TODD/UTOPIA AND RELATED ARTISTS ON CD-R

THIS IS A REFERENCE PLACE FOR BOOTLEG STUFF I HAD PRIOR TO 2008 ARENA TOUR. I AM NO LONGER COLLECTING/TRADING THIS STUFF IN ANY WAY AND THESE PAGES ARE NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF SAME. THANK YOU TO ALL OF THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED A LOT OF EFFORT TOWARDS THIS SCENE. IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH, YOU WILL FIND SOMEWHERE WHERE THIS IS GOING ON STILL-THERE ARE STILL THEIVES AND CRIMINALS AMONG US! WATCH OUT...IM HALF-JOKING, OF COURSE

FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW, ALL TODD, UTOPIA AND NAZZ ARE BANNED FROM DIME A DOZEN. THERE IS A LETTER FROM ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING TODD THREATENING LEGAL ACTION FOR ANY SUCH CONTENT. YOU CAN SEE IT AT THE SITE. I AM UNSURE ABOUT ANY OTHER PIER TO PIER PLACE WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING. ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE...AT THE REQUEST OF THE ARTIST (AS THE LETTER STATES). AT THIS POINT, I NEED NO MORE INFORMATION OR CLUES TO SOLVE MY PUZZLE, SO TO SPEAK. ITS AMAZING HOW HARD HEADED YOU CAN GET ABOUT STUFF SOMETIMES. ITS MY TIME TO GET OUT.

IF YOU ARE AS BEWILDERED/PUZZLED BY THIS MOVE AS I AM, TAKE COMFORT TO KNOW THAT MOST MODERN ARTISTS (WELL ABOVE 80%) WOULD LOVE YOU TO CARE ENOUGH TO TAPE/BOOTLEG THEIR MUSIC. MOST NEW BANDS KNOW THE VALUE. ITS ONLY WHEN YOU SET THINGS UP BACK TO BACK AND GET THE DIFFERENCE FROM NIGHT TO NIGHT THAT YOU "GET IT"-THOSE WHO KNOW KNOW THAT THIS IS WHERE THE REAL LIFE IS. UNLESS YOURE SELLING A PRODUCT LIKE BUBBLEGUM, ETC. (OR A TOP 40 ARTIST WHERE ONE SHOW IS THE SAME TAPE EACH NIGHT) MOST OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS ARE INTO COMMUNICATION, NOT SO MUCH DICTATION IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH ALL ASPECTS OF THINGS. WHATVER HAPPENED (MONEY PROBABLY) TO LOSE THIS HERE, THERES ALWAYS OTHER SCENES INTO IT. IVE HEARD THEY ARE DOING WEBCASTS AND CHARGING FOR AWATS 09..FUCKING FINALLY THE LIGHT GOES OFF!!...I DONT KNOW BUT IT WAS PROBABLY DOUGS IDEA..THANK GOD FOR DOUG FORD-YOU SHOULD ALL KISS HIS FEET FOR ALL HE'S DONE..I MEAN THAT SINCERELY

BEFORE YOU EMAIL ME ABOUT IT, I AM SORRY BUT I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO COPY ANYTHING FOR ANY REASON AND I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE SAME REASONS. I AM NOT CONTINUING THIS ON THE SLY OR ANYTHING..I AM SINCERELY DONE-ONE DAY MAYBE ILL GET MY SHIT TOGETHER AND AUCTION OFF MY COLLECTION FOR CHARITY OR SOMETHING...AND IF THERES ANYONE OUT THERE WHO WANTS TO WORK A BIT, I STILL HAVE HOURS OF TR VIDEO THAT HASNT SEEN THE MODERN LIGHT OF DAY IN VHS FORMAT-(DRYING UP AS WE SPEAK). IF SOMEONE REALLY WILL USE IT, ITS YOURS

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS OF APPRECIATION. AGAIN, I THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS INVOLVED OR KNEW ME THROUGH THIS WHOLE SCENE. I HAD A LOT OF FUN.

Date	Title	Source	Time
1972	THE TODD RUNDGREN RADIO SHOW THE OUT OF PRINT COLLECTORS ITEM/PROMO ONLY.	MASTER SOURCE	60:06
Track List:NO TRACKS JUST THE WHOLE PROGRAM IN ONE TRACK. Note:from the master cd (in box set) ESSENTIAL
1972	SOMETHING/ANYTHING STACK O' TRACKS (FORMERLY CALLED THE S/A/ ACETATE)	PUPORTED TO BE AN ACETATE (CLEANED AND EDITED IN PLACES)	40:45
Track List:I Saw The Light. It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference. Wolfman Jack. Cold Morning Light. It Takes Two To Tango. Sweeter Memories. Breathless. The Night The Carousel Burnt Down. Saving Grace. Marlene. Song Of The Viking. I Went To The Mirror. (All tracks without lead vocal tracks) Note:this is odd. it sounds odd. almost feels like it could be one of those machines that takes out the lead voc on records ..but in later places it sounds like an acetate. you can hear the lead vocals are there but mixed way low in places. it is interesting to hear the instruments alone and what a masterful job todd did on the tracks (thats why i called it stack o' tracks, you brian heads out there know what i mean). but it is record one only. this is truly a treat for those who wish to tackle tr's songs karaoke style..awlright! this is really a new one on me and i have only recently (11/99) even heard of it being around....from japan.. sound is super..
1972	THE BEANS (EARLY TUBES)	SDBD OLD- (THRU MARK LUCYK)	42:58
Date Added:10/6/2001 Track List:UNKNOWN TITLES. Note:a historical piece for tubes fans that i dont know much about. Band included spooner, anderson, welnick) not bad-it shows that this band was also stuck in the same rock thing that many bar bands were at the time. Interesting and totally different than tubes. If anyone knows anything-please speak or hold your........hard to describe this-groove oriented grown out of santana/dead-think its vinnie singing.
1972	HALFNELSON (LATER TO BE SPARKS)	JAPANESE CD OUT OF PRINT (ROGER STEEL)	40:29
Date Added:11/12/2002 Track List:WONDER GIRL. FA LA FA LEE. ROGER. HIGH C. FLETCHER HONERAMA. SIMPLE BALLET. SLOWBOAT. BIOLOGY 2. SACCHARIN AND THE WAR. BIG BANDS. (NO MORE) MR NICE GUYS. Note:this is about as eccentric of a project that tr has been involved with and that, you know, is saying a lot. if youve ever heard sparks before imagine the quirkier side mixed with early todd production and youve got the idea. great ideas, vocals all over the map and its really a wonder these guys got signed.. thanks to roger we have access again to this important piece of early todd production work..it is doubtful if itll ever see the light of day again on cd, but if it does tell me and ill remove this....this is out there..but cool..hey im a wesley willis/beefheart/wildman ficher/jandak fan...so i dig it..thanks again to rog.
1972	SOMETHING/ANYTHING 2 CDS FROM REEL TO REEL	MOJO TRANS FROM REEL TO CDR	43:46/45:58
Date Added:11/13/2006 Track List:WHOLE OF S/A FROM REEL TO REEL Note:thanks again to mojo and mr gauss for getting this in here. even more diffs in this than awats, great to hear this one again-the reel version sounds diff on almost every tune, not enough to pronounce this is a new version but the diff is more than subtle on these 2. great find!
1972	TUBES LIVE? (PHOENIX AREA?)	OLD AUD? (GIL)	62:39
Date Added:12/26/2006 Track List:MORE TROUBLE EVERY DAY>KING KONG (ZAPPA TUNES). UNKNOWN. RAWHIDE. UNKNOWN (MOUNTAIN?). TUMBLEWEED. EL PASO. POLAND HOLE. UNKNOWN (JAMES BROWN SOUNDING TUNE). LETS DO IT. I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU. REMEMBER (WALKING IN THE SAND).DO YOU WANNA DANCE? Note:sound is patchy-what you would expect from a 72 audie but you can hear the band well and the crowd is into it....i know this is an important find for sure-here the tubes are a bar band...doing zappa, nice fun pop singles, fee doing his cowboy fee thang....i have to say that steen and co do not play king kong correctly but just to try to tackle it in 72 was acheivement enough-im sure few in the audience caught the error...arrangemenst at this point were at abar band level and that is where the stride took place between this and 74 when they moved/got signed in SF...like high school pics, folks!
5/72	TAMPA CURTIS HIXON HALL AND BOSTON AQUARIAN THEATER	AUDIENCE SOURCE	67:58
Track List:TAMPA (5/72): OUTSIDE LOVE. BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. PISS AARON. I SAW THE LIGHT. BLAZE. GEORGIA SWING. SLUT. BOSTON (5/18/72): BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. PISS AARON.

Track List:BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. GEORGIA SWING. OUTSIDE LOVE. PISS AARON. A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER. I SAW THE LIGHT. IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. CREEGO. UNKNOWN HELLO PEOPLE SONG. HEH BLAZE. LADY ON A TERRACE. SLUT. Note:from the widely bootlegged cd. ESSENTIAL
6/72	NEW YORK CITY RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL (W/ HELLO PEOPLE)	AUDIENCE (NYC, CLAPTON, VOTER ADS FROM LARRY CLARK; ADS FROM JON RISEN)	54:35
Date Added:12/26/2001 Track List:BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED. PISS AARON. IT WOULDNT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. I SAW THE LIGHT. LADY ON A TERRACE. GEORGIA SWING. SLUT. WOLFMAN JACK BONUS TRACKS: 7/13/74 TR W/CLAPTON NYC MSG "LITTLE QUEENIE". TR VOTER REGISTRATION RADIO AD 72. TR W/FLO AND EDDIE VOTER REGISTRATION RADIO ADS 72 (2). S/A RADIO ADS (2). AWATS RADIO AD. INITIATION RADIO AD. RA RADIO ADS (2). OOPS WRONG PLANET RADIO AD. HERMIT OF MINK HOLLOW RADIO AD. Note:this is a clear upgrade from the version before however-dont expect superb sound-this is an old one. The sound does warble as it did on the old one around slut and gets really bad on wolfman jack. I made s decision to leave on wolfman jack so to show that they did do that one but its really shakey cause it sounds like a one off..is this why we havent ever seen the video they shot of this show....? who knows?? Anyhow-the bonus tracks fill this out better the clapton piece was largely unknown in circles before larry had it..not much soundwise or musically (an encore chuck berry tune) but it shows that tr could keep important company at times (when he allowed himself to)in the mid 70s. The ads were a project of jon's-if you have more-ill get em to him. The voter ads are special warner bros artists things produced in the 70s when being cool mattered.-all 3 of these are pretty cool.
