Click here to view a video of Kasim Sulton playing Libertine at this gig. Playing on stage with Kasim for that song (and Are You Happy Now) were Fernando Perdomo (Dreaming In Stereo), Roger Houdaille (Ex Norwegian) and Derek Cintron (DC3).
Apparently Fernando Perdomo is a big Utopia fan - he describes playing on stage with Kasim as "a once in a lifetime experience"!

The venue (taken from the KasimInfo.com Blog that day):
Kasim Sulton venue - Tobacco Road, Miami Tonight Kasim Sulton is playing a solo gig at Tobacco Road in Miami, Florida. This gig has been slotted in between him playing with Todd Rundgren in Fort Lauderdale, FL last night and Clearwater, FL tomorrow night.

Tobacco Road is listed as "Miami's oldest restaurant" as it opened in 1912. The address of the venue is 626 South Miami Avenue, Miami, 33130.

This venue has had quite a colorful history as during the 19’20s it was a speakeasy and gambling hall for bookmakers and racketeers and during Prohibition became a secret hideaway where bootleggers stored and sold their booze. (Apparently Al Capone was said to be one of its regular patrons!) In the 1940s it was a gay bar where some of the country's top female impersonators were said to have performed and after operating as a regular bar during the 1950s and 1960s, it was transformed into a strip joint in the 1970s. Until 1990 Tobacco Road was one of only a few bars open on the south side of the Miami River.

Other acts on the bill tonight are Dreaming In Stereo, Mongo, Ex Norwegian and Robert Goodman Band. It appears that Kasim is the headline act and is described as "Pop Music Legend Kasim Sulton of Todd Rundgren, Utopia, Meat Loaf, The New Cars and many other notable projects"!

Apparently the whole event lasts from 9.00pm until 2.00am and costs only $5 (21s and over only). There is no link to purchase tickets but they will be available on the door. It is not known yet what time Kasim will take the stage.
