Todd Rundgren emerged from the Philly music scene in 1967 with a pop band called The Nazz. Gradually, they moved in the direction of hard rock psychedelica, before splitting up, after three albums, in 1970. Rundgren, the band’s main singer, writer and lead guitarist, decided to pursue a solo career. He signed with Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin’s manager, Albert Grossman, and his just-formed new label, Bearsville. One music journalist who raved over each Rundgren release was future punk princess Patti Smith, who Rundgren would end up producing in 1979.
This vintage concert album from the master of high art rock, the briliant Todd Rundgren!
