Couldn't I just Tell You TRConnection has reviews and photos of this gig here.
Comments by fans posted to various messageboards and mailing lists include:
"I really enjoyed Kasim’s backing vocals from that close vantage point. Of course on Trapped Kasim shined, voice as sweet as ever."
"I noticed that the crowd’s reaction to the Arena songs was a little more muted than to the older favorites. Still strong, but the overall volume of the cheers was a little less."
"Many of the fans were familiar with Arena and responded enthusiastically to the Arena set. There were a few fans that were expecting more of Todd's "old favorites," and weren't familiar with the playlist, so most politely sat back and listened."
"Kasim seemed to be having a ball posing for pics and tossing out guitar picks."
"Kasim exchanged playful teasing with some of the younger crowd."
"The crowd was very enthusiastic as many left their seats to take positions in an open area about 30 feet in front of the stage."
"The band was nothing short of amazing. I felt they sounded much tighter and seemed more relaxed and enjoying themselves this time around."
