Description
Experience the electrifying energy of Todd Rundgren’s Utopia as they take the stage for their first-ever UK concert, recorded live at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon in 1975. Officially released for the first time in 2012 by Floating World Records, this CD captures the band in peak form—balancing Rundgren’s melodic solo work with the group’s progressive rock firepower.
Remastered from the original BBC Rock Hour broadcast, this performance showcases Utopia’s early lineup: Todd Rundgren, Roger Powell, John Siegler, and Willie Wilcox. The setlist blends extended prog explorations with punchy pop gems, including a fiery cover of The Move’s “Do Ya” and a nod to Rundgren’s Nazz-era with “Open My Eyes.”
Whether you're a longtime fan or a collector of rare live recordings, this release is a must-have—raw, vibrant, and historically significant.
