Imagine two hours of that. But I had heard the Global album beforehand as well as read reviews of the previous shows, so I knew going in that it wasn't going to be the standard Todd show. It was interesting to watch, but I enjoyed it much less than when Todd does some guitar riffing and sings with soul. Consider the people who only know him from the hits, whether it be Hello or Bang The Drum- they could not walk away satisfied. Most people are not that into the improv side of music when they paid for it, IMO. I get the viewpoint that changing things up can be nice but where does an artist draw the line between spreading artistic wings and alienating long-time fans? When you have the money to do whatever you wish as an artist, you might fear the backlash less but as someone who makes money solely from touring now, isn't it a risk to bite the hand that feeds you?
