One of my faves. The older I get the more this song kills me. Sitting here wondering if I took my anti depressant this morning. What a wreck I have made of my life. 61 years old and I sit on the toilet when I get up and think to myself "GOOD JOB!" Not the toilet duty but my life. Well this song was on my mind and it brought a tear to my eye. I never got to see him live because I live in Nova Scotia but if I 'de had my shit together I could have bought a ticket and flown down there to see him.
I was 16 when I heard Todd first time. Todd Rundgrens Utopia and Hermit of Mink Hollow. It was 1978 I guess. And then... That's it. I'm from Finland. I have seen him three times here. My god! Greetings to Kasim. You winked your eye to me😉🥰
I am just getting into "Todd". This is the first time I heard this song. Very interesting and unique. I have Oops Wrong Planet, so I now need to expand. Not sure what to get next, but this is a start.
I was lucky enough to be in the front row for this show, and it was close to home! Saw this show 4 times....starting with Akron, OH, This show in PA, Morristown NJ, and Red Bank NJ!!!
Buy this from Todd. It's on his brand new DVD at Toddstore. The production value and sound of this performance has been brought up to it's ultimate potential.
I'm human, I stumble ! But I always pick my self back up again... This is my theme song for my mind rehab, for my demons of self destruction that I sometimes fall back into. Very Aprapo lyrics IMVHO, to help my strength to not falter ...TR is one of the Best "Wear your '❤" on your Sleeve, artists America has ever Produced.... Just Sayin
I saw Todd and Utopia live in Detroit in 74 as soon as the Todd album was released, and when he played this song it was about a thousand times better than this performance. It was much more serious and like a spiritual cry out to the human race. Not that this version is bad, but it doesn't touch what he did with Utopia in 74. Plus, he was playing guitar, not keyboards. Moogy and Ralph handled that. But the song itself is great and always nice to hear in any form.
Yes, I saw that show in '73 and this song, without having ever heard it before (pre-'Todd' release), was absolutely chill-inducing. I've worshipped at the altar of 'Pet Sounds, and I adore the Beatles, but Todd is #1.
Went to see Todd in Miami a few years back and I swear I felt like I was transported into therapy where he was confronting me about my choice of a narcissistic hb. No drugs were involved in the experience. He was a diagnosed Narcissist. He's dead now. Weird.
Such a brilliant musician, singer and songwriter. I grew up listening to his music. ❤
Todd is a musical genius, and an excellent lyricist.

I saw him in New Orleans about 7 or 8 years ago. Excellent, worth the trip. I'm your age so get to it.
He's still great. Go soon!
I get it. Peace be to you. ❤
Todd is simply amongst the most relevant AMERICAN COMPOSERS. Copland. L Bernstein. Rundgren. Zappa
I like him but your seriously over stating thing…. Hendrix, Campbell, Atkinson, Jerry Reed …
Such a great song. The version of "Don't You Ever Learn" on his "Back to the Bars" 1978 live album (which is fabulous) is a tour de force, stupendous.
Agreed. I have to hear it every week.
Any toddfiles know this song word for word and they have worn out 3 vinyls before cds appeared. CLASSIC TODD RUNDGREN.
Yeah, we of the old school know this one...
They're not "vinyls". They're records. Or vinyl (singular).
Yes yes yes ....
Yep
Sure do👏🏻
I love this! There is something we get in Todd’s music that always satisfies me very deep in my soul. I can listen over and over.
Countless hours spent listening and absorbing Todd in the day...still love his sense of timing and lyrics
WHAT A BEAUTY SONG TODD !!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU VERY MUUUUCH 😜❤🙏✌👍
Todd captured the feel this song had when recorded, live all these years later! Awesome!
Took me through my teenage years. Todd rules.
simply one of the best songs ever written!
I’ve been lessening to Todd since 1975. Thanks to my wonderful Brother. We where both in the Army and saw Todd in ElPaso

What a tight version of this song! One of my favorites by Todd. Also check Todd out and the verb to love. And many more of todds songs of course
incredible harmonies (Todd chords!), original, powerful and unique lyrics. Miraculous song
Absolutely LOVE this song..the music is to obsess over again and AGAIN for years to come. Todd is the Greatest of all time💟💟💟💟him
God, his voice is so fucking great!
Such a powerful rock ballad! Todd keeps harmony ALIVE !!!
Todd is my favorite alien
That was SUCH an amazing show. Sat in front row in St Louis, still remember it well despite being nearly 10 years ago!
One of Todd's influential songs on my youth ~ and with Prairie Prince on drums! :))
Love this & love his little foibles.Makes him & the song even more amazing IMO .
One of my most favorite Todd songs & LP's ever! Nice.
One of my favorites.
Dayum, I love Todd's music!
I am late coming to discover this guy, but he is a genius
Um, slightly. Mine his early catalog and feel your world change. His genius is incomparable...
Enjoy Todd, brilliant melody maker.
Pablo Picasso of Pop is the best descriptor I've ever heard for him...
Prairie Prince on drums--the best
He's perfection here.
Nailed this song👏🏻I kept listening to the drums and it was perfect.
Todd!!! Love this song!
Songs of my youth.
I miss you, Todd.
Real bad! 💔
Brilliant! thx for the video. Beautiful song ♥
??
Who did, Todd?
I am just getting into "Todd". This is the first time I heard this song. Very interesting and unique. I have Oops Wrong Planet, so I now need to expand. Not sure what to get next, but this is a start.
You must get the Todd album then. Hope you did.
hermit of mink hollow's a nice next one
Something/Anything is a good start
The self titled Utopia album from 1982 is one
I was lucky enough to be in the front row for this show, and it was close to home! Saw this show 4 times....starting with Akron, OH, This show in PA, Morristown NJ, and Red Bank NJ!!!
VenusGrnys Magical!!!?
XXX... Todd's vocals are PERFECT.. XXX
VenusGrnys Wow girl, Can imagine ..I "hang onto" his every word. . Wow
Beautiful. Masterful. Great sound and vision. Searing!
Thank you very much for uploading. I've been transported tonight.
Good as the studio original. IMHO. And perhaps the best live recording of DYEL.
In Todd we trust! Love the guys work!
TODD IS GODD.
Oh my heart!!!!!
Truly epic
I LOVE TODD
Such a pretty song. Oh, Todd.
Buy this from Todd. It's on his brand new DVD at Toddstore. The production value and sound of this performance has been brought up to it's ultimate potential.

Excellent Job fm6ct ! - Just Excellent..! - Todd was Great too... Smiles! ;)
Is that The Cars Greg Hawkes on the keys? Nice!
BluesLicks101 Yep!
todd played in the cars2 i guess they hooked up there,
That's one of the first things I noticed: his typical chicken head back and forth movement :-D
Todd always kills me in the softest way.

I was at that show. 👍🏻👏🏻🥳
Unfortunately I was 4 in 1974 lol but I got into Todd in junior high
I WAS AT THIS SHOW!!!
I get the sense he wrote this after suffering a personal loss.
Went to see Todd in Miami a few years back and I swear I felt like I was transported into therapy where he was confronting me about my choice of a narcissistic hb. No drugs were involved in the experience. He was a diagnosed Narcissist. He's dead now. Weird.
That was a close call.
I agree...Todd has something weird and strange that touches in a profound and often painful way...
Yeah he do have a moment with these songs It's Documentary
like at 0:45 god even makes flubs makes it more special
todd is god simple as that!!!
One of my all-time favourite Godd songs, slightly butchered, but still great nevertheless.
There goes Kasim
Hell Yeah ! Kasim Sultan !
TODD is GOD
tODD IS GOD
He still sens
Such a creepy song...such a n anthem!!!
Is he playing the successor to the RD-600?
I used to have an upgrade addiction that was solved with the RD-600.
After that I quit.
Don't you ever learn. Not the original1974 version, but near as dam it. Signifies an alternative not yet in place...
Someone I'm the band keeps hitting the wrong fucking notes.
OK so who is the very cute girl at the 4:01 mark? I want to friend her!!!
She is a completely beautiful soul, inside and out, and is actually the GF of one of the band members.
he is a lucky guy, there is a certain kindness.
RFS
Todd's vocals sound great! His piano playing, eh, not so much.
ha close enough he dgaf
Toee is m
Not that great
