Todd Rundgren remembers meeting David Gilmour, producing Grand Funk Railroad, and getting high in the latest installment of The First Time.
After recalling the first time he recorded a song and bought a guitar, Rundgren discusses the first synthesizer he ever owned, which he purchased at Manny’s in New York City. Weeks later, he received a phone call from the store saying, “There’s this guy in here from Pink Floyd, his name’s Dave Gilmour. He’s interested in a synthesizer but you’ve got the only one we had.” Gilmore went over to Rundgren’s, where they fiddled with the machine. “And that’s how I met Dave Gilmour,” he says with a laugh.

I met Todd in Toronto at the Olympic Island festival concert which he headlined, around 1974 (with Status Quo, Dr. Hook, Rory Gallagher). I got a pass for the press area but not the musicians' area. That bummed me out, but then I heard Todd's voice behind me. He was already surrounded by fans. He had Bebe Buell on his arm. She was a Playboy centre-fold. I went up to Todd and said, "As fans, we read everything we can about you but you will never know us as individuals." He thought that was so cool that he gave me an interview for the Ryerson eyeopener. Then he asked me what I wanted to do. I said, take pictures of him and the band on stage. He then gave me his pass. He said everyone recognized him, he won't need it. So I got to take some amazing pics of Todd and the band. He was an amazingly sweet, wonderful person.

Todd comes across more relaxed in this interview than in other interviews I've seen. He even laughs at a few moments. Todd has had a somewhat difficult life. There are reasons why (often) he is very wary of people. I saw him live on the first Utopia tour. The first part of the show was Todd (with only a microphone) singing songs from "Something/Anything" & "A Wizard, a True Star" backed by a tape of the studio backing tracks. The second half of the show was fully live with the original "Utopia". Half the audience walked out, but I stayed. If I could ever meet Todd, I'd tell him that the problem at this performance (at the Miami Beach Auditorium) wasn't Utopia's music. It was a very bad, shrill P.A. system. I assumed at the time that this was the reason why Todd didn't attempt fully live versions of his shorter, more pop-oriented songs. Clearly, the members of Utopia were capable of playing the songs, but they would have sounded bad through that poor P.A. system.

Each band member chipped in to help me buy it. After a few gigs I paid them back. It was one of the first Juno series. No presets! All the sounds you got, you made.

My first guitar was also a beat up small acoustic guitar. My Dad sent me and my brother for lessons but it was horrible. He took too long! We wanted to play NOW! So after 2 lessons we quit! I got a Beatles Guitar book and learned a bunch of chords. In 1969 I had a cheap Japanese electric guitar & amp. I learned to play the solo note for note on The Beatles " _While My Guitar Gently Weeps_ " But I've always loved Todd's music, starting with " *RUNT* " 1970 _We Got to get you a Woman_ " He played all the instruments! That's what I want to do! And I did it.

As did Peter Paul Chato (see below) I met Todd in a small club in Gretna, LA. Utopia (the quartet version) was playing 2 shows a night for 2 nights...and I had tickets for all 4 shows. I snagged a seat front row center, which I kept for all the shows. Before the first show the second night, Eric Gardner, Todd's then-manager, came up to me and said that Todd wanted to meet me after the first show. I was flabbergasted! Eric came for me after the show and took me to the Winnebago in the parking lot. Todd was, as Peter Paul said, incredibly nice, a truly sweet, regular kinda fella. But I had NO idea what to say to someone I had idolized for so long! The thing I took away from meeting him, though, was that his hands are HUGE...I'm not a small guy, and when we shook hands, his fingers were up beyond my wrist. No wonder he can play guitar like he does! And he was genuinely tickled that I knew the words to everything they performed.

The first time I heard the word "apropos" was in early summer, 1972, at a free concert outside the U. Mass stadium, in Amherst. It was Todd Rundgren, fronting a band which included The Hello People. I forget if he or Keady, Smithline & Baltimore opened. Both bands were excellent. Got to speak with the lead guitarist from the other band, inside the stadium, at the Fleetwood Mac concert the following weekend. I vaguely remember Mr. Keady helping with Hello People's set-up after he'd finished his band's set.

Glad RS found someone worthy to spotlight instead of, say, plastering a dreamy pin-up on their cover of a mass murderer.

He may have undiagnosed schizophrenic tendencies. Weed will activate them.

one time I was at a house party in NYC, 1990s, and a joint was being passed and I took a hit and said "this weed tastes STRANGE -- like laundry detergent!" and my friend said "nah, it's just sweet weed" but then they took a hit and said "you're RIGHT!" so I asked everyone "what's IN THIS JOINT?" and they told me to ask the girl who rolled it (she was the daughter of the Big Doofy Blond Neighbor Guy with the ascot on the Jeffersons, so she likely had a long history of drugs). When I asked her, she casually said "crack cocaine"! I MAY HAVE SMOKED CRACK! And it was incredible! Everything was like a SLIDE SHOW rather than moving pictures --- exactly as Todd described! Never before or since did pot make me feel that effect!

Getting less sentimental as one ages seems like the right direction. Also thank you. Randy.

"To this day I can't read music." Wow! Jimi, Tori Amos and Duke Ellington also never learned to read music. Possibly Prince too. Utterly amazing!

Todd, we need a new song. Fans need to know that you are out there and still capable of rocking the world.

He's also launching the first-ever virtual national tour this month. He's performing his 1989 album 'Nearly Human' live in full along with some other songs. I'm not sure if he will debut anything new on this tour, although apparently a new album is coming. You can buy tickets and watch the shows from the tour at home: nocapshows.com/artist?name=toddrundgren

What sucks is, he irrelevant! He's old(er) no longer a Star like he use to be. Record companies don't want him. They want the young singers. Only problem...Everything out there sucks! Todd blows just about 100% of the new acts away! I'm sure he can find someone to release his music. And he can book clubs so his fans can see him perform.

He’s definitely still capable…saw Todd and his band play an outstanding show on May 17, 2024. He brought his A game. A true legend.

The first time I got high George Jetson climbed out of the TV and winked at me. I was 14 in the mid eighties.

I can relate. Only I saw George pop out of the TV way earlier when the show was first on,& & I was too young to get high yet. I must be older than you. ; I always loved the way he would hand the ladies in his family cash anytime they wanted it. lol

Well he is in the RNR HOF now. I hope he shows up in Cleveland. Getting in with Carole King may induce him to appear. They may want him to play a song that he doesn't want to. I'd take Just One Victory over Hello It's Me. Don't You Ever Learn? ⭐

Yeh, he said he loves Carole Kings music but doesn't want to be compared to her, being the male version of Carole King.
