As we
had hoped, the event had an intimate private party feel to it. Special guest
Pat Travers Band earned some new fans during their rocking set to start the
night off right. A special THANKS goes out to everyone that
attended!
From TRconnection.com's Tour Page reviews:
"Every song
was strong. There was an amazing vibe in the air and everyone had a great time
including the band. Todd really seemed to enjoying himself." Al
Cannon
"Todd looked good and sang well; he really appeared to be in good
spirits. The band was its usual almost perfect self." Bob Markarian
"All
in all, I enjoyed the concert immensely and from what I saw to my left and
right, so did everyone else! Todd was in fine shape, physically and
vocally—soooo happy he was healthy! He seemed to enjoy himself—there were lots
of smiles from the man! " Kathryn Sauers
"So glad that we decided to do
this event and would do it again in a heartbeat ... Todd was amazing as always.
I tell everyone who asks me "he's still around"? that he can still rock it and
as long as he is touring I will be there rocking with him. " Donna
