Hello It's Me 
Comments by fans posted to various messageboards and mailing lists include:
"I don't know why the staging for this tour has Kas and Jesse in the back of the stage with Prairie and John to each side, leaving Todd in the spotlight up front. I think having Kas and Jesse up to make a three-man front would have been better. I think the guys were enjoying themselves but they just didn't seem to create any spark. In contrast to this experience, Todd was here with the Power Trio in 2000 and they killed! The set was full of rocking numbers that played well to large numbers of people outdoors."
"Great show. Funny tidbit, there was another band on another stage, and they were LOUD. I MEAN LOUD. Todd kept commenting, what is that? He said. Prob a cover band. He got the guitar out and fired it at them in the air, and said "This means WAR!"."
"All technical things aside....the energy and the interpretation of the songs and the phrasing and the sheer power of his vocals were amazing. I loved the way he mixed it up---stool, guitar, roaming the stage. "
"Todd mentioned he may not be the loudest band there that evening but he can obviously play more notes than the others are capable of. Todd omitted Flaw.......probably due to some law of the fairgrounds. But Courage, Hawking, and Drive were well played and sung and, as always, Couldn't I Just Tell was a great way to leave the crowd with a smile before the encore."
"The loudest audience approval seemed to be during the Todd/Kasim high kicks in CIJTY. Some things never change."

Summerfest is a massive music and food festival held by the lake in downtown Milwaukee. Entry into the festival is about $15 per day and then there is no additional charge to see Todd Rundgren.
Summerfest is an annual event which lasts for 11 days and is made up of 11 stages with performances from over 700 bands. Since the mid-1970s it has run from late June through early July, usually including the 4th of July holiday. Summerfest attracts between 800,000 and 1,000,000 people each year which is why i calls itself "The World's Largest Music Festival (a title certified by Guinness World Records in 1999). The headline opening act this year at the festival was Britney Spears and Todd will be one of the final acts to pay as the festival ends tonight. Click here to view the Summerfest website.
