5.0 out of 5 stars Utopia - Another Live, December 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Another Live (Audio CD)

Excellent music with selections unavailable anywhere else. The recording quality is not the greatest but the music overcomes. Concert was recorded at the Cape Cod Coliseum and was the result of a three hour show. The opening group Orchestra Luna failed to arrive and Todd stepped up to the task. If you are a Todd fan this is a "must have".

3.0 out of 5 stars wonderful music...horrible recording, October 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Another Live (Audio CD)

I had this recording in vinyl and have loved it for a long time. I sold all my albums years ago and have slowly replaced the best ones (I had a LOT of vinyl so it's taken a long time). I cannot recall whether the sound quality was particularly bad on the elpee. But this "remastered" version sounds like a bootleg, especially on the cover songs which had appeared on side 2 of the album. The mix is VERY spotty and uneven, and the sound is muddy in a lot of places. Perhaps Castle Records didn't have much to work with...after all, it's a 25 year old master tape of a live concert (not sure how much of a difference that makes). The CD is still worth having though, if only for the thrill (no kidding) of listening to the first three cuts. They are truly awesome.

Few musicians are as talented and complete as Todd Rundgren...he's a great vocalist, guitarist and composer as well as a visionary. None of his best songs sound the least bit dated (even though many are 25 or 30 years old) because they are so well crafted.

I'm actually still waiting to find this treasure on CD; however, I still spin this gem on my turntable! I was first liberated by Todd with the 1974 release of Todd Rundgren's Utopia. From instrumental challenges and goose bump-driving guitar solos to heart pounding piano stretches, this orchestration puts a visual choreography into one's mind while listening. The experimentation of synthesizers mixed with Todd's incredible guitar licks and progressions is taken to another level with the 1975 release of Todd Rundgren's Utopia Another Live. This album was so exciting that it should have hit Broadway, with Mr. Triscuits and Something's Coming. Heavy Metal Kids is signature Todd Rundgren, and remains my favorite to this day! If you like(d) Todd's music from this era, you might also like Yes's Relayer from the same period (1974).
