5. I think you're right ...
that does looks like Rudgren. I was looking at the bass player and thought of Grand Funk.

7. Gotta go with Rundgren's Utopia
First big rock band I ever saw live - 1984 or 85, opening for the Tubes.

9. wow, that was fast! TR's Utopia it is!
Edited on Tue Apr-13-04 03:36 PM by darkstar
With the famous Fool guitar once owned by Clapton and Harrision. Photo is cira '74 or '75. The line up changed in '75, I believe...

Johnny, what did DenverDem win?

"A one day supply of Rice-A-Phony, the sans veracity treat!"

14. I've been down with Todd since "We've Got to Get You a Woman"
He's been way ahead of his time musically and technologically his whole career.

He also ended up with my college girlfriend from Austin. He stole her from Bruce Springsteen who stole her from me. Good taste, Todd!

True story.

10. That's Todd, for certain. I'd recognize that guitar anywhere.
And I think the rest of the band is Utopia (Ver. 1), so that would be John Seigler on bass, Kevin Ellman on drums and I think Mark 'Moogy' Klingman on keyboards, or maybe it's Ralph Shuckett, I dunno.

'A Wizard, A True Star' sometime. It's one of my most cherished possessions.

13. Oh yes , I'd love it indeed!
Got on a new TR kick the other day w/ his new album Liars out. Got some filler and weaker tunes and those not to my tastes (14 song, 77 min CD syndrome, but, IMO, my fave 5-6 songs on this CD best the top picks from any CD in, say, 20 yrs. (Standard no accounting for tastes disclaimer.)

Understand on this tour Ruyndgren is playing a replica of the Fool guitar above on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," i.e. Rundgren's first tour since Harrision's passing.

Hold that line, baby, hold that line!
