We're often asked about the quality of particular shows, and it's difficult to answer these questions because we love them all! So we thought it would be a good idea to let the people who have seen these videos offer their help. When we feel that we have enough data to rate a particular video, we will put that information in its description to help future shoppers. We appreciate your helpful votes!

Click here to download a five minute (16 MB) video sampler of the show. Although the quality is far inferior to how the DVD-R will look, it does give you some idea of how amazing this show is. For best viewing, set your Windows Media Player screen to 100% (not full screen).
 
Notes: This is not an official release. When I first watched this video, I thought that it wouldn't be very enjoyable because the audio and video quality isn't great. By the end of the video I was shaking my head because it was the best Utopia concert I've ever seen! If you can tolerate imperfect video and audio, you are in for quite a treat. I've cleaned up the audio and video as much as possible from the original tape, making it better than the "generationed" video that some people have. The extended solos are amazing! And just check the track list!

Notes: This is not an official release. This show was recorded on 9/5/98 in Sausalito, California. Every Todd show is different, and he proved it once again at the Sausalito Art Festival. Todd and the audience had a great time on this warm, sunny September afternoon. Todd is (as usual) up to his hilarious hijinks throughout the video. The very popular "Hawking" ended this fine set. The video is sometimes bright and sometimes dark because of the sun playing games with the camera, but it's still a pleasure to watch. The audio is very good.

Notes: This is not an official release. The Tiki Tour came to the Odeon in Cleveland in June of 1999 and the town hasn't been the same since. Todd and his players enjoyed a fine night of music and chat, and now you can witness what happened. The video is very steady and good overall. The audio is also very good.

Notes: This is not an official release. Finally we have an excellent video from "The Individualist Tour." This show was recorded at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio, on 12/28/95. Although the camera is shaky at times, the video is clear and you feel like you're at the edge of the stage with superb close shots of Todd and the band! The sound quality is very good, although not soundboard quality. Todd is in a rock and roll frame of mind as he plays loads of electric guitar and not even one acoustic number! See Todd play a real drum kit during "Bang The Drum All Day." Watch Todd make and drink a hamster smoothie on stage! You'll see nearly two hours worth of Todd and the band (Jesse Gress, John Ferenzik, Larry Tagg, and Trey Sabatelli). It's great to see and hear these tunes again.

Notes: This is not an official release. Todd visits "The Edge" in Palo Alto, California, during his "Channel Surfing With TR" tour on 11/11/98. The sound is excellent and the video quality is excellent as well, except for occasional obstructions from the crowd. As an extra bonus, you get to see TR Connection's Roger Linder as the show's stenographer!

Notes: This is not an official release. Recorded on 10/23/01 at Ram's Head Tavern in Annapolis, MD, this DVD-R features excellent sound and video from the original tapes, and of course a great performance. The camera angle is from the side of the stage so you see the side of Todd, but it's still extremely enjoyable. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Notes: This is not an official release. Part one is original footage of Todd demonstrating the CD-I player and talking about the future of technology. Part two is Todd's wonderful performance in Boston in the winter of 1999. The video and audio are very clear, but there are a couple of times that the camera has a mind of its own and gives you an exciting image of the ground. But there is also a lot of great closeup video. Part three is Todd with the players from Liars performing more of a rock and roll set. The camera is steady but a bit distant - still very enjoyable, especially if you prefer rockin' Todd over balladeer Todd. Three more different glimpses into Todd's ever-evolving  career.

Notes: This is not an official release. Part one is some rare footage of a NWO show that features two songs not on the "Live In Cyberia" DVD. Part two contains some ultra-rare material. There's an unreleased song, lengthy interview clips,  footage of Todd jamming on guitar, a walk-through of the "Individualist" CD-ROM by Todd, and (this one's for the girls) video of Todd on the beach. Over 93 minutes of Todd-filled fun in all. And the quality is excellent! Part three is Todd's excellent appearance at Mountain Stage. The video quality and performance are both A+. This video is a must for all Todd fans.

Notes: This is not an official release. Here you have two shows from Todd's 1987 tour. Although both shows have similar set lists, it's amazing how different the shows are. The Fairmont Park show is outdoors with a large crowd, while the New George's concert is indoors and has a very intimate feeling. As usual, Todd's musicianship and banter are extremely entertaining throughout. The video quality of both shows is very good and the camera is nearly always steady. I believe a tripod was used to tape both shows. The audio quality is very good for the New George's show and good for the Fairmont park show.
 
$30 (2 DVD-R)  very low stock!
GrokGazer

This DVD was duplicated directly from a laserdisc, so the sound and video will be much higher quality than the VHS tape that we've all had for years.

From the back cover:

"To grok is to intuitively understand something completely and naturally without having to think about it. Scored with original sounds by Todd Rundgren, GrokGazer visually explores this concept as a work of beauty--a video concert of moving forms and colors that will help you feel more relaxed and harmonious. As with good music, you can experience it many times and still be inspired by it."

Notes: This is not an official release.

"Just One Victory" from a 1974 "In Concert"  television show is quite a gem. Although it's in black and white and the audio isn't very clear at times, it is incredible to see Todd Rundgren's original Utopia playing one of the classics. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The "Live Special" segment is a professionally-shot show that features Todd, Utopia, and the Hello People during the "Back To The Bars" era. Although there is some amazingly bad editing (songs chopped at awkward moments to keep the video at 60 minutes, I assume), if you ever wanted to see a show from this tour, this will do nicely. And if you ever wondered exactly what it was that the Hello People did during the show, this will enlighten you. Todd is in excellent form and the audio and video are very good.

Part three features two songs from the VH-1 show "New Visions Rock," hosted by Nile Rodgers.  Just Todd and an acoustic guitar with very intimate camera work. The audio and video are excellent.

Notes: This is not an official release. Recorded on 4/14/91, "Hammerjacks" is an essential video in every Todd fan's collection. Although the audio and video quality varies greatly throughout the recording,  there is no denying that Todd is "on" during this performance. It's truly amazing to watch two hours worth of Todd's talent and energy displayed in this video. Todd dances and gyrates through some of his most brilliant songs and with one of the finest bands he has ever assembled, which includes Larry Tagg and Prairie Prince. Again, there are audio and video flaws in this DVD-R, but it's easy to look past them when confronted with this awesome performance.

Notes: This is not an official release. For the first time on DVD, you can now own this wonderful TR show from B.B. King's in New York City. It was recorded on 7/23/01 in front of a very enthusiastic crowd. Todd gives a fine performance as usual, but what I found even more entertaining was Todd's hilarious banter with his fans. The video was taken with a hand-held camera, but the camera work, video and audio are all excellent. This is a superb show!

Notes: This is not an official release. Recorded with a hand-held camera in Stuart, Florida, on 3/27/99, this is a fun little video. With a bit of family chatter in the background at times (I think it adds to the outdoor festival atmosphere), you'll feel like you're right there in Florida on vactation watching your favorite artist giving a very fine performance.

Notes: This is not an official release. Finally! We have a pro-shot video from the legendary acappella tour. Although Todd plays a bit of guitar and piano, the backup for Todd on this tour was primarily delivered from his ensemble of extraordinary singers, including Kasim Sulton. This is a major rarity and I enjoy watching it immensely, however it's only fair to note that the video and audio quality suffers to various degrees throughout the show. I would compare it to Rockpalast in quality, or maybe a bit below that. It is definitely much better than Star Guitar Benefit.

Notes: This is not an official release. The video quality varies from excellent (B.B. King and Night Music) to very rough (Star Guitar Benefit). All of the video was transferred from the best sources available after painstaking searches. The performances are all incredible. "Parallel Lines" from Night Music is my absolute favorite TR performance ever.

Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell (Documentary)
In 1977, a little-known singer and actor with the unlikely name of Meat Loaf released a record called Bat out of Hell, and against all odds it became one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, elevating the former Marvin Lee Aday to rock superstardom. This documentary, produced for the VH-1 "Classic Albums" series, incorporated interviews and performance footage to show how Meat Loaf and his collaborators -- including songwriter Jim Steinman, producer Todd Rundgren, and vocalists Ellen Foley and Karla DeVito -- helped to craft a 30-million selling blockbuster. Songs include "Two out of Three Ain't Bad," "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," and "Bat out of Hell."

Dumb And Dumber
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels play the title roles (though viewers may find themselves debating which is which) in this genially low-brow comedy. Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) are two intellectually-challenged best friends who share an apartment so messy that gangsters aren't sure how to trash the place; the guys also have a certain problem (not difficult to understand) holding on to jobs. Lloyd is working as a limo driver in Rhode Island when he picks up a beautiful and wealthy woman named Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly) who is being taken to the airport. Lloyd immediately falls head over heels in love with Mary, and when she leaves a briefcase at the airport, he's determined to return it in hopes of impressing her. Lloyd isn't able to get aboard Mary's flight (though not for lack of trying). Harry has a van decorated to look like a dog (to promote his failing dog-grooming business), and the pair hop in the Poochmobile to find Mary in Aspen. What Lloyd and Harry don't know is that the briefcase is full of money, which Mary deliberately left at the airport as a ransom payment to save the life of her kidnapped husband. Incidentally, Lloyd's chipped front tooth happens to be real; while Jim Carrey had the injured tooth capped many years ago, he thought a broken smile would suit Lloyd's character and had the cap removed for the duration of filming.

Theremin - An Electronic Odyssey
Very few people would recognize the name of Leon Theremin (1896-1993) if it weren't for the electronic musical instrument he invented around 1918. Fans of the first Star Trek series will recognize its sounds, but it was used in orchestral compositions and movies quite extensively for many decades, and even played a role in the Brian Wilson's composition of the Beach Boys' hit Good Vibrations. However, this documentary shows that the inventor of the forerunner instrument in electronic music is a person whose life had a lot more to offer than that. He was called "the Soviet Edison," and was honored by Lenin before he went to work in the United States, where he developed the first electronic security system in the world for Sing-Sing Prison in upstate New York. He also was a pioneer in interracial relations, braving the strong disapproval of his peers to marry a black ballerina. He was kidnapped from the U.S. in 1938 on the orders of the vengeful and ever-paranoid Stalin, brought back to the U.S.S.R., charged with treason, and was sentenced to a gulag (forced-labor camp). However, when World War II rolled around, he was brought back into the mainstream and was put to work for the KGB, for whom he invented the first electronic "bug" for eavesdropping, for which he earned the Stalin Prize.
- Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

83 Minutes (Hi-Fi Stereo)
 
Notes: This video details the stranger-than-fiction story of the father of electronic music and his invention of the world's first electronic musical instrument. Included is footage from Theremin's classic movie scores (Spellbound, The Lost Weekend, and The Day The Earth Stood Still) as well as celebrity interviews with Todd Rundgren, Robert Moog, Brian Wilson, and Theremin himself.
