The Utopia Reunion Audio Rip


I was going to say, "As promised, here is the audio rip from the big Utopia reunion pay per view filmed at the Highline Ballroom in NYC, on January 30th, 2011," but I don't remember promising anything. So instead, here is the audio rip from the big Utopia reunion pay per view filmed at the Highline Ballroom in NYC, on January 30th, 2011.

I realize this may be a hard sell to some not quite as insane as I am, but I know you crazies are out there. This is for you. As for the rest of you wonderful people, there are more than a few moments worth your time. I promise. It is indeed, not without flaws, but as reunions go, no one on that stage needs to hide their heads.

Don't forget to say hi to Moogy. I mean, that's the whole point.

    Very nice, thank you!
    If you can hear them sing, "We may be losing now, but we can't stop trying," without the hair on the back of your neck standing on end, you are officially not human.

    Do Ya and Set Me Free?

    I was never a Utopia fan, and obviously never saw them back in the day (except maybe on teebee) but I'll have to give this a listen just for the above.

    Just to hear "Friends" would have been worth the price of admission. God bless Moogy and Buzzy, and thank you Sal!

    I'm more of a Todd fan than a Utopia fan but there are a lot of great Todd moments on this. Thanks so much.

    I've not been around for a week or two.

    I'm surprised you've mentioned Todd Rundgren Sal.

    Is this a new direction?

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! Been a "toddfan" since first hearing "nazz-nazz" back in the late 60's. Living in Kansas, I couldn't make the show, so getting to hear this will be a treat, indeed!

    Did I say "THANK YOU SO MUCH"???

    I MEAN it!

    Thanks!

    Thanks a million for this! Todd is my favourite musician and this show was so very special, not just because it was in support of Moogy Klingman, but because those musos haven't polayed together, or played this material, for so long. Todd rules!

    Delighted to have caught this wee download. It was the date that drew my attention...saw Utopia in Glasgow 30 Jan 1977 the RA tour... soooo Perb!! Then had to get up with a hallucinatory (?) hangover the next morning and go to school.

    Well I obviously did see them back in the day, as much as possible ... the reunion was thrilling, I know I could be dreaming, get off the sidewalk!
