Todd Rundgren and Utopia

Todd Rundgren & Utopia's Live at the Old Waldorf was released on CD last year by Cherry Red as part of Rundgren's ongoing series of concert releases but it makes its vinyl debut here from Real Gone Music.  Recorded on August 5, 1978, this concert was part of the Back to the Bars tour.  Several concerts from that tour have been released and a couple of shows formed the basis of a live album.  This August 5th show features the classic Utopia of Rundgren (guitar/vocals), Willie Wilcox (drums/vocals), Roger Powell (keyboards/vocals) and Kasim Sulton (bass/vocals).  The set concentrates mostly on material from Rundgren's then-recent solo albums including Hermit of Mink Hollow from April 1978.  Included are such songs as "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference," "Love of the Common Man," "Can We Still Be Friends" and "Hello, It's Me."  This new edition will be gold vinyl in a gatefold package and limited to 1,000 copies.
