Kevin (from Arizona):

My wife and I had just arrived in Toronto at about 3:30pm for a 7:30pm show --- and were looking for a place to eat. We got to the gates of the MOLSON AMPHITHEATRE, which is in this really neat waterfront park.

Obviously, I did not drive up there (2.5 hours) knowing that the lights were out.

Now, there was about 100 or 200 people that were there that early in the day --- it was a beautiful day 85 degrees and sunny --- and we talked peronally to about thirty people who were all very suspicious of what was going on. Additionally, there were some very peculiar spiritual vibes in the air.

Now as to your calling them STEELY BLAND --- my closest friend does not enjoy them either --- but they are one of my and Paula's favorites.

The power ended up being off in my neighborhood for two and a half hours --- from 4:15pm to about 6:45pm --- which was before we got home. The clocks were all off two and a half hours --- the VCR's and so forth. However, my computer network stayed up, because I have everything running on the APC UPS power back ups.

I called the concert line this morning, and a decision will be made on Monday morning as to the rescheduled date, or outright refunds. Fagen and Becker have off nine days at the beginning of September to rest between tour legs --- my guess it may be within that time.

All in all it was a bummer.
