Video Test kit 1978

ive posted this before, long ago. So here is a repost of the 1978 Video press kit. Todd created this to show off his new Video studio. todd built the studio with the money he earned from the Meatloaf album Bat out of hell.

  1. Bean dancing...awww!

    I think this was my favorite Todd era--he looked so good, his music was so poetic and beautiful. Not into the violent bitter songs that came later.

  2. I wish Rockpalast would release their Ra footage-I missed that tour, and I'm thinking that the Ra set may be a bit much for RR B-Day bash 2011....

  3. Addressing anyone who feels like
    Anonymous ABOVE. Seems an odd perspective. Everyone is welcome to
    their opinion ~ The reasoning is faulty at best.Hiroshima might be misconstrued as a violent bitter song. Strikes me as very purposful
    and beautiful, as it's an artistic expression of horror & warning. It comes from this era when 'he looked
    so good'. We're all maturedsince 78
    physically. Todd has never lost his mental edge or poetic approach.

    His output may scan better if seen as novels. Well drawn charicters & aspects of life's experience. The over-riding sense of all TR music is HOPE. Last Ride - Sons of 1984
    Tables Will Turn - Womans' World
    AND more humor throughout to balance the abrasive. After all he's only human & it don't help to panic !

  4. Anonymous ONE, if you are still listening after your favorite ERA
    Simply make your own GreatestHITS
    CD & leave it at that. Be nice to me & Blue Orphious,Etc. Take along
    Courage & forget Bleeding. There has always been a wacky/wonderful
    WIDE~wavelength~ w.TR. If you cannot identify with certan TOONS
    You've likely led a very charmed
    life, or are only looking for
    the less complicated mix. Where does the time go ?

  5. The albums as novels idea makes sence. Each song a chapter. Not always ment to be linear,but tied up in the end with Just One Victory
    Mighty Love,Love My Life,The Surf Talks,Fever Broke,etc. Can't ANON-
    ONE see Everybody else is wrong &
    Love is the answer ?
