Brilliant version. Live prog on 1975 commercial television. I remember seeing Genesis for the first time also on this show or maybe Don Kirshner's Rock concert. All these shows mixed rock, soul, prog, folk and the lot. Better music, better times.

Almost everyone had no idea what Todd was singing about in this song. Powerful imagery and idealism when Todd was seeking and exploring and expanding consciousness.

I've never heard this song played the same way twice. That's one of the reasons I love it!

Hell yes! Taking me right back to when I discovered Another Live in the mid 70s. After seeing Todd live in '76, there was no turning back!

Historic! Love his youthful leadership, vision and energy. It's also remarkable how network TV once gave so much space to performances like this. R&R HOF please.
@jeffflinn205310 жыл бұрын
@Rich: Yes, precisely. And to think, his Born To Synthesize clip was on Midnight Special. No way that ever gets near the viewing audience today!
@morbidmanmusic2 жыл бұрын
Todd has no interest in the HOF and has said as much. I'm 100% with him as this isn't what belongs there. It's too original. Unlike most things in it

I absolutely agree with you. The arrangement is so much fuller and richer, and every line just sparkles. Kevin's marimba parts during the bridge are crucial for setting up the fadeout.

Todd hadn’t heard of Kasim Sulton yet, because he still had John Siegler on bass. Besides, Kasim was probably still in high school. . . .
@andybaumbrooklyn6 жыл бұрын
February of 1975 Kasim was 19 and gigging around Staten Island and the rest of the city. (We're the same age) He joined Utopia just a bit before his 21st birthday, in the latter half of 1976.

Why did the networks always have to add those horrible video effects back then?
