Utopia – Todd Rundgren’s Utopia

Description

Rundgren (who was primarily a pop musician at the time) had decided to delve into progressive rock. Putting together several musicians, including three keyboardists, the album covers a variety of styles including funk, jazz, classical and even avant-garde music. The title track, the only live performance on the album, is culled from the band’s seminal April 25th 1974 performance at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia.

The album sold extremely well, peaking at #34 on the Billboard charts.
