Review by Emily:
I got in early and stood near the front at stage left. The pit soon filled up until it was packed. Kasim said after the show that he was tired but his energy was high.

The set list was the same as the other shows but it works well, though a ballad slotted in would give us a chance to catch our breaths.

I was sorry when it was over but Kasim came out to talk to people soon afters.

There's a good close-up photo of Kasim by Doug Shiley on TRC here.

MusicBox has a review of this gig here. It only mentions Kasim in passing but the gig is described as "just under two hours of prime rock ‘n’ roll.".

Comments posted by fans on mailing lists and messageboards include:
"I love the way Kasim roughens his voice when he goes "trapped!!""

"It sounds like a broken record but the boys ripped through another great show flawlessly on Saturday night."

"Watching Kasim & Todd interacting seemed like old times."

"It was a seriously rockin' show. Two guitars, bass, drums. Kasim Sultan on bass. Todd played a lot of guitar (he's got a pretty cool, wild style) and his support guitarist was also excellent. Kasim has never been one of my favorite bassists, but he did a good job and his vocals are very strong. The bass was something with soapbars, tobias or modulus or something and was a little too boomy for my taste, but it worked OK in the context of things."

"TR's energy level was amazing & the whole band seemed to be having a great time."

"Kasim and Todd had some goof ups, and they laughed at it."

The venue (taken from the KasimInfo.com Blog that day):
Tonight Kasim Sulton plays the 3rd concert of the Todd Rundgren January 2008 Tour. The concert is at The Madison Theater in Covington, KY (Cincinnati, Ohio).

The gig tonight starts at 8.00pm (doors 7.00pm) and it is a General Admission All Ages show. Tickets are $22.50 in Advance and $25 at the Door and the show appears to be selling well.

I don't believe that Kasim has played at this venue in recent years (if at all)*** but the last time that he played in Cincinnati was on 19th February 2005 when he played as part of Patty Smyth and Scandal.
