crowing. I'll guess Todd.
Was Todd talking about Ronnie Hawkins?
Yes
What about foamy?
Love Todd, but Richie Furay was from Poko, not Little Feat.
Poco?
Cafe a go go? Cafe Wah maybe.
I am old school. I love live music, in the room, in the moment. I video screen isn't it for me. Right now during the pandemic, yeah I can make the best of it. But as a rule, I want the perfomer to be on the stage in front of me. I get where todd is coming from but his idea isn't going to get me to part with my money.
I have seen a whole lot of Todd shows going back to 1974. And I was dubious about Clearly Human but did one show and was simply blown away on all levels-production design, musicianship, set list, and Todd, who was playing and singing at the top of his game, really in the zone. He was so happy to be playing, they all were. Ended up doing four shows including the final one 3/22, so grateful I got to experience them. The residency concept worked so great for this show-it’s so expensive and cumbersome, exhausting to tour with a large ensemble, and the tech issues of setting up and breaking down every day or two, plus possible tech glitches in new venues... So Todd was fresh the whole time, everybody was relaxed and totally into the show. Anyway, this changed my mind about the possibilities of virtual shows. Don’t get me wrong, I would have killed to be in that room, to see it live. But if the format gives us more of artists we love at their very best, I’m open to it.
Doubtless this will be released either streaming or on DVD. Really worth checking out.
@@secondsightcinema3957 Anything Todd does is done well. He is amazing. I didn't see this show. And I can see you point about huge shows costing money to take on the road. Maybe this is the future. I still prefer the band to be in the room with me, eye to eye. But that may not happen as much and what Todd did may be a way to "virtual tour" in the future. We will see I guess. But ya Todd knows how to do audio/video like no other.
