Hawking TRConnection.com has some reviews and photos of this gig here.
Comments posted by fans on mailing lists and messageboards include:
"I think Todd may feel a bit more comfortable here, as well, because the performance was a little looser than the New Orleans show or the Northampton show. However, While the music may have slipped a little in the precision department it gained in the "heft" and emotion departments, making this show a "keeper"."
"What a difference two days can make! I read the reviews from the Alexandria, VA show and it appears that Todd's voice was a bit hoarse and the band didn't seem to be having much fun. Not so in New Haven!"
"Kasim's amazing "Trapped" performance. MAN it's great to hear that song again!"
"Todd's speaking voice may have been a little strained, but when it came time to sing he was mostly "right on". The band was smiling and laughing with each other throughout the show. I've seen more than twenty TR or Utopia shows over the years, and I can't remember ever seeing a performance when everyone (including Todd) was having so much fun."
"During our brief stint in the booth, several luminaries from the show made their way through the place, all smiles and friendly hellos. Kasim was especially gracious and charming, but then he always is. Whatever vitamins that guy is on, "I gotta get me some of those!""
"Trapped again gets the best response of the night. Otherwise a very strong set overall, no surprises."
"The good feelings carried over to the playing... the performance was excellent!"
"We all know that Jesse and Kasim are top notch musicians and it was apparent to everyone at this show. I thought I might be disappointed that Prairie Prince wasn't playing on this part of the tour, but Mike Urbano was the perfect substitute. The man can play!"
"The energy was high .. always great to hear Kaz sing on anything... such a unique voice."
"It's interesting that the set-list for this tour hasn't changed from night to night (other than the addition of "Trapped" in the later shows), so TR has been keeping the shows fresh with changes in his between-song banter."
"A well-received gig, many were wowed and appreciative, which was great to see on this last stop for this leg of the tour."
The venue (taken from the KasimInfo.com Blog that day):
Toad's Place has a very prestigous musical history as it's been open for 32 years and in that time as well as Todd Rundgren and Kasim Sulton, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, U2, The Kinks and Bob Dylan have all played here! Click here to view the venue webiste.
Tickets for the gig tonight are $25. Doors open at 8.00pm and the gig starts at 9.00pm.
This is the final gig on this leg of the tour but they will be back on stage in 29 days when the MidWest leg of the tour kicks off in Cleveland, Ohio!
