From TRconnection.com's Tour Page reviews: "Every song was strong. There was an amazing vibe in the air and everyone had a great time including the band. Todd really seemed to enjoying himself."  Al Cannon "Todd looked good and sang well; he really appeared to be in good spirits. The band was its usual almost perfect self." Bob Markarian "All in all, I enjoyed the concert immensely and from what I saw to my left and right, so did everyone else! Todd was in fine shape, physically and vocally—soooo happy he was healthy! He seemed to enjoy himself—there were lots of smiles from the man! " Kathryn Sauers "So glad that we decided to do this event and would do it again in a heartbeat ... Todd was amazing as always.
