According to reviewer Marshall Fine, Kooper gave an “enjoyably funky show” to a packed house. He started the show with Elton John’s “Border Song,” and while Fine was not so impressed with his voice, he loved his instrumental work. Other songs included James Taylor’s “Country Road” and Nilsson’s “Without Her.” Fine deemed Thundertre to be “a competent group with a lot of feeling in their music,” but lead singer Jeff (Schleppy) Shapira’s style was too much like Joe Cocker’s and got to be irritating after a while. Fine also had a beef about the Depot’s light show, which was “one of the dullest since Edison discovered the tungsten filament.” But then, apparently, no one in Minneapolis knew how to put on a decent light show.
