I saw Todd Rundgren with Utopia (Roger Powell on Synth!!!! Frickin'
amazing!!) many years ago on the "Ra" tour. Before the band ever came
out, Todd came out by himself with a Teac reel to reel, patted it and
said "Here's the band...", picked up an acoustic guitar, hit "play" on
the Teac, sat down on a stool and proceeded to kill everybody with the
most amazing version of "Hello It's Me" that you've ever heard.
No jumping around, no theatrics ... but damnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!! So see, you
∗can∗ play with tape and keep an entire stadium of folks happy!
Of course, the rest of the show was pretty wild too ...
