For the second show, Patti Russo from Meat Loaf joined him onstage for that song. You can find clips of Kasim doing Set Me Free and IWHMAD on KasimInfo.com". Also today a couple of people mentioned on that board that they will be attending Kasim's Ohio gigs!

There are two results: Kasim Sulton, listed as "Concerts - Rock and Pop" which shows the gig for The Saint, and Kasim Sulton of Utopia, listed as "Concerts - Alternative Rock" which shows the gig for Little Brothers!

Back to rehearsals for a second, since Meat was not available at the time, Patti Russo and Kasim did the main vocals on all possible songs for the evening, it was remarked Patti actually did Bat Out Of Hell and Kasim did things like A Kiss IS A Terrible Thing To Waste and such, etc."

I'm not about to repeat them all here but the unanimous feeling was that that sort of thing should not have been posted onto a website or advertised in public, the phrase "shooting herself in her foot" comes to mind.

Later today I will remove any remaining references off the rest of the site.

A message from Kasim Sulton:
Hi Everyone,
It's early Thursday morning here in Los Angeles. I just finished the second day of recording sessions for a new Meat Loaf CD. The new material that we've been working on sounds great and I'm sure all the M.L. fans will be delighted to hear what is promising to be both a cutting edge yet traditional Meat Loaf CD.
We've cut four tracks so far. Two with Meat Loaf producing, and two with producer Peter Mokran. Both myself and Tom Brislin are playing on these tracks along with Kenny Aronoff on drums. Kenny is not only the most 'in demand' drummer on the planet, he is also the funniest. He has us in stitches with stories about everyone he's worked with. I wish I could describe the stuff we've been doing in more detail but I'm sworn to secrecy about it so..... patience is a virtue. I'm sure no one will be disappointed with this CD.
On to a subject to which I can speak of....... Me! I was so pleased with last weeks show that I'm actually impatient to get home and perform on Saturday. To be honest, it had been so long since I played more than one or two songs by myself in front of an audience I was prepared to have to change some things about the show after the first one. I was met with such warmth and love, that the performance became an extension of the audience. So this Saturday should be interesting. I think I'll be a little more relaxed. I'm just as anticipatory as I was for the first show but slightly less nervous. It's funny, I can play in front of 150,000 people, as I did with Utopia one year in England, but put me in a room with 70 and I'm a wreck! Hmmm, intimacy problems? All the armchair psychologists can have a field day with that one. I just want everyone to smile.
So having said all this, I hope to see you all at the upcoming shows. I LOVE this.
Kasim

04/15/01
16.00 - Kasim received a mention on a Todd Rundgren Yahoo Message Board: "Does any-one get V.H.1's second channel Classics? I saw a Joan Jett video, I Hate Myself For Loving You, and it was the version of the Blackhearts that Kasim played in, so he was in the video! I've only ever seen a pic on one of their C.D.'s with him , so it was pretty cool! I'm told they have played 1 Utopia video on there too, late night of course, but that's just heresay as I havent seen it myself! Never did understand how Kasim could do the Meat Loaf thing tho', but I'm sure that furthered his career greatly! And the Richie Sambora thing I never heard much about! Hope he does well solo! Still getting pumped for both of their {Todd, Kasim] Ohio appearences!"
15.00 - There was a message posted to a Todd Rundgren mailing list by Dorren Brennan about Kasim Sulton's gig last night: "Nothing to say but "HE'S BACKKKKKKKK" ......was in great voice sang in an upper range a little different from last week. Was tuned downed for the most part but kicked it at times and when he did it was like WOW. Patti Russo of Meat Loaf fame did It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference, funny she came out with a cheat sheet but it was cute, Patti did a great job harmonizing. Kas said how he was in LA all week recording with Meat and when Meat asked what he was doing as far as gigs so he had heard, he asked again... soooo what are YOU PLAYING????? Kas responded my own material ya know with me and my acoustic guitar and Meat says... you mean your doing a FOLK ACT??? Kas said ya like It's not like I am doing Puff The Magic Dragon. Any way, it was pretty funny. Kas was pretty comfy last week but he sat on his stool even more relaxed than last week. Well, I am not good at reviewing, as you all know I am not much of a writer but, if Kasim is playing a town near you please go and support him. He is well worth the trip. And you will feel like your with family. I will think of Kas tonight as I got a big hug and now I smell of his favorite cologne. One of my fav's smells as well, Sweet!!!!!!."
14.00 - There were some messages on the Kasim Sulton Yahoo Message Board about Kasim's briliant show at The Bitter End last night, including a link to three great photos of Kasim!

05.30 - A message from Kasim Sulton:
Hello Everyone,
Last day here in sunny L.A., that really hasn't been sunny at all. Cold too! El Nino? La Nina? Who knows. What is important though is the work thats been done over the past 4 days. All the Meat Loaf fans in the U.K. and the U.S. will be happy to hear that the new material is sounding amazing!
Although we've only cut 5 'basic tracks', you can usually tell where something is heading. This is going to be a really special record. Meat is excited and looking forward to recording more songs in the next few weeks. Looks like a winner from my vantage point.
In any case, home tomorrow just in time for my second solo show in N.Y.C. Last weeks went so well I'm sure this Saturday will a bit more relaxed on my side of the stage. I was hoping to add a new song to this weeks show but because of the travel time and work schedule, it wasn't in the cards. Instead, I opted to have a 'Special Guest' join me on stage for a song. No...... not him. You'll just have to wait and see/hear who it is. I'm happy to say that there are more shows coming up with others in the planning stages. It's looking good though guys. I know I only have one show under my belt right now, but it just feels so right to be doing this now, no matter what hurdle is thrown in my way.
For all of you celebrating a holiday this week or next, have a great one and be good to each other.
Love, Kasim
04.30 - I finally added the page for Kasim's gig last Saturday at Arlene Grocery. It contains the set list, reviews, photos and some video clips.
