The website describes the venue as "The 11,000 square-foot facility with 5 tiered levels, large balconies, 7 bars, and comfortable booths is both beautiful and practical in design". It was built in the 1920s and opened in 1925 as the Park Lane Vaudeville Theater. It was converted to the Town Theater movie theater from 1935 through until the 1960s and then it converted to Park West (a night club) in the 1970s.

The last time that Kasim Sulton played at this venue was in January when he played two concerts here with Todd Rundgren (as the first one sold out quickly).

There is a chance to win a Utopia / Oops Wrong Planet album autographed by Todd and Kasim at the gig tonight. Click here for full details.

First reviews of Kasim Sulton on Arena Tour
13.15 - The first few reviews have been posted online on various messageboard and mailing lists about the first gig of The Todd Rundgren 2008 Arena Tour in Seattle, WA on Wednesday.

Comments about Kasim include:
"Not sure whether it was the mastery of the music, the month off or if adding Kasim to the mix was the Magical X Factor, but they got some serious momentum going on now to power through the rest of the tour."

"It was a bit disconcerting after so many years of seeing Kas up front to see him in the back row. In spite of that Kas turned in some very nice vocals and keys."

"A little more creativity and usage of Kasim's talents would have made a decent show all the better."

The set list and comments have been posted in The Todd Rundgren 2008 Arena Tour section of KasimInfo.com or click here for the direct link.

01.15 - As Kasim Sulton is breaking off during down days on The Todd Rundgren 2008 Arena Tour to play some concerts with Meat Loaf, it'll be almost impossible to compile an accurate total tour mileage so instead on this tour these maps will just show the distances between the various cities.

Last night Kasim Sulton played the first gig of The Todd Rundgren 2008 Arena Tour in Seattle, WA and on Saturday night he plays the second gig in Glen Ellen, CA. The distance between the two cities is about 800 miles (almost due south) which would take about 13 hours to drive by road.

Doors for this concert open at 6.00pm and it is "festival style" which means that other people may also be seated at your table.

We preserve traditional recipes from the East to create dishes rarely found in the West".

Todd Rundgren last played at this venue on 9th July 2008 and a couple of the reviews mentioned that the sound wasn't very good.

Kasim Sulton gig in Avondale Estates, GA - 03/01/08 Kasim Sulton opening set in Sweden last night
14.45 - Kasim Sulton played the opening set at the Meat Loaf concert in Linkoping, Sweden last night. Apparently the crowd was about 2,500 and he was well received.

Kasim played:
Are You Happy Now?
Somebody Loves You
Sometimes Love Is A Dangerous Thing
Cliché
There Goes My Inspiration
Libertine
Sacrifice

Apparently it was only decided the night before that Kasim would be opening the concert.

Using an online translation service, NT.SE describes Kasim's set as "A little unexpectedly opened the concert by Meat Loaf bassist Kasim Sulton. Ensam på en röd pall kör New York-born lättlyssnad blek gitarrock i väntan på huvudakten. Solo on a red stool running the New York born lättlyssnad pale gitarrock pending the principal.".

Kasim's online journal updated
17.00 - Kasim Sulton has updated his online journal.

As well as talking about prices in Europe, Kasim says that he will be back playing again with Todd Rundgren from October through the rest of the year. Kasim describes it as "This time I get to watch the bass player opposed to being the bass player. Todd was kind enough to allow me to come crawling back to the fold in the guise of Keyboards and Guitar. Of course I'll be adding my warblings to the mix as well. To say I'm happy about this would be an extreme understatement".

Kasim Sulton at ExCeL, London, England tonight
09.30 - A week since the last concert on The Meat Loaf Casa De Carne Tour and 20 days since the last UK concert, tonight Kasim Sulton plays the 14th concert on The Meat Loaf Casa De Carne Tour. The concert tonight is at ExCeL in London, England and is part of the British Motor Show.

The first British Motor Show was held in 1903 and has been held almost every year since. For much of its history it was hosted in Birmingham but moved to ExCeL in London in 2006. The ExCeL Exhibition Centre is a large purpose-built exhibition centre in the Royal Docks area of London's redeveloped Docklands. It opened in November 2000 and its name is a contraction of Exhibition Centre London. ExCeL's site covers over 100 acres.

This will be Kasim Sulton's first appearance at this venue and the concert itself is being held in The Honda Live Action Arena. This concert is part of The Motor Show Music Festival. The festival lasts from 23rd July until tomorrow (Sunday 3rd) and has featured various acts each night such as UB40, Alice Cooper, Chicago, Deep Purple and Blondie. The concert tonight starts at 8.00pm (3.00pm in NYC) and the doors open at 6.45pm. Tickets to the concert are £38.50 (about $70) which includes entry to the Motor Show, plus there was an upgrade available to meet Meat Loaf for about another $300 after purchasing a concert ticket. (There were 50 of these packages available and apparently they have all been sold.) The concert is mainly General Admission (with some seating around the sides) and tickets are still available. The venue holds 6,000 and is an open air arena. Ironically since Kasim left UK three weeks ago, the weather has been mainly dry and warm but this morning it has already rained in the area! For the concert the temperature is expected to be about 66 degrees with about a 10mph wind and a 20% chance of precipitation.

Kasim Sulton at Stonehenge
05.15 - A couple of weeks ago, around the time of the Meat Loaf concert in Plymouth, England, apparently Meat Loaf and the band stopped off at the historical site Stonehenge and the drummer John Miceli caught it on film. Kasim Sulton isn't shown too much but click here to view the video.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument and is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world. It is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists believe that the standing stones were erected around 2200 BC and the surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC.

Meat Loaf Casa De Carne Tour Map - Germany to Portugal
07.45 - The last time this map was updated (last Sunday) Kasim Sulton was due to play the following evening the 11th gig of The Meat Loaf Casa De Carne Tour. The concert was in Berlin, Germany and on Wednesday night he played in Hamburg, Germany. Tonight Kasim Sulton plays the 13th concert in Lisbon, Portugal.

Berlin to Hamburg was 180 miles which will have taken about 3 hours by road.

The Hamburg to Lisbon trip Kasim Sulton will have flown. (It's also likely that as they are playing at a festival in Portugal that no staging will have to be sent by road. This is just as well as the map service I use lists the time for this journey by road as "about a day"!.) The distance is 1,640 miles.

Total Meat Loaf Casa De Carne Tour Mileage to date by road venue to venue (estimated) - 4,901 miles (including 258 miles for Kasim's solo gig).

Kasim Sulton tonight in Lisbon, Portugal
06.30 - Tonight Kasim Sulton plays the 13th gig of The Meat Loaf Casa De Carne Tour. The concert tonight is at the Lisbon Calling Festival in Lisbon, Portugal.

It's not easy finding out too much about this festival online but it does appear that also on the bill are The B-52's, Marillion and The Stranglers although it's not clear who is the head-liner.

This will be Kasim Sulton's first visit to this venue and his first gig in Portugal. This venue is expected to be an oustide venue and the forecast is that at the time of the concert it will be about 79 degrees and with zero chance of precipitation!

The next concert on the tour is not until next Saturday so Kasim and the band will have the chance to relax for a few days.
