Fabulous!! He looks so young - what year was this??

Shawn McLaughlin

Yes...one of Rundgren's best songs. That guitar Pre-dates Prince's "Symbol" axe by more than 15 years.

Bob Fitzpatrick

I was just starting my senior year of high school when this was on TV. Great song, great band.

Laurie Santine

I love this song and love you too todd♥

Jack McQ

Oh man, did I need that! I really don't recall ever seeing this before. Though I've been a little 'anti-internet, media,etc' lately. - One of the few positive things about the internet, for me lately anyway. Thanks. Just, thanks.

Phil Little

This, for me, is one of the all-time best songs Todd ever wrote and sung. This is Todd at his best. I've heard all of his albums, early and recent, and I think this song should have gotten him a whole lot more money and fame than it did.

@ChasBeauregarde I have no idea what that is on the mic stand but I'd like to know too. Your guess sounds good. If u like The Beatles 'look'... there is an excellent YouTube video of "I just want to touch you'. The fact that Todd (with and without Utopia)...along with The Doobies...are not in the Rock n' Roll Hof F...is proof positive that ignorant fools comprise the committee.

I think I remember seeing this on TV. Love the Nehru jackets - reminiscent of the Beatles last 1966 tour. Adventures in Utopia, I believe was the album that was released right after "Deface The Music." Anyone know what kind of device is on Todd's microphone. I'm guessing some sort of pre-mixed echo send unit. The 3 part vocals are phenomenal live on this song!

Utopia was a FIERCE live band in the late 70s/early 80s...I would hate to be in a band that played after them on a bill!

@Galantski Thanks for setting me straight--I have AWATS on vinyl, AiU on cassette; I just turned 59 and my memory's starting to get a little hazy, lol. And I do see your point about "The Very Last Time," it might have actually been written around that time; could easily "fit" on any Todd album, except for maybe "Deface the Music." : )

Galantski

@Iamheofwhomhespeaks - I must correct you about this. It's from "Adventures in Utopia' (1980). Also, "A Wizard, A True Star" (1973) was not a Utopia project, but Rundgren solo effort years before he formed the group. "AWATS" is similar to "Something/Anything?", but more psychedelic. Back to my comment on this song; although recorded in '80, it's different from most Utopia prog rock, being very retro and sounding like Todd's mid-60's group Nazz. If you like this, you'll like "Not wrong long".

Eddie Cartboy

@Galantski This song is from "A Wizard, A True Star" Utopia album, from the early '70's. EXCELLENT concept album, in the same league as "Something?-Anything."

Galantski

Sounds like it came off of a Nazz album, no? (Think "Not wrong long".)

It is so cool to see how Todd and the guys were in the beginning. YOu know with Todd and the helm he always seemed to be learning as an artist trying new things. Doing Second Wind which in my opinion was awesome. We hardly hear anything from that anymour that is a shame. But what I am getting at Todd is never stagnant in his art He is always pushing himself . It seems as if he loves to perform no matter the size of the venue. I still am hoping there will be another tour this year Milan276

Alfredo López

Suzie Q

Saw it, too! I remember tripping out when Mike Douglas announced Todd! (because he's supposed to be my very own personal artist, ya know?;)
