Comments by fans posted to various messageboards and mailing lists
"Jesse and Kasim were excellent at covering the late, great Moogy Klingman on keys. The back up vocals were perfect."

"I just want to say that it was an AMAZING show! The mix was a bit rough at first. There were a few fudged guitar parts at the beginning."

"I was amazed at how tight the band was after just a couple of weeks on the road."

"Kasim and Jesse were the frosting on the cake adding stellar harmonies, percussion and keyboards to the mix."

"Todd had some heartfelt words for Moogy before Just One Victory, and Moogy's passing was aknowledged in the closing credits of the Pay-Per-View"

"Moogy, who as Todd said should be with us here on stage but fate had other plans for him and that Moogy was a driving force as a founding member of Utopia. He was there in spirit. The fans were chanting Moogy Moogy as the band eased into Just One Victory. dedicated to Moogy by Todd. "
