I was 18 years old at the time this show aired, and had been a fan of Todd Rundgren and Utopia for just about eight months. I remember being surprised that Todd & Utopia were actually appearing on Mike Douglas's show. But then again, the show was based in Philly, which is close to where Todd grew up (Upper Darby, PA), so I guess that kind of explained things. I recall that Mike Douglas appeared to be quite fascinated by John "Willie" Wilcox's motorcycle-based drum kit. And there was an excellent performance of "Love is the Answer" by Utopia (from the "Oops! Wrong Planet" LP), which would soon be covered by England Dan and John Ford Cooley.
