I was at this concert with my bandmates and I remembered when he asked us all to sing and be part of his recording. Their is a photo on his album showing the audience at Central Park. The best of times.

I was there, kind of. I was a kid staying at the Essex House in NYC with my family. Me and my brother took a walk with my older brother-in-law and heard the music while walking near the park. My BIL was trying to single handedly stop crime in the park (LOL). We saw someone trying to steal a motorcycle. He told the guy it was his friend's and he should be back any minute. We stood there for a while and then I am sure they stole it after we left. Anyway, I remember hearing the Utopia Theme.

Christ! Lost footage of a live event that was a distant myth for me at the time, age 17 in the UK, handling the vinyl LP that resulted. Reading the names of those on the innervsleeve and imaging the audience participation. Magic memory. Was that Utopia number being debuted? I hear now a Mahavishnu influence in Todd's furious guitar sound.

Wasn’t this the Wilmen Rink concert where they took the photo of the audience and put it on the rear cover of the Todd album? My older brother was there dead center.

@TheGB1950 11 ай бұрын

I think so Wollman Rink 1973 (Rundgren recorded this live at a free concert he set up at Wollman Rink in Central Park on August 25, 1973, and used the audience to create the choir. The concertgoers were given lyric sheets with the chorus and asked to sing along - Rundgren rehearsed them a few times and then did a few recordings. After getting what he needed for the song, he proceeded with the show. A photo from the event appears on the back cover of the album. The Central Park audience was used on the right channel in the mix during the chorus; the left channel is another audience from a similar concert Rundgren put on in San Francisco's Golden Gate park on September 9, 1973. This means when you listen to the song on headphones, you're hearing the West Coast crowd in your left ear and the East Coast in your right, a geographically accurate representation symbolic of the nation. The collective choir is credited as "The First United Church Of The Cosmic Smorgasbord.")

Actually Harrison passed it to Jackie Lomax. Todd purchased from Lomax for $500 along with the right to buy it back which he never did. I believe Rundgren auctioned it through Sotheby’s.
