Todd Rundgren - "Can't Stop Running" on Night Music

[@philipgardiner2003]

It's 2024, and I'm still listening to this incredible performance of this amazing song. ❤

[@kimsampson1471]

Me too! Hard core love of Todd’s music🩷 I went to Kauai😁

[@philipgardiner2003]

Who is still listening to this magnificent artist and performance in 2020!?

[@marthathorne8361]

ME! Wilson, NC.

[@philipgardiner2003]

Congrats Todd‼️

[@virginiaking6252]

2024❤

[@Besokool]

Watched this when it first aired decades ago. Recorded it on vhs. Now I'm 61. I still love it, 3/24. I wish I could slow it all down, time stand still.

[@MaryMclureClark-oc9ww]

I CAN'T STOP LISTENING!!!

[@brucewalters8635]

Todd is the single greatest musical artist. He's a multi-Instrumentalist, he sings, writes all tunes and lyrics and can mix the sound like a sound engineer who's specialty it is. Everything from the initial inspiration for a song he creates, through every aspect of his creative process to the final fulfillment of his vision. And he does it all very well. Todd was doing this from around 69/70. Way ahead of his time.

[@imautopian]

I can't stop listening. need sleep. lol oh wait he's in my dreams too. dammit ;)

[@mauijaystar]

I loved this album and tour, there was something just magic about it all. Todd is touched by a very particular grace.

[@gwgwgwgw1854]

That's a nice way to put it. Another word is "magic".

[@veronicabanfield5010]

​@@gwgwgwgw1854❤

[@veronicabanfield5010]

Iove his music ❤

[@LiathT]

Todd is such a beautiful, honest, and humble soul and this performance of this song just proves it.

[@richardscottmusic1]

DAMM!!!!!!!!! Maybe Todd and Daryl Hall influenced each other. All this before auto tune. Pure talent. Love love love this..

[@John-g4u6e]

Outstanding

[@38zambrano]

the amount of talent on this stage is absurd, you have Kasim Sulton singing back up , Hiram Bullock on guitar and Godd Rundgren....please.

[@38zambrano]

Omar Fucking Hakim and David Sandbourn....WHAT???

[@pennprodigy]

love that utopia reference near the end "feet don't fail me now"

[@ringino]

The best. From my teens to my 60s now, Todd Rundgren music has been running through my veins. No one compares.

[@RDBean]

71 Dec 24, been a fan since the Nazz

[@greatgooglymoogly]

Night music needs to be released on dvd! What a band and performance from TR. RIP Hiram and Don Alias.

[@belga3513]

RIP DAVID SANDBORN. EXCELLENT MUSIC BY TODD RUNGREN.

[@MichaelEhrhart]

Todd Rundgren is what Mick Jagger and Robert Plant wish they could be.

[@TheJollycoppers]

I think Todd has more staying power than either of them. Mostly because he continues to write and explore different sounds and genres. Jagger and Plant are more or less stuck in their 60's - 70's mode (although the Plant and Alison Krauss duo has proven to be successful).

[@brucewalters8635]

TRUE!!!

[@andrepalhasalves2361]

A mais pura verdade

[@violettenoire8980]

Love love love this!!!

[@RobertPignotti-x3u]

RIP David Sanborn!

[@rednoise0]

I was just noticing how much fun the band seems to be having. Check out how Omar breaks out into a huge grin at 3:35 when Todd holds the big note and the band comes barreling back in for the rideout. And how Don Alias does the same at the end stop (4:15). They knew they were involved in a magic moment!

[@mikech3315]

The whole song is magic but it even intensifies a 2:95 when the guitar player cuts in and gets creative - great performance by the band and of course Todd

[@ibmark2u2]

You are so right my friend!

[@damoncatacalos8519]

this man is amazing. the variety of styles, his intensity, innovative compositions, accessibility, lyricism and poetry are astounding.

[@farleytaylor5493]

Ultimate Todd.

[@victoriagrove5344]

Our genius Todd thrilling us again!

[@tsuyoshinyc2]

Todd, Stevie Ray, Jeff Healey.. They get so excited and do the best performances with the house band together. David, Marcus, Omar, Hiram, Tom, Philip and Don. Wow, it's been 30 years passed. At the time we thought we were able to watch this level of quality music pretty often. And now, we realize it was like a miracle we can't see this level of pop music anymore... So lucky that I was around and absorbed so much when the highest quality pop music was created.

[@MyDreamGoesOn]

Todd's voice is the so strong and my ears are so pleased, what a performance!!!

[@RogersGibsonES137]

He was absolutely blooming as a vocalist at this point. I still wait for his next album, project, or video to come out.

[@Looking1231]

Don't forget in addition to Kasim on background vocals is a certain Michelle Gray AKA Mrs. Todd Rundgren.....

[@katbird158]

Thanks I thought that's who that was.

[@AlanCarriage]

Omar and Hiram you guys are such an inspiration !!

[@josephbruno2998]

when it comes into the chorus iget goosebumps all over!!!!!!TODD IS GODD

[@manysons]

I miss this show!

[@Hermanroovers]

one of the best live performances of this song even better than the "live in Japan" version...

[@TheDubyaBee]

The Live in Japan performance are painful. I feel my own throat tightening up sympathetically when Todd tries to hit the high notes.

[@karlgustaviii]

Nothing but a beautiful soul can write melodies this beautiful.

[@gerardscimeca2487]

Todd kicks ass and the ass turns around and thanks him... such a gift from the musical Gods.

[@sharonhollock3040]

BEAUTIFUL

[@RevGuitarzilla79]

The nearly human era is the greatest!! A stand up artist songwriter.

[@karenlanfranca1947]

I love this man! 2023 and he still sounds as good as he did here 14 years ago! Him and Patti LaBelle are the only two artists that bring me to literal tears of joy when I hear them. I saw Todd in concert at least 20 times back in the day, for many years. Love me some Todd!

[@kevinlofstrom1799]

Hiram Bullock what a great player RIP

[@karlsimpson4390]

Dope ❤

[@DizziNY1]

I love Todd.

[@mellowildwood]

I remember seeing this when it originally aired on "Night Music."

[@gegloff1]

me too! Was just going to make the same comment. I was living in the West Village in New York and beginning my career as a musician. This show was like a lifeline, and this performance was so memorable.

[@wrinaldi]

Can't get enough of this! Truly great. Who cares about the rrhof. His music and his genius and his heart are for all of us to share and enjoy. And what a fantastic rendition, it beats the one on the album. Love it love it love it!

[@kellywelch9653]

Awesome sauce.

[@evam5589]

great song and the back up vocals are spot on.

[@judyrose-estes3616]

I love this tune. What a stage full of talent. This is the best rendition bar none. Todd, your pitch and vibrato are perfect. Love it. Love it. Love you.

[@jamespriest9658]

It's always likes vocal clinic, know him since 72 and discount.the, times he blew his voice on tour he is a better vocalist everyday.. it's no accident, the workhorse

[@RogersGibsonES137]

That maybe one of his best vocal performances for my money anyway!

[@jon4913]

What an outstanding outing with an amazing band. RIP Don Alias

[@rednoise0]

Hold on there! Omar Hakim is still very alive and kicking! Maybe you were thinking of Hiram Bullock - he passed away in 2008.

[@jon4913]

My sincere apologies to Omar and anyone who read the above. You nailed it, I did have him confused with Hiram. My mistake.

[@Happyharold666]

so good to see Hiram . what a group!

[@sharonhollock3040]

I am still listing to this...

[@jeffcullen6573]

FIRE!

[@sallyanndahl]

This performance leaves me speechless. No surprise coming from the one, the only...he is still inspiring me into my fifties and started inspiring me when in my 20's. ..............the strength to run may soon be gone - now I watch the young ones coming and its on their legs I'm running into the arms of my God. He always gets it.

[@rijaca3]

Incredible. Todd Rundgren is a gift, an amazing artist. And his wonderful wife, Michele, is a beautiful gift as well. Lovely people.

[@DropAnchor1978]

Always great to see and hear Kaz with Todd!

[@incognito7479]

Nearly human Close but a little more. Another dimension in Todd’s tenure. No harm.

[@darylvanhorne69]

todd is has so many styles! love him!

[@donaldpendergrass2604]

gorgeous

[@darrylb5247]

Check out mid-80's Todd singing LYSISTRATA on the DAVID LETTERMAN Show. Blows me away that guys like him and Edgar Winter can play different instruments at outstanding or higher levels as well as sing and arrange and compose! Jeff Lynne of ELO too! In my cuckoo fantasy land I have those 3 making NEW MUSIC and RETRO-TUNES together! Haha!

[@hopefulspin9]

Such a class act and modest beyond belief and what a band. Guitarist tone and playing: wow. We don't seem to have the wealth of innovation and talent that seemed to be around at this time . Some of todays music is good but a lot is so very similar. TR - always manages to push out something very different for us to enjoy...

[@toddrunt]

God Bless Hiram Bullock.

[@user-ss7ck7pr2o]

what live performance: the quality of the entire band is incredible. TR is stunning especially when he holds the notes. To have watched this live would have been something......

[@AlejandroMartinezAp]

I'm 34, I just discovered this amazing artist. Who can recommend more songs like these?

[@divingdeep]

Check out his album Almost Human. This song is on it. All the songs are great!

[@johnpowhida-wg8bz]

a wizard a true star from the 70s acapella from the 80s and no world order from the 90's liars from the 2000's then get all the Utopia and the rest

[@paulgardner9763]

Still the ultimate composer for me.

[@hopefulspin9]

Breath-taking performance by a great band headed by the inimitable TR. I cant get enough of his music and his voice.....

[@kimr.5149]

I remember the first time I saw this. I brought the cassette tape. I still love this album♥️🕊

[@makissoflife]

Simply awesome!! Todd is "Godd"! What a rockin' band! And Kaz is so cool! Thanks rednoise0!

[@wisewumman]

One of my favorite forgotten treasures, this show, with one of my favorite treasures, period--Todd! I didn't see this episode somehow--THANK you!

[@astral_drive]

amazing lead singer and that handsome backing singer 🖖

[@michaelchurchill1889]

Inspiration -Grace -blessings

[@PapaKuda]

Love Todd and Kasim!

[@timgeary1908]

+PapaKuda Kasim looks so uncomfortable not having a bass strapped on.

[@ma4utopia]

always a great performace to watch... thanks mike a

[@MyDreamGoesOn]

What a guitar player!!

[@52hogan]

This band rocks.

[@JeffWeavil]

one fo the best musical nights on TV EVER...THANKS for posting

[@sharonhollock3040]

Such a beautiful voice...

[@wilsonrodriguez3037]

Que increible tema de esta prolifico cantante Todd

[@mtjensen5]

I'll never get tired of Todd's music. He'll always be one of my faves!

[@terrybuckley7253]

Such a great song, one of many of Todd's...great performance!

[@bernwebb1539]

Deep joy here, how sumptuous is this...the rhythm section, Hiram...the vocals from everyone. Amazing.

[@voicetube]

I so recall being a BIG fan of this song (and the album!) in the 80s!!! SO cool to see/hear it again... Thanks for posting!

[@laurastolarz4646]

feffen Genius.

[@jzcoll]

N I C E . .. Todd~1989; and the arrangement with that great back-up, is timeless.

[@gravano2]

I love Todd - but his early pop tunes are the best for me .

[@TheJollycoppers]

I watch this video over and over....love it! If it has 96,229 views, I may be responsible for 41,281 of them. lol.

[@ibmark2u2]

Sooo Good 👍

[@johnstrawberriusfields]

my hero

[@suedee100]

Flashback! Wow, I remember watching Night Music, and it was so fun to see David Sanborn again with one of my very fav artists, Todd. I definitely recognize many faces here, and it sends me back to a good time in my life. Thank you for posting.

[@pretorious700]

This was a great show-what happened to creative songwriting and people PLAYING INSTRUMENTS and singing live?

[@micktheMaag]

WOW

[@ponchocervantes]

a pop genius with brian wilson, prince and many more...

[@donaldpendergrass2604]

magic

[@hypno59]

Beautiful!!!!

[@SugarBear0199]

Todd is God!!!

[@mrmatko7243]

I saw this tour in Chicago at the Riviera Theater. Apex stuff where he concentrated more on singing than playing guitar ... He had Lyle Workman on guitar but he still played on a few songs. That tour had at least 6 capable singers even though he was without KS on that tour. Edit:. Oops the video may be from the time of the Second Wind tour ... I saw the Nearly Human tour at the Riv.

[@jamespriest9658]

The singer, not the song. Todd told me that in 1979.. and yup

[@tracyperdue8096]

❤️

[@marylouisetucker3591]

yep - genius

[@epyxhmstr5717]

Beautiful classic stiletto heel 😍

[@sallyanndahl]

I don't know about that but he did do a song while he was with "Utopia" called "Swing to the Right"

[@JdWitr]

Todd is God ! 😊

[@thegood9]

Hmm...didn't realize he changed the lyrics for this song from the original record. Interesting.

[@DropAnchor1978]

@jsilence418 I guess a "hanger on" would not be constantly ASKED to tour with Todd and participate on his projects, so there goes that theory. I stand in awe of your history of listening to the "best players in many styles"...cue dramatic music! Utopia/Todd fans I am sure will attest to Kasim's bass and vocal chops, not choppers, so horse face or not, he need not worry. Now, if only J would be silent but something tells me nay!

[@addmelolz]

@zendog1971 Yes !!! wow!

[@reujack]

oh yes.
