Worldwide Epiphany

Other than Temporary Insanity not being included, the set list is identical to the gigs that Todd Rundgren played earlier this year.

Unfortuntely it means that Kasim will not have sung lead on any of the songs but other than Drive, Tiny Demons, S.L.U.T., The Walls Came Down and Hawking they are all songs which Kasim has played on recent tours with Todd so hopefully he won't have had to rehearse too much considering that his last concert was only 4 days before this one! However DaveK did post that they were practicing at the venue by 3.30pm and were still there at 6.40pm!

Also according to DaveK, Todd is reported to have said that it was nice to have Kasim and Prairie Prince back - "I can hear the band now!"

Comments posted by fans on mailing lists include:
"This was a positively STEAMING show, with Jessie, Kasim (!), and PPrince maybe being the alltime backup band to my own taste."

"What a tight band they are!"

Kasim Sulton and Todd Rundgren venue This venue is described as "Monterey Bay's premier nightclub" and artists such as Tina Turner, Neil Young, Nirvana, Alanis Morissette, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam have all played here since it was rebuilt over 20 years ago.

The main dance hall is 5,000 square feet (not including the balconies) and can hold 800 people and the bar downstairs is 100 feet long which starts in the front room and extends into the concert area.
One great feature of this venue is that Kasim Sulton actually receives a mention on their website:
