Live At Chicago Theater | Reviving the Magic: Utopia's Epic Reunion of 32 Years! | Amplified 

I am a life long fan of Todd. I don’t think most people realise the musical perfection in his compositions. A true genius. Replicates the early 70’s Utopia sound perfectly. 10/10

Todd is in his seventies. Amazing.

I saw the show in Portland and was blown away. Whoever mixed this recording did a great job.

This is very well made and an absolute treasure! Thank you for uploading.

I was there. Good show. Last show I saw in Chicago before I retired and moved.

Been a Todd fan since 1970. Without a doubt, he is one of the most talented singer/songwriter/guitarists in the business. Truly A Wizard/A True Star. ❤

This show ---- EXCELLENT! Never thought I’d ever hear the early Utopia songs again. A dream really does go on forever. ☮️

Wow! Okay, I'm 57 years & been a serious musician for 40 years. Thought I'd heard most of the best quality progressive rock that was out there. Then I find this in my RU-vid suggestions. This music is REALLY IMPRESSIVE. Could somebody that's been into Mr. Rundgrens/Utopias music since the beginning suggest what albums to get please? This music is inspired & I'd like to get more familiar with the older stuff if it's anything like this. Thanks in advance for any help some of you long time fans can provide. ✌

Saw this show in New York at Town Hall. An emotional and thrilling night to finally see these guys back together again on stage. Saw them several times in the 80s.

Todd, Utopia absolutely amazing.

I was lucky enough to see the original line up of Willie Wilcox and Roger Powell with Todd & Kasim at Arcosonti north of Phoenix in the 70s....this takes me right back there....OMG!!! This is Todd/god stuff. Moogy RIP

I am gob struck!!! Brilliant as always!

Incredible band... Great tour... beautifully captured (for posterity) at the Chicago Theatre, during this historic reunion tour... most likely never to be repeated again. I was fortunate to be able catch the show on their tour stop in Phoenix, AZ thanks to my brother Sean.

Can’t stop love in action!

THE prog masterpiece. CITY IN MY HEAD. At the Fox Theater. ATL! Showed all the guys in King Crimson, and Yes, and Emerson Lake and Palmer that we could do a thing or two here in the good old US of A. Todd Rundgren - vocals, electric guitar Mark "Moogy" Klingman - keyboards, Hammond B-3 organ Ralph Schuckett - keyboards Jean Yves "M. Frog" Labat - synthesizer John Siegler - bass guitar, cello And The IKON!

I like that Kasim got plenty of lead vocal time. Excellent concert.

Phenomenal after all these years.

Love Todd, he's one of musical heroes, saw the Milwaukee date, thanks!

70 years old this week. Still yet, I’m at college, taking advantage of ‘things’ as an 18 year old. I’m back there! Thank you. Marvellous!!!

Todd's brand of progressive rock was always one of my favorite headphone excursions. So many great evenings cranking up The Utopia album and "Another Live," spectacular music.

Boy Willie is playing his butt off!! So good.

what a band! not many that harmonize like these gentleman!

Saw Utopia supporting Led Zeppelin at Knebworth way back in '79... I was truly amazed at how big a sound just four guys made - they blew me away & never heard of 'em before... since bought virtually all Todd's solo work & Utopia - been a huge fan ever since...

This is fantastic! I've been a fan of Todd \ Kasim \ Utopia since me and my bandmates were driving to see Styx live in 1978 and the drummer had just bought "Oops! Wrong planet!" and we listened to it over and over (and over...)

I saw this show and was blown away by the amount of energy that Todd expended to make this happen. Especially the first set with all the old Utopia tunes. So much guitar work on every tune. Truly amazing!

Another life!!! Probably my favorite song from this era of Utopia.

These are the types of artists that have a tight group of fans that come out for the concerts when they can. They know ALL the songs! Rush is another example.

I love the album Ra.

i did not relize i was listening to the start of fusion back in the 70s todd an utopia was just cool to be into, man i miss my teen yrs. peace

Saw them in 1977 with a large pyramid structure that Todd climbed and in Singring & The Glass Guitar, he threw the glass guitar to the ground and it smashed to pieces . They were dressed as ancient Egyptians. My teenage mind was blown.

Wow...really at 70. Arguably one of the great singer song writers of our generation. Incredible performance.

So many great songs. Not sure about The Wheel, but everything else is spot on. Been a Todd fan since 1948 😆🎶

I live in Chicago, in the city. I remember walking past the theater a couple of times, looking up at the sign, thinking it would be great to see Todd Rundgren. Thanks for this wonderful video. Next time, I’ll have to actually see him…live!

What a spectacular performance!! Now well into my eighth decade of life (and my 53rd year as a Todd devotee), I feel the electric thrill of this singularly talented musical genius even more than ever. I was especially ecstatic to see and hear Kasim's prodigious talents so prominently featured. (I remember commenting when he first joined Utopia, "That kid has some fabulous pipes!") . . . so great to hear his voice has held up so wonderfully.

What a great tour this was. Seems like yesterday. Thank you!

I was in the second row in Cleveland for the original tour in 1974. Can’t remember the theater but it was small. Blew me completely away! I had already bought the album which I still have 😊!

Kasim and Todd are a perfect pairing. So are Todd and Kasim. Just a reminder that this is a Lennon & McCartney - or McCartney & Lennon - pairing where both are great indivividually but together there is a higher level regardless of who is in the lead.

Kasim! ❤

What a pleasure to happen upon this treasure this evening! Thanks to Amplified. Long time fan.

The summer before I started college Oblivion came out and I listened to that LP every night laying in bed before I went to sleep. Amazing album still.

Somehow...Utopia Theme has my inner music lover standing at attention. It is uncanny. It's like all the sudden I was wholly capable of expressing the music I loved in my head being everything from King Crimson to The Ramones. In my dreams I was Todd in Utopia creating all of this blissful noise.

This tour was a blessing . Utopia has not lost a lick. WHAT AN AMAZING EVENING !!!❤❤❤❤

So rare we are not gifted with a compiled set list with timeline. Hint hint. Saw Utopia in the late 70's Atlanta's Southeastern Music Hall. A. Cooley's executive secretary (thankyou Janet) blessed me with ten passes for my birthday. Nine people in my life with no idea until we arrived. You could touch the band if you tried. By the way...this is tooo f'n fantastic !

I am a massive Todd/Utopia fan and have been so since 1974... This is lovely considering the original band was 6 members or something on Another Live. Miss Roger but the new guy is doing a wonderful job.

Saw Todd and the boys three times in 1982. In the basement of the Philly Civic Center, at Rutgers Camden, and at the Tower Theatre opening for the Tubes. All great shows that will live with me forever.

So good to hear that guitar again

The credits were wrong. It said, "Music written by Todd Rundgren" - what about Kasim?

I love Todd for his Musicianship. I don't entertain the thought of being in his circle. But I would like to see his studio.

Was in Dallas, with my kiddos. Wonderful show and venue. A Special Thanks to our Friend Mr. Kasim as always. See ya in Dallas in June. Thanks for the post!

Wow! Utopia Theme then long intro to The Ikon, which is a true prog masterpiece -- 30+ mins of extremely cohesive, theme-swirling beauty.

That was just great!!! Makes me happy.

Thank you. A fan since Runt.

Saw this show in Portland so freaking awesome, Todd is God!

This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing 😊

Very good performance. Complex music and beautiful close harmonies.

Fantastic reunion

Great show.....only thing missing is Roger! Saw them twice in the late 70's. Met Kaz, Todd and Roger.

still sound great.

Saw Todd tonight in El Cajon, CA. Great show!

That was a great show. Wish I was there

The Chicago Theater, perfect acoustic's.

Yeah! What a opener.. love it..

My first Utopia show was at the Roxy theatre on Sunset Blvd in the '80s. Don't remember the date but they played with the Hello People Band. Played Sunset Blvd! 😁Iconic!! Diggin'the Good Music here in Northern Alberta Canada 🇨🇦🥶❤️🎼🎵🎶

A great show! I saw Utopia a few times back in the day - overall saw Todd about 40 times… and that’s pretty low for a super TR fan like me. One time I saw Utopia during the Oblivion tour - so around ‘84 - at a goofy club outside of Baltimore… one where was a dance floor in front of the stage, and a bunch of tiers with niteclub type tables. My 1st wife and I walked to the dance floor, and spent the show pretty much by ourselves, 6 feet in front of the guys! It was so cool, but weird at the same time.

Just AWESOME.

Not a big lover of live concerts on record of video always feel you have to be there to get the atmosphere and usually the vocals are poor, but the vocals, musicianship and visuals are spot on with this show and shows Todd and the band are Wizzards and true stars But this is really good

1983’s self-titled is my favorite. Less proggy and more poppy perhaps, but matter. Brilliant. Funny, too. Uniquely released. It’s like 1&1/2 albums. Met Todd. Gotta signed copy. Sweet guy.

Great stuff! I gotta say though, I heard Kasim’s Utopia, which includes this keyboard player, and I like their upbeat tempo of The Ikon a lot more.

Wonderful, man.

😂😂This is hilarious😂 the crowd pounding down with there fists . These are hard wired Utopia fans for sure ❤❤❤❤

Great concert, However RU-vid's commercials have become so obnoxious - long form songs interrupted every two minutes by two 30 second commercials! Seriously RU-vid! Your level of abuse is inclining me to revert back to listening to CDs! Absolutely 🐂💩

Splendid! A lot of old favourite music. Kasim sings. Todd plays like a boss. The Batman theme (totally nicked from the Ra album. Faux Yes, Genesis. All Utopia. And West side Story. I wish I had been there.

Stunning absolute!!!

I miss Roger. But this is still great.

I saw Utopia in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in the early 70s. I'd been awake for 34 hours studying for and taking exams in college. And I did a hit of acid. It was quite an experience.

I have to go to another website to find out the date of the epic reunion concert? (Recorded Live at the Chicago Theatre May 22, 2018)

love IS the answer

Epic historical show... UTOPIA

Wonderfull Gill blends in perfectly. No Gill no Utopia.

Oops Wrong Planet was sooo intensively Utopia. ❤❤❤👏👏🎶✌🙏

Love you, Todd.

Wow! Absolutely brilliant, when did this reunion concert take place please?

“Oooops! Wrong planet” great album!

Todd is the consummate professional.

Must haves: adventures in Utopia, something anything, Ra, oops wrong Planet, Acapella, tortured artist effect,Back to the bars. Should get u started. Rock on

Willie is back from Gainesville, Florida

I like the cover of Jeff Lynn and The Electric Light Orchestra.

It’s amazing how underrated he is

SING IT WILLIE !!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

When discussing the best prog artists from the States, Kansas and Styx mostly come up first and second but I think Todd and Utopia deserve to be first (with Ambrosia a close 2nd; listen to their first 2 albums).

Brilliant!

Watched them record Utopia in the Fox. Blown away. RA Next, etc.

wow yea
