Todd ROCKS! He croons, he swings, he "preaches", he gets funky - but mostly, he F%#@*ing ROCKS !

If you're on the fence about it, don't wait a minute longer - GET YOUR TICKETS NOW. All you diehard Utopia fans, the dreamy-Todd fans, the sweet-soul-Todd fans - he's all there on stage for you this tour. And more. Ever the romantic, ever the axe-man warrior, ever the high-concept techno wizard, ever the charismatic chameleon leading a small cohesive band of brothers - oh the band, the band, the band … they're great!

I thought for a moment during the encore that I was transported back to 1974 - EVERYONE in the auditorium on our feet, clapping in time and singing to "Just One Victory" - most of us mid-life geezers in suits, ties, stockings, and heels having come from work on a Tuesday evening to convene - to bear witness - to testify - to laud - to represent … like Patti Smith says in a new song, a "jubilee".

And just to get grounded here for a moment … the new CD "Liars" is wonderful. He has NOT been lounging around sipping tea these past twelve months. If you can't see the show, get the disc.

Lancaster, Philly, here I come!
