TODD RUNDGREN / UTOPIA - PARK WEST, CHICAGO, IL. 5-30 84

[@billweidner3868]

I was at the Utopia / Tubes concert some years ago . After the show we all went to the METRO in Chicago . Where we had the pleasure of partying with Todd his wife the rest of the band members and the group The Tubes . It's a night that is instilled in our memories for years to come .

Oblivion was such an unappreciated album. And yes I did call it an album. Not a digital upload. Miss those days.

[@chrispaulsin1790]

[@upracer9311]

Thank you!!!!!

Wow this a party setlist. No "Maybe I Could Change" or "I Will Wait," two highlights of this era. Not that I'm complaining with this roster.

[@gavinwieland3707]

This is the best. I love "Itch In My Brain" from Oblivion.

[@jasondotson]

This sounds insane! Thanks so much sharing..... I saw Todd & Utopia at Poplar Creek in 85 or 86??? I must've been all of 10 or 11! :)

[@shoshishararecordingsshosh1501]

I was there.

[@Rickberg1966]

Crybaby, one of the Best Songs Ever

[@chrispaulsin1790]

Sorry, it sounds great! Saw them the night before.

[@chrispaulsin1790]

I saw them the night before this show they were great! This is not from soundboard, aired on the loop.

[@mojorisen74]

+Chris Paulsin This is from the master reel the radio station recorded in the remote truck before it hit the airwaves. I used to have the broadcast from the radio and it's heavily compressed unlike this one.

[@andrewgillis8572]

somebody mixes FOH for Todd and what a gig considering how much the bandleader knows about the topic - just as awesome would be to mix McLaughlin

[@WilUnabridged]

You can tell this is the sound board! Great stuff here. Some songs feel extra fast than the studio versions. Do you have copy of the deface the music tour? UTOPIA new years eve shows. Or the AWATS opening set? Thanks f

[@mojorisen74]

Wil d They were definitely edgier during this tour, songs were faster and rocked harder.

[@susanmorales9405]

Also the oblivion tour from the pier in nyc was much better. Iwas at that one :)

[@susanmorales9405]

The show on the king biscuit flour hour from the chance in poughkeepsie ny is a much better show. Todd and kaz vocals on this are BAD

[@mojorisen74]

This is the start of when Todd started having vocal issues. He was straining quite a bit from 84 till 88. Supposedly Michele gave him some vocal tips and he hasnt had any issues like that since.

[@patrickthometz6365]

Hell yeah it was!

[@champ1061]

I am digging the rawness!
