TODD RUNDGREN / UTOPIA - TIME HEALS ROYAL OAK 4-3-81

[@richardwear5205]

I can remember a few times in 1981 when songs off Healing seemed like gospel to me. Unreal powers at work here.

[@edwardlphifer]

Richard Wear I am going through the loss of a dear friend and I am grieving something fierce. I swear, I've always thought that this would make a great gospel song, too.

[@janakayz]

I listened to Healing I, II, and III while laboring...my kid's heart beat had kept slowing down so I "beamed" to him to keep up with the music and it worked :-)

[@RickNowels1]

I love this song...I've seen Todd play 35 times since 1975.

[@mojorisen74]

This is one of my all time favorite songs by him. Especially live. It's a Chord progression that only Todd can think of lol...

[@oopsadaze]

I think I'm pretty close to that number. Add in the Kasim Sultan Concerts and when Todd played with The Cars.

[@philipottato8625]

25 times out of

[@JohnMasino]

The band is spot on and Todd is really funny when he's talking...

[@carolfan4466]

He could have had an alternative career as a comedian...

[@susiemike33]

I was at this show. Both nights. I did not watch Dallas. Such good stuff.

[@michaelhaniotes36]

What's Dallas

[@susiemike33]

@@michaelhaniotes36 Watch the clip. Dallas was a show that was on TV back in the '80s. I did not watch it, like Todd says in the intro. I was at his show. That's Dallas.

[@oopsadaze]

DALLAS was an old TV SHOW and Spoiler ALERT... J. R. Did it!

[@Mooseboy08]

LOL, quite amazing to see "The Fool" get a quick repair job onstage. That guitar has been in some amazing hands during its life. The story is that Todd bought it for about $500. The last time that it was sold to somebody, it went for $500,000. Would that my guitars appreciated that much in value!

[@greggates1137]

Todd is great. Great band too. Roger Powell is a sadly underrated musician. He is one of my favorite keyboard players

[@paulgardner9763]

From the album 'Healing.' Seems a funny thing to say but Todd is the most underrated musician ever in the UK, so many people are astonished when I introduce his stuff to them. For me.. he's The Master. By quite some margin. I was incredibly lucky to get into his work years ago. Thank you Todd, still fascinated :)

[@jbinini]

😍 we were at this concert! I will always be in awe of his multitude of talents!

[@mitchcoop1]

If I was still in a band I would love to cover this. I met Todd @ a gig I was playing in San Fran. He was checking out a band (I forgot name) to produce I guess, 1987. He was so nice to me (Fan Boy)

[@dalewoodard6477]

Just saw him Live a couple weeks ago, still going strong in his mid 70's. A real artist

[@SonicBodhi1]

I remember this period in my life, it was after I went to see Utopia during the Adventures tour. I must have literally worn the grooves out on this record, I played it so much. Still one of my favorites. I also have this dvd.

[@StephanieAGudeman]

Some things never go out of style. I agree with Richard, biblical lyrics. As for the 3 haters? Yeah, those are the ones who make the wounds that no one can see

[@izzatluv]

still love him

[@barbwarford8525]

ME TOOO

[@bluestate69]

he's awesome!!!

[@Soundchaser2010]

I was at the first show of this concert...precious moments

[@urincontempt]

Congratulations to Todd Rundgren, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. [2021]

[@boggybond]

Genius pure genius!

[@mrstacyj9496]

a wizard, a true star

[@kevinwall5970]

His voice sounds great, especially since this is the second show of the night and they were filming them for a DVD.

[@bettyrosinski8878]

saw utopia in Toledo Sam show very memorial love to he a really this again

[@motorpsych0]

Fantastic! Hand me the Phillips...

[@dismukology]

The 2nd show is always the one to go to

[@BenjaminBowling777]

Positive motivational tune

[@barbsaulamiller5606]

I was there. Still have a plastic cup and some sound tape discarded by a tech.

[@scottcameron3559]

Brilliant

[@TheDerekeder]

Sublime!

[@brotherthor8699]

No one is better than Todd, male or female.

[@charlesmann5516]

Light of Sun , Light Of Night....This True Star and Wizard Sings it just Right....Loving Care to All the Answer is Just Right ...

[@charlesgriffith5557]

I am a old fan. He rocked my world in the 70’s and now too! I still spin “Hello it’s me”. And Still think he’s the main man in the Rock world.

[@charlesgriffith5557]

Yea man, he’s still great!

[@charlesgriffith5557]

You are cool!!!!!!!

[@RockinSG]

It's in there somewhere!

[@ericrosseter6094]

Detroit Michigan

[@banjoboy01]

what's the name of that SG that needed the phillips screwdriver? the "fool guitar" I believe

[@mojorisen74]

Yeah, It's a 1964 Gibson SG Nicknamed "The Fool' as the artists that painted it were a collaborative named The Fool.

[@Autoxdriver]

What the heck happens at 3:58? He takes his hand completely away from the guitar to make some gesture up near his face and the guitar keeps playing???

[@mojorisen74]

Hes doing hammers on the string with his finger

[@wakajundouga]

ご機嫌だぜ！w

[@otineb5]

Not crazy about the camouflaged get up. But then it was during the 1980s.

[@SonicBodhi1]

I remember

[@jackson5781]

Wow? He was acting like he was a whack job back then

[@dismukology]

+Jackson Anderson He was wacky. That was par for the course, and kind of the way it was, and it was good.

[@jackson5781]

+dismukology I'm a huge fan of Todds but there are certain parts of his career aka (the 80s) that are just horrible

[@jackson5781]

+dismukology the 70s was good especially when he made the record company pissed off lol

[@janakayz]

@@jackson5781 stuff your opinions in a sock, bro

[@BlackMan614]

Todd is a dichotomy. A hardened liberal, who nearly went to prison for not paying his taxes. Then years later, falsified a loan application and then sues the bank for "allowing" him to falsify it. He tours today because... he needs the money. Go figure.
