Todd Rundgren�s Utopia
Akron Civic Theatre
Akron Ohio
March 23 1974

Audience (1st generation copy off original Master Cassettes)

This more complete version was previously lost somehow from our vaults. We got a very good replacement for it through new trade. The original Taper still
wishes to remain unidentified, but this taping is proposed to be 1st Generation copy off the Master cassettes. Same audience recording that was offered
incompletely as Bootleg LPs/CDs 'A Wizard/A Utopia Star'(very muddy audio) decades ago, but this original one much pleasantly clearer, and pretty much the
complete performance ('Just One Victory'- probably the final encore tune, is missing and wasn't recorded). AND A COMPLETE 'IKON' HERE (all 41 mins)! A couple
of tiny skips in 'Ikon', but hardly noticeable. We did some pitch/tempo fixes, equalizing to balance out the channel levels and much of the bass distortion
is removed. But, there's still a lot that we left untouched (the treble edges especially)to preserve the integrity of the recording. It's one of the better
Spring 1974 shows we have. Vocals are very much up front on this one. Still some audience applause and clapping volumes are present (but that is what it is).
It is very far from perfect.This long over-due 'Revisit' to this age old audience recording is a ESSENTIAL 'must have' for the serious collector. The famous
Winter 1973/Spring 1974 Todd solo floor show (performing solo w/piano to taped accompaniment) and then the Todd Rundgren's Utopia six piece band in all it's
glory. Enjoy!~ Warren (http://trconnection.com/todd/arcd-r)
