"Todd's opening words to the crowd: "Hi kids.""

"Overall a fist-pumping, foot-stomping good time."

"However in the time we waited for them to come out, (which seemed like forever), we got a look at the set list when Randy taped it to the floor. I was SO disappointed when I saw that Trapped wasn’t on the list. A few of us decided this was unacceptable. We took a black marker and wrote Trapped at the top of Todd’s set list. Then we waited…..When the band came out Todd didn’t even look at the list. He played about 5 songs before he looked down. We kindly told him he forgot something and he laughed but made some sort of comment about not brining that stuff out yet. When the band returned for the encore Todd sang a beautiful rendition of the Hawking. After the Hawking, Todd said that since we had been so good … ….and sure enough they played Trapped. We found out later that they had been rehearsing it."

"The mix was terrible from where I was, but I was so close I could actually hear Kasim Sulton's unamplified voice. My husband walked around a bit and said the sound was much better everywhere else in the venue."

"Smoking guitars, songs we love, kickass musicians, warm fun atmosphere."

"Kaz and Jesse delivered another flawless live performance."

A couple of videos have been posted on YouTube.com from this gig that. This video is Kasim and Todd trading lead vocals in Trapped and this video is of Black Maria (it starts sideways on but soon the camera is moved the correct way up).

The venue (taken from the KasimInfo.com Blog that day):
Tonight Kasim Sulton plays the 7th concert of the Todd Rundgren December 2007 Tour. The concert is at The Blender Theatre at Gramercy in New York City, NY. The address of the venue is 127 East 23rd Street, New York, NY 10010. The theater is located between Lexington Avenue and Park Avenue South. The venue holds 600.

This venue originally opened in 1937 as the Gramercy Park Theatre and, until recently, was mainly a movie theater. (It was also the location shoot for The Fugees video Killing me Softly.) In April 2007 it re-opened as a Live Nations venue for music gigs. It also hanged it's name to The Blender Theatre at Gramercy, named after Blender magazine. Last night was Kasim Sulton's first appearance at this venue.
