Hello It's Me
A Dream Goes on Forever

Comments by fans posted to various messageboards and mailing lists include:
"The venue is not a good place to see a show -- it was warm and the acoustics are lousy. Todd's voice is officially shot at this point. I actually wanted to leave near the end cause it was so bad but forced myself to stay."

"The schtick of counting into Hello It's Me seemed a bit forced but all did a good job with their acting abilities."

"Todd still seems to be struggling with a sore throat/cold or something and his voice seemed to be straining most of the night. Particularly when he needed to hit the high notes. Although it did, in my opinion, compliment one of the greatest screams in RnR history especially on the song Drive. But Todd definitely needs to be putting more of the Royal Ginseng Honey into some hot water to try and soothe the vocal cords."

"I once saw Todd comment on TEPTAE that he would go on to the point of dying onstage. I felt bad that it seemed he was trying to convey that was a possibility Wednesday night. And not only him but other members on the band as well. "

"Todd was able to make most of his ballads sound sweet with Hawking being a highlight for me. The other highlight of the night was when Kas joined Todd front and center for the leg kicking during Couldn't I Just Tell You. This brought back so many fond memories of some great nights going to Utopia concerts. Both Todd and Kas sported huge smiles as they did this."
