I always knew Todd was a phenom instrumentalist and singer, but remember listening to Heavy Metal Kids when it first came out and hearing the "I know I could make this world so peaceful and calm, if I could only get my hands on the hydrogen bomb" - at that moment I realized I was listening to one of the greatest rock lyricists on the planet. I am glad he still mixes it up and rocks out.
Sounds of freedom and so much help to those of us needing to have a bit guidance to gain perspective, and just be. ThanksTodd and ALL THE master musicians. SERVING HERE
Prairie Prince - reminds me of the time I saw Todd backed by the Tubes at an SF street party in 1990. Got there at midnight left at 5:30 am and they hadn't taken a set break yet by the time we left!
@@jefffirnhaber6250 And how! A guy I played music with was at the bar across from our rehearsal/recording studio. He wanted to go score some coke at this guy's live/work loft warehouse. It was only a couple of blocks away. When we turned on to Folsom St. the whole block was blocked off and there were all kinds of people. What's all this? So we walked in so my buddy could cop and Holy Shit! It's Todd Rundgren backed by the Tubes. HELL YEAH! I had been a huge Todd fan since Something/Anything and a huge Tubes fan since their first album. it was truly a magical night. Best Todd show that I ever saw as I did not see the original Utopia line up.
For anyone interested... "buncha other people" = Greg Hawkes (of The Cars) and Byron Allred (Steve Miller Band) on keys, both of whom have worked with TR prior to this. Hawkes is the one with the silver hair.
@@pat3834 Well he is a man of wonders, yes? A wizard, a true gem. I'm glad I got to see him in April 2019 when he was doing his Individualist tour in the Chicagoland region.
Always great stuff from Todd. I like the re-doing a classic album concept. Heavy Metal Kid tough to pull off for a sextagenerian. But he still rocks ! This whole band is excellent.
Todd Rundgreen...when you are true to yourself and dedicated to the art of music and poetry, master several instruments and not interested in selling your soul !
Lady rocker.. Front stage groovin.. Gotta be Toddys numero uno fan.. Cos I swear she devotes great time unto his shows.. Including in Europe.. Amsterdam with the Metropole Orchestra.. Yep.. She's There.. Et al et al etc etc... Fair Play.
He sings so sweet, can't help loving Todd and after all these years still working like a dog. Thanks for the music Todd .

It's actually Bobby Strickland doing double duty on keys and sax along with Greg Hawkes....
Long live the Runt!
The 5 foot 11 inch runt!!!! I wonder when he got his growth spurt......

Fantastic! Also check out Izzat Love Remasterd by Grofinet
Lady rocker.. Front stage groovin.. Gotta be Toddys numero uno fan.. Cos I swear she devotes great time unto his shows.. Including in Europe.. Amsterdam with the Metropole Orchestra.. Yep.. She's There.. Et al et al etc etc... Fair Play.
Yes I have noticed her too . She is a very dedicated fan. I wonder who she is, indepently wealthy, family member? Intrigued.
Izzat Love definitely influenced by Laura Nyro
Izzat love!?
Your outro hurt my ears. Please be considerate to people who use earbuds and watch your levels. Aside from that, I enjoyed this. Thanks!
Love Todd but this sounds MIDI.
