Review by Michele K:
Mystified. I didn’t take as many photos as I normally to, I was in awe of Jesse’s guitar playing, I never realized he could play so fast and that he can actual sing! Everyone around me was commenting on how smoking hot he was.

This show was one of the best Todd shows I have seen in the 40 years of seeing him. The banter of the evening was playful about our hip hop mayor who the city of Detroit is wanting to resign due to recent scandals in the news. The in your face guitar playing made me blush. After one song Todd tried to do a spin and the stage was so small he fell backwards onto an amp saved by Prairie. Kasim also agreed to push Todd back up should he fall his way.

Todd was high energy joking more than usual and dancing the night away. Despite the 56mph winds and single digit temperatures this venue was totally packed. I was highly impressed with all of Jesse’s guitar gear.

Thanks guys for coming to Mich-Again!

P.S. The merch girls couldn’t have been lovelier!

Comments posted by fans on mailing lists and messageboards include:
"Funny moment on the first song when Todd was running all over stage and fell back onto his line6 box and right on his ass* partially falling into Praries' drum kit, popped right back up to loud crowd laughter and applause!"

"About 260 Rundgren faithful braved frigid temperatures to catch a rare club performance tonight."

"Me being the Todd fan I am, I recognize and appreciate Kasim most for his thirty something years with Todd Rundgren and Todd’s band Utopia. Kasim has a palpable charismatic charm that could do serious damage to the female heart. His name should really be Kasim Sultry . . . because he oozes passion and sensuality. I admit, I was taken by his charm and talent, although I tried very hard to resist his hypnotizing eye contact. I won’t say whether or not my efforts worked."

"The band was tight throughout."
