They played for almost exactly two hours but they were obviously very aware that there was a strict curfew so they finished at 10.58pm.

Consequently there was one song that they started but Todd said he couldn't remember all the first verse so they stopped it and went onto the next song (again Todd mentioned the curfew).

Todd switched between his green guitar he calls Foamy and his new one that he introduced as Butters (it's a cream colour). He constantly switched between the two during the set.

They interspersed the Johnson music with songs from Todd's own catalogue that had a "bluesy feel" - songs like Soul Brother, I Went To The Mirror, Weakness and Kiddie boy. The most famous songs (and most popular) in the set were Open My Eyes and I Saw The Light.

The latter song was part of the three song encore with Tiny Demons and Hamburger Hell.

Security was very strict at the venue with the guards stopping people taking photos but people stood at the front of the stage for the encore so couldn't be stopped.

All four of them wore all black on stage and all wore glasses throughout the whole set.

Kasim was playing a different guitar tonight. It was a black and white one and then he switched to his cream coloured guitar for the encore.

Kasim sang less in this set than I've ever sing him sing on a tour before

The venue is called the Blue Ocean Music Hall but until 3 days ago it was called the Tupelo Music Hall. The address of the venue is 4 Ocean Front North, Salisbury, MA 01952 and apparently the venue is right on the beach front with views out over the ocean. The website states "waves actually break underneath the building!" Click here to view the new venue website. The venue only opened last November so this is Kasim Sulton's first appearance here.

The website says that no seat is further than 50 feet from the stage and the seats are arranged around tables. The capacity is 500 seated. Tickets vary in price bewteen $50 and $40 and can be purchased from this link. However a few days ago there were only two seats available for this gig but at different tables.

The ticketing page for this gig mentions Kasim Sulton by name:

Englewood, NJ to Salisbury, MA is 257 miles which will take about five hours by road (109 miles of those are on the I84).

Todd Rundgren April 2010 Tour Mileage by road to date venue to venue (estimated) - 288 miles.

The Total Tour Map so far is:

The items discussed that may (or may not) involve Kasim Sulton were:

The address of the the Bergen County Performing Arts Center is 30 North Van Brunt St, Englewood, New Jersey, 07631 and the gig tonight starts at 8pm. Click here to view the venue website.

The Bergen Performing Arts Center is described as "a theater of and for the community that it serves throughout northern New Jersey, by being a creative focus, educational resource, and engine of economic vitality. A not-for-profit organization, BergenPAC’s mission is to make the live performing arts accessible to the entire population – building a creative home that guides and liberates the imagination of our young, inspires and expands the lives of our adults, and attracts established and emerging artists of excellence and relevance."

This theater opened during 2004 in the former John Harms Center. This was one of the largest performing arts centers in New Jersey which closed on 14th April 2003. The John Harms Center originally opened as the Englewood Plaza on 22nd November 1926 so is full of history but tonight it marks another moment in its history as it will be Kasim Sulton's first appearance here!

Click here to purchase tickets for the venue which vary in price from $69 to $29 (plus charges). A few days ago the best seats available were in the 23rd row of the orchestra section. The concert starts at 8pm.

This is the gig which is closest to Kasim's home on this tour as Staten Island to Englewood, NJ is only about 31 miles which will take about an hour (assuming the traffic is light).

KasimInfo.com has a history of April Fool's Day tricks over the years. In 2002 a lot of people were fooled by a spoof interview from Rolling Stone Magazine with Kasim that was added. Click here to read it. When it was posted it had loads of Rolling Stone logos too. Some of the Kasim quotes are genuine but some were fabricated. Ironically the part about Kasim opening for Meat Loaf even actually came true (when I wrote this spoof, I had got him listed on Pollstar a few times and they assumed that was opening for Meat Loaf but we didn't know then that Kasim Sulton would eventually open most of the concerts). This was one of the best interviews that Kasim didn't do!

In 2003 there was a very mild prank as it was just listed on the "This Day" section "On This Day in 1994 Kasim Sulton changed his socks" or something mild like that.

In 2004 a business card that was supposed to have been Kasim's was posted to the website. (Click here to view it.) That year someone did e-mail to complain that they didn't think it a good idea to post Kasim's telephone number on the website!

In 2005 there was the infamous DougInfo.com page.

In 2006 there was The Nude Cars photo (which fooled at least one member of the band!).

And in 2007 the Blog was changed to be Sunday 1st April 2018!

In 2008 the front page of KasimInfo.com was changed because Kasim Sulton's name has frequently been mis-spelt so there was a page of his name spelt Kazim Sultan. It can be viewed here.)

And last year the Blog page had news totally unrelated to Kasim. Click here to view it.
