Was Todd/Utopia already on the bill, or were they added after Aerosmith cancelled? I would assume they were already on the bill but your never know. The first time The Fall ever played in the Cincinnati area was at the late, legendary punk rock venue The Jockey Club. The big corporate club in the area moved heaven and earth to book The Alarm at the last minute to try to take people away from The Fall gig.
I saw the original six person Utopia not long after the release of the first Utopia album. They played songs from that album as well as a wide variety of Todd's solo stuff.
