Artist: UTOPIA
Album: LIVE IN BOSTON 1982 (DVD)

Release date: 2004
Media type: DVD

By 1982 Utopia was a fully homogeneous unit as they prepared to hit the road in support of their eponymous album release. The band's long affiliation with Bearsville Records had come to an end, and the group came up with a great batch of stripped down pop songs for their new label. The DVD includes a 90 minute full stage performances and 90 more minutes of completely new interview footage with all the band members.

Todd Rundgren trawled his Utopia archives to come up with this release, which illustrates all the power and poise the band possessed in the live arena. The band enjoyed a lengthy career, and with the charismatic, yet unpredictable, Rundgren at the helm, anything was possible at their shows! This one is culled from a 1982 performance, and includes a great overview of their ouvre up to that date. Tracks include "Libertine," "Princess of The Universe," "Say Yeah," and many others.
