As soon as Kasim walked on stage he said good evening and his name in German which was obviously appreciated by the crowd. He then said that was all the German he knew! He explained that he also plays in Meat Loaf’s band and then launched into Don’t Hold Me Back - Kasim’s voice was VERY strong tonight which was brilliant to hear! Kasim played a kind of electric acoustic guitar (not a wooden one) which was the one that he later played Testify on too. (As I didn’t take any photos) Kasim was wearing his stripy shirt that is featured in most photos in the tour book and black trousers.

Next Kasim mentioned Quid Pro Quo and sang Before She Was Gone from the CD. Again he sounded really strong and it was great to see Kasim play HIS music in front of a decent sized audience.

Next, in this all too short set, Kasim mentioned his website www.KasimSulton.com and then played Sacrifice from Quid Pro Quo. Before he started playing this he added one of those clothes peg things (I’m no musician!) halfway up the neck of his guitar. Near the end of Sacrifice, Kasim played that muted guitar part that him and Doug Kennedy play at Kasim’s solo shows which I think is so effective! As Kasim left the stage, the audience gave him a loud round of applause and a lot of cheers!
