Todd Rundgren Solo Live 1982

[@STUARTFORSYTH-je8yr]

Every time he performs his songs touch my soul. Since I heard I Saw the Light in 1971 when I was 17, his music has felt part of me and forever fresh. I'm now 70

Same here!

[@michaelvassen962]

The people that get Todd, seem to see into a different dimension and feel his soul. Others just hear some music.

[@brianrankin4214]

A Dream Lives on Forever just may be the prettiest song about unrequited love ever recorded.

it sure is

[@wygakyl]

I believe he cornered the market of those angst numbers.... especially on "Something/Anything".

[@marymclureclark]

Agreed!

[@ritamarie4453]

44yrs ago my best friend gave my Wife and I tickets to see ,Rundgren at the St.Louis Opera House. I'd been a fan since 1973..Memories of the hopeful ,sweetness of living.

[@russ5695]

I was at that same concert ... awesome performance. And I have been a fan ever since.

[@henrystewart3882]

aside from it being an incredibly well written song, Todd's simultaneous singing while playing a 12 string and doing a million chord changes during Love of the Common Man is unbelievable

he's a genius

[@margaretgale4453]

I've loved Todd's beautiful songs for 50 years now. And he certainly is a genius.

[@TomFredericks187]

I was just going to say that.

He makes it look so effortless.

[@jansmith6229]

On a 12-string no less!

[@rooftopcat1785]

When todd talks, you wouldn't ever think that he's a kindred spirit, but he is. His music often reflects that. We are all just nearly human.

He's a good person.

[@richalderson6069]

I could listen to Todd sing and play in any format and never get tired of hearing his talent. Just a guy and his beautiful songs is enough.

[@mtnvalley9298]

I've seen Todd 4 times, over 40 years, and the last was in December. He's so skilled he does this like most folks talk and even more so as he's gotten older. He's so fluid at his craft, a true master. This solo act is one of my all time faves as it just shows Todd as Todd; quite the amazingly fearless individual.

Hi Todd I am listening to your music at 59 years old having 14-year-old twin boys who are my pride and joy. your music and lyrics. tell my life. And are the best Memories. I could ever remember. I shared with my boys your song I love my life as I have shared with many of my friends my age and older it means so much. Thank you IfThere was a. day I could meet you in person. It would make my life complete thank you. Your album the hermit and the mink hollow. With the bag lady song was my favorite living in New Jersey and visiting New York City in my teens. And giving a dollar to a bag lady as part of my allowance My dad gave me. I gave it to her Wow thank you for the music. thank you 👍for your heart ❤️😃

I fell in 2017 ☺️ (age 49) while in bed 😅 (stage-4 O. Cancer, with a 13%-survival rate 😐) ...listened to Todd Rundgren songs, after the KZbin algorithm introduced me to him. 😅 Met him at his 2019 meet&greet, b4 a show, and in 2018, I was still bald from previous yr. of chemo., when I went to my very first T.R. show. 🥰 By autumn, 2022, I surpassed the 13%er mark, and I'm still here. 😆😄☺️ Missed this years' shows; hope to catch him in the future. 🤞

[@evelynmartin4973]

I was mesmerized by his voice in this.

Yes voice was young

[@Lucypetuniaggm]

I love the simplicity & warmth of this performance. The lyrics are so easy to hear. Song of the Viking is so clearly inspired by his “Gilbert & Sullivan” childhood! At Todd’s 70th (Toddstock VA.) Kasim held a class on songwriting, & told some great stories. I recall him saying Todd was one of the best lyricists of “the second half of the 20th century.” He should know. Kas is a special guy in his own right!

[@siobob1]

I lived near Rundgren in the Catskills around the time this show was recorded and really grew to appreciate him as a singer, songwriter, musician and producer. So talented.

He sure is!

[@jamesmicucci7028]

I liked him when i didn't even know who he was. My friend bought the first 2 Nazz albums in 1968-69, with psych masterpiece Open My Eyes, the original ballad version of Hello It's Me, and the super heavy Under The Ice. In May 1972 I went to my second-ever rock concert. Headlined by the Jeff Beck Group, Todd was the opening act. Also saw him in Dec. 1984 at a club-type show in a solo performance, sort of a live version of what he was going to do on his next album, "Acapella", using backing tapes & vocal overdubbing. But the song that blew me away the most that night was Tiny Demons, originally the b-side to the Time Heals 45 rpm single thet came with the 1981 vinyl lp. Everything drenched properly in echo & delay made for a fantastic atmosphere... p.s., I've got an old bootleg cassette tape of a show (is it The Agora, Cleveland 1985?) with a very similar sounding version of Time Heals. I think it might be available on a legit cd release these days...

Nice to hear long time fans

Correction: meant to say Tiny Demons on the cassette tape... I call autocorrect.

[@sonnydrumsmcwilliams8719]

A musical genius is an understatement! Todd’s lyrics in so many of his songs, to me, are beyond spiritual! I don’t know the words to describe all of the feelings his music has evoked from my soul! I know it has touched my mind in many ways that it has made my life a better, more thoughtful life, and through those feelings I’m sure I’ve reacted better to people and by my actions have touched those people too! But it was Todd’s thoughtful seeds that were planted in my brain. So Todd, you have no idea how far reaching your love has spread. Those people will never know where the kindness came from and Todd has no idea how he has inspired me In So many ways. He has touched so many lives and no one recognizes where all of this love and kindness has come from. Thank you Todd Rundgren! You are an angel to many of us and you are so appreciated!!! Love to everyone doing their part here on this great earth! Todd, you are 100% correct: LOVE IS THE ANSWER!!!
