Real Man Love Of The Common Man Buffalo Grass Kind Hearted Woman Determination Love Is The Answer I'm So Proud / Ooo Baby Baby / La La Means I Love You / I Want You I Saw The Light Drive Couldn't I Just Tell You? Hello It's Me "Todd was in good form at the Philadelphia Folk Festival. The PFF is a folk festival which has been held for the last 52 years. It is amazing that this was TR's first appearance at this fest. TR did mention that he had attended the PFF in his youth." "TR was a crowd pleaser, his voice was a little rough in the high range but being the consummate performer TR did what was necessary to compensate." "In an unusual move TR was allowed to perform an encore. The PFF is a tightly booked event which allows no time for encores, but after TR left the stage the crowd demanded an encore. The stage announced (Gene Shay, who has been the announcer for all 52 years,"congrats") tried to discourage an encore but it was to no avail. TR came back for an encore." "The band after Todd was a group called In the Pocket which is composed of local Philadelphia artists who perform songs identified with Philly. Since "Open My Eyes' was on their set list TR joined them on stage and played guitar and took the lead vocal."

This will be Kasim's final gig as part of Todd Rundgren's band for about 10 days as they go to Japan to play gigs based on his State album. Instead Kasim will play two gigs as part of Blue Öyster Cult next weekend. All Rights Reserved |
