Buffalo Grass Determination Can We Still Be Friends? Espresso Love Is The Answer It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference Soul Brother I'm So Proud / Ooo Baby Baby / La La Means I Love You / I Want You Hawking I Saw The Light Drive Couldn't I Just Tell You? On stage with Todd were of Kasim Sulton (bass), Jesse Gress (guitar), Prairie Prince (drums) and John Frenzik (keyboards).
The venue (taken from the KasimInfo.com Blog that day):
Todd Rundgren, Kasim Sulton, Jesse Gress, Prairie Prince and John Frenzik are due on stage from 7pm until 8.10pm Japanese time but as that is from to 6am to 7.10am on Saturday morning New York time I thought it best to post this update today!
Yuzawa-machi, Niigata is about 3 hours north of Tokyo and is marked with the A on this map (Tokyo is shown by the letter B).
(Incidentially Yuzawa-machi, Niigata is 9,706 miles from Staten Island, NY and Google Maps believes that it would take 36 days and 8 hours to travel there by road including instruction #47 which is "Kayak across the Pacific Ocean!") The Fuji Rock Festival is a massive event in Japan and, although some fans expressed amazement that they are going all that way to play one (shortened) set, the festival attracts some big names. The festival this year lasts from Friday until Sunday and the acts include Artic Monkeys, Incubus and Cold Play. There are 13 stages at the festival and Todd will be playing on the Field Of Heaven stage just before Saturday's headliner Widespread Panic.
