Went to Moogy's ......... gig tonight on the Upper West Side.
The house was packed, as is the norm for his gigs, and he and his band,
The Moogy
Klingman Band, really got the crowd going with favorites
like "Undercover Man", "Coney Island" and "People of the World Against
War". There were a few quieter numbers as well -- "Millionaires and
Billionaires" and "Village Voices" were solo piano.
<<Moogy
Klingman's band hits the stage - the Cutting Room 11/25/06-
L to R, Moogy, Even, Aisha, Liberty
(hidden), Julie, and Jim>>
My favorite of his songs, though, is the 9/11 one -- "Have You Seen My Brother?" It's a really great song that manages to tug at your heart without being maudlin, yet also expresses beautifully what it was like to be a New Yorker right after the Twin Towers went down and so many people were unaccounted for. (One of my own friends was missing for a while but had luckily been evacuated to New Jersey from Battery Park after she escaped the Towers' fall.) <<The Moogy Klingman band rocks the nite away>> Ian Lloyd of the band Stories joined Moogy at the piano during the first set for a duet version of "Only the Outlaws are Free" -- one of several Moogy classics with a political tone, like "Undercover Man" and "People of the World Against War". 
<<On
"Undercover Man", Moogy pretends to be in handcuffs
as
he acts out the story of a guy caught by undercover cops.>>
The first set was finished off with the ever-popular
"Utopia Theme", a nod to Moogy's being one of the founding members of
Todd Rundgren's "Utopia".
<<Ian Lloyd's Stories w/Moogy and Aisha sitting in at the Cutting Room>> One of the highlights of the evening though was when Moogy's son Georgie joined his papa on stage with the band and other singers to sing one of Moogy's biggest hits, "You Gotta Have Friends". He looked absolutely adorable as he sang and danced for the crowd, who all joined in on the song  <<"You Gotta Have Friends" - that Buzzy/Moogy written classic! sung by Buzzy Lindhart, Moogy Klingman and his son, George!>> From the 8/05/05 issue of New
York Press by A.D. Amorosi
(annoucing a Moogy gig at the Cutting
Room)
"Moogy, a cabaret
soulful performer, who's written and produced many an early Bette
Midler session and joined Todd Rundgren for the earliest albums of
Utopia: his often delirious many membered Mahavishnu prog-glamapalooza.
This was after
Klingman (a megasessioner with Dylan, CSN, etc.) had already worked as
a member of the Vagrants, the toast of Long Island soul rock
...........Good times are here again"

Moogy Klingman Band – 11.25.2006, The Cutting Room, NYC a review by Nicole Goldsmith
Moogy is so many things at once, its hard to believe it all exists on one stage. With his refreshing, well-polished song-writing, his formidable and smooth voice and his tremendous playing, Moogy took us all for a ride through the blues, rock and roll, political musings, 80's ballads, and back to the blues again. Moogy displayed thundering piano moves alongside his five-piece band that included drummer Liberty Devitto, Bassist Even Steven Levee, guitarist Jim Satten and singers Julie Eigenberg and Aisha Hinton. Moogy's songwriting never disappoints. Kicking off the show with his signature blues style songs with impressive solos he instantly reminds the packed audience why they love the blues. Harmony-heavy, crowd-pleaser, You Gotta Have Friends sounded just as fresh as any of his newer material. His delicate somber storytelling of September 11th inspired events, beautifully woven through the voices of Moogy, Julie and Aisha, was perfectly performed. Moogy's performances are filled with instrumental genius, lots of live energy and of course, the blues.

Discoveries Magazine writes in January 2004 in reviewing three of
Moogy's CD's ("Glitterhouse", "Freak Parade" and "Music from Free
Creek") wrote: "....The brilliant, multi-faceted keyboard playing of
Klingman connects the 60's rock of Glitterhouse to the bluesy jams of
Free Creek to the futuristic innovations of the Freak Parade..."
Listen to Axel Rose and Guns 'n' Roses sing Moogy Klingman's song Dust in the Wind http://users.skynet.be/rockofages/Moogyklingman/ Hey Gang!! Check this new web page! It was done by a fan/friend named Eddy and it the most complete look (with album and singles covers to boot) ever done on my musical history. Thanks mucho to Eddy. Moogy Moogy Music remembers John Siomos (1948 - 2004) who was a good friend and one of America's greatest rock drummers. 
Bob Dylan and Bette Midler in Moogy's recording studio in 1975 -
working on Buckets of Rain, produced by Moogy Klingman and released on
the Moogy produced Bette Midler album, "Songs for the New Depression"

international movement to get these trax released!

In 1973, I was playing in a band
called "Moogy and the Rhythm Kings". A friend of mine named Todd
Rundgren asked me to form a band with him. It was to have a futuristic
vision and bringing most of the members of my band with me, we formed
"Utopia".
