TR DVDs
| Utopia - Live In Central Park (DVD-R) | |
| 1. Crowd |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. When I first watched this video, I thought that it wouldn't be very enjoyable because the audio and video quality isn't great. By the end of the video I was shaking my head because it was the best Utopia concert I've ever seen! If you can tolerate imperfect video and audio, you are in for quite a treat. I've cleaned up the audio and video as much as possible from the original tape, making it better than the "generationed" video that some people have. The extended solos are amazing! And just check the track list! | |
| Someplace/Anywhere? Volume 6 (DVD-R) | |
| Part
1: Show Part 3: plus a little hidden bonus! |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. This one definitely has a Utopia feel to it. Part one takes us way back to Todd/Utopia's incredible performance on "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert." Part two features songs from the last Utopia show performed on U.S. soil. Part three is the historic reunion between Kevin Ellman (Utopia's original drummer) and Todd on "Power Lunch." | |

| Sausalito (DVD-R) | |
| 1. Love Of
The Common Man |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. This show was recorded on 9/5/98 in Sausalito, California. Every Todd show is different, and he proved it once again at the Sausalito Art Festival. Todd and the audience had a great time on this warm, sunny September afternoon. Todd is (as usual) up to his hilarious hijinks throughout the video. The very popular "Hawking" ended this fine set. The video is sometimes bright and sometimes dark because of the sun playing games with the camera, but it's still a pleasure to watch. The audio is very good. | |

| Tiki Tour Live (DVD-R) | |
| 1. I Saw
The Light |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. The Tiki Tour came to the Odeon in Cleveland in June of 1999 and the town hasn't been the same since. Todd and his players enjoyed a fine night of music and chat, and now you can witness what happened. The video is very steady and good overall. The audio is also very good. | |

| The Individualist Tour (DVD-R) | |
| 1. Woman's
World menu audio track - "If
Not Now, When?" from Live At The Sting In New Britain, CT (7/18/95)
2 CDr |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. Finally we have an excellent video from "The Individualist Tour." This show was recorded at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio, on 12/28/95. Although the camera is shaky at times, the video is clear and you feel like you're at the edge of the stage with superb close shots of Todd and the band! The sound quality is very good, although not soundboard quality. Todd is in a rock and roll frame of mind as he plays loads of electric guitar and not even one acoustic number! See Todd play a real drum kit during "Bang The Drum All Day." Watch Todd make and drink a hamster smoothie on stage! You'll see nearly two hours worth of Todd and the band (Jesse Gress, John Ferenzik, Larry Tagg, and Trey Sabatelli). It's great to see and hear these tunes again. | |
| When Worlds Collide - NWO2 (2 DVD-R) | |||
| 11/30/93 1. Ground Rules menu audio track - No World Order (Yokohama Morning Version) * beautiful 2-sided front and
back inserts in a CD jewel box |
2/03/94 1. Ground Rules menu audio track - No World Order (Yokohama Night Version) |
|
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. Here we have two wonderful shows from the NWO tour! Both shows feature outstanding performances from this amazing tour. The RPM and Vogue shows both have good to very good video. The RPM show has very good sound and the Vogue show has average to good sound (it varies throughout the show depending on the song). | |||
| Surfin' The Edge (DVD-R) | |
| 1. Intro |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. Todd visits "The Edge" in Palo Alto, California, during his "Channel Surfing With TR" tour on 11/11/98. The sound is excellent and the video quality is excellent as well, except for occasional obstructions from the crowd. As an extra bonus, you get to see TR Connection's Roger Linder as the show's stenographer! | |
| An Evening With Todd Rundgren (DVD-R) | |
| 1. Love Of
The Common Man |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. Recorded on 10/23/01 at Ram's Head Tavern in Annapolis, MD, this DVD-R features excellent sound and video from the original tapes, and of course a great performance. The camera angle is from the side of the stage so you see the side of Todd, but it's still extremely enjoyable. I don't think you'll be disappointed. | |
| Someplace/Anywhere? Volume 5 (DVD-R) | |
| Part
1: Part 3: plus a little hidden bonus! |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. Part one is original footage of Todd demonstrating the CD-I player and talking about the future of technology. Part two is Todd's wonderful performance in Boston in the winter of 1999. The video and audio are very clear, but there are a couple of times that the camera has a mind of its own and gives you an exciting image of the ground. But there is also a lot of great closeup video. Part three is Todd with the players from Liars performing more of a rock and roll set. The camera is steady but a bit distant - still very enjoyable, especially if you prefer rockin' Todd over balladeer Todd. Three more different glimpses into Todd's ever-evolving career. | |
| Someplace/Anywhere? Volume 4 (DVD-R) | |
| Part
1: Part 3: |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. Part one is some rare footage of a NWO show that features two songs not on the "Live In Cyberia" DVD. Part two contains some ultra-rare material. There's an unreleased song, lengthy interview clips, footage of Todd jamming on guitar, a walk-through of the "Individualist" CD-ROM by Todd, and (this one's for the girls) video of Todd on the beach. Over 93 minutes of Todd-filled fun in all. And the quality is excellent! Part three is Todd's excellent appearance at Mountain Stage. The video quality and performance are both A+. This video is a must for all Todd fans. | |

| Ringo's All-Starr Band - Live At The Beacon Theater (DVD-R) | ||
| 1. It
Don't Come Easy * 117 minutes |
|
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. Live from the Beacon Theater in NYC on 2/17/99, this all-starr lineup includes: Ringo Starr (vocals/drums), Todd Rundgren (guitar/vocals), Jack Bruce (bass/vocals), Gary Brooker (keyboards/vocals), Tim Capello (percussion/saxophone/keyboards), and Simon Kirke (drums/vocals). The video quality of this show is excellent and the camera is very steady. The audio quality is very good. | ||

| Notes: This is not an official release. Here you have two shows from Todd's 1987 tour. Although both shows have similar set lists, it's amazing how different the shows are. The Fairmont Park show is outdoors with a large crowd, while the New George's concert is indoors and has a very intimate feeling. As usual, Todd's musicianship and banter are extremely entertaining throughout. The video quality of both shows is very good and the camera is nearly always steady. I believe a tripod was used to tape both shows. The audio quality is very good for the New George's show and good for the Fairmont park show. | ||

| This DVD
was duplicated directly from a laserdisc, so the sound and video will
be much higher quality than the VHS tape that we've all had for years. |

| Someplace/Anywhere? Volume 3 | |
| Part
1: |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. The Musicourt video features various artists, including all of Utopia. Todd is the master of ceremonies and plays a guitar solo on most songs. | |

|
|
| Notes: This is not
an official release. This video was recorded at the Mohegan Sun Casino,
Uncasville, CT, on 7/10/01. The video and audio quality is fair. I would
say that it's about equal to "Hammerjacks." This DVD was mastered from
the original video. Lineup: Todd Rundgren, John Entwistle, Alan Parsons, Ann Wilson, David Pack, and others. |
||
| Someplace/Anywhere? Volume 2 | |
Part 1: menu audio track - "Maybe I Could Change" from the only time TR was recorded playing this song - Live At Headliner's In Madison, WI (12/1/83) 2 CDR * beautiful 2-sided front and
back inserts in a CD jewel box |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. "Just One Victory" from a 1974 "In Concert" television
show is quite a gem. Although it's in black and white and the audio
isn't very clear at times, it is incredible to see Todd Rundgren's original
Utopia playing one of the classics. I don't think you'll be disappointed. |
|
| Hammerjacks | |
| 1.
Love Science |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. Recorded on 4/14/91, "Hammerjacks" is an essential video in every Todd fan's collection. Although the audio and video quality varies greatly throughout the recording, there is no denying that Todd is "on" during this performance. It's truly amazing to watch two hours worth of Todd's talent and energy displayed in this video. Todd dances and gyrates through some of his most brilliant songs and with one of the finest bands he has ever assembled, which includes Larry Tagg and Prairie Prince. Again, there are audio and video flaws in this DVD-R, but it's easy to look past them when confronted with this awesome performance. | |
| B.B. King's | |
1. Hammer In
My Heart |
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. For the first time on DVD, you can now own this wonderful TR show from B.B. King's in New York City. It was recorded on 7/23/01 in front of a very enthusiastic crowd. Todd gives a fine performance as usual, but what I found even more entertaining was Todd's hilarious banter with his fans. The video was taken with a hand-held camera, but the camera work, video and audio are all excellent. This is a superb show! | |
| Live In Stuart | ||
1. Love Of The Common Man |
|
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. Recorded with a hand-held camera in Stuart, Florida, on 3/27/99, this is a fun little video. With a bit of family chatter in the background at times (I think it adds to the outdoor festival atmosphere), you'll feel like you're right there in Florida on vactation watching your favorite artist giving a very fine performance. | ||

Something To Fall Back On * beautiful 2-sided front and back inserts in a CD jewel box * region free * 64 minutes |
|
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. Finally! We have a pro-shot video from the legendary acappella tour. Although Todd plays a bit of guitar and piano, the backup for Todd on this tour was primarily delivered from his ensemble of extraordinary singers, including Kasim Sulton. This is a major rarity and I enjoy watching it immensely, however it's only fair to note that the video and audio quality suffers to various degrees throughout the show. I would compare it to Rockpalast in quality, or maybe a bit below that. It is definitely much better than Star Guitar Benefit. | ||

2: |
|
|
| Notes: This is not an official release. The video quality varies from excellent (B.B. King and Night Music) to very rough (Star Guitar Benefit). All of the video was transferred from the best sources available after painstaking searches. The performances are all incredible. "Parallel Lines" from Night Music is my absolute favorite TR performance ever. | ||

|
| Notes: This is the same video that was given away to Patronet subscribers a few years ago, but in many cases it was never actually received. Occasionally up for bid on eBay, the VHS version sells for over $70. This is your chance to get it on DVD-R in absolutely perfect quality for much less! | |
