3.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware, June 23, 2007

By	Dark Star-The Other One (The Bus To Never Ever Land) - See all my reviews

There are currently four different versions of this release circulating. The first came out in 2000 with a slip so you could get three extra songs and a Todd interview by downloading it from the King Bissuit web site and the enhanced cd took you right there. In 2001 JVC in Japan did a version called Live, that included a bonus song which was The Ikon/Freedom Fighters which was a download song. In 2002, this was released again but with the extra stuff on a bonus disc. In 2004 this was released yet again as the Best Of Todd Rundgren Live. This release is made up of three different shows, two of which had already been released. The 1978 show is Live in NYC '78 and the '85 show is A Cappella both of which are currently available in the box set Can't Sop Running. The 5/8/77 show is actually a Utopia concert and is were the bonus The Ikon/Freedom Fighters is from. This show is the best performed of the three. I really wish that they had just released that performance and bypassed everything else. If you're going to get this, make sure to contact the seller and that you get the two disc version like I have. If you can't find that, then go with the import with the bonus song.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like Opening a Time Capsule, December 14, 2008

By	Marshall T. Schwartzman "That '70s Guy" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This budget-priced CD is great for Todd fans who remember the Utopia shows in Central Park in the late 70s--for me they were an annual ritual of high school--and represents an affordable (albeit abbreviated) alternative to "Back to the Bars," which is rather expensive in CD form. It's worth the four bucks just to hear the 60s soul medley, which finds Todd in outstanding vocal form and puts his exhuberant, indelible stamp on Curtis Mayfield, Smokey Robinson, and the Delfonics. Longtime fans also will appreciate the stirring renditions of "Real Man" and "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference," two other reasons to buy this disc.
