The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Sad for Winston, all you really want is attention
I saw the show this week & a few people walked out. (Like-ly had no idea what the new album was like) The vast majority had a very enjoyable time, myself included. Mr. Funk may disappoint if you're expecting a DJ with turntables. This guy can sing & play keyboard support while triggering stuff. He did a fine solo on BLIND. I wished he did more of an opening set. The young ladies didn't lap dance or dress to un-dress. The big wigs were a bit too big but that's being picky.
Happened to meet them after the concert & they were very nice, up-beat & down to earth. I was not at all reminded of hookers while they were on stage or on the street in Old Milwaukee. The trio of singers on the "Live From Japan" Nearly Human era were note-ably sexy-er by design,but never accused of being hookers (?)
Seems this duo is getting stronger with each show & they are great fun to watch. Should I bother to mention that TR was full of energy,tunefulness, screaming guitar, soulful moves & beautiful vocal delivery. New songs were very well presented, some gained dimension in live show that will now be part of my listening of CD. Who else could sing "There's Always More" so convincingly ? The whole night was a Chant, for a World United.
I applaud the crew, stage setup,sound & visuals & the 4 performers. I will remember the Pabst Theater as being loaded with people feeling IT.

Am still waiting to hear news of any UK shows, but have enjoyed the videos posted thus far...there is plenty of evidence from posters here and on facebook that many fans are more than happy with Global and the live shows, as indeed was the response for the State tour over here..I saw 2 of those shows, and just remember them both being great fun and archetypal Todd performances. I met Todd before both of the shows, he was happy to chat and pose for photos, and his respect and gratitude for fans was clear. Why the Global detractors need to resort to so much personal abuse I don't know, but as Dylan once sang " Don't criticise what you can't understand"...and please don't be so angry that others actually enjoy something that you don't!

Yes I was! Damn.

"The trio of singers on the "Live From Japan" Nearly Human era were note-ably sexy-er by design,but never accused of being hookers (?)"

They invited plenty of comment. And encouraged it. Michele even refers to herself as a big slut all the time. Constantly! Online and in person, out of her own mouth. It's not a big deal to them.

The 3 singers on the Japanese tour could sing. These young ladies can't sing. I have yet to read a reviewer who suggests they can sing or dance. I am sure Mr Funk can put his hands in the air like he just don't care but I would rather see a rock band. This is like a Johnny Knoxville gag.

I think Our Hero should add Guantanamo prison to the tour schedule. He could play Part Liquor until all the ISIS captives promise to change their ways.

Not coming to the UK. Not that disappointed. Never thought I would say that.

At the Mikwaukee show Todd thanked Chicago. For real. Reviews trickling in now have a common theme that this is the worst concert tour in history and TR looks like a goofball doing this electronica. I have buyers remorse in the worst way.

Yes, anyone who thinks this show is good, is flippin' tone deaf.

It was sad in a way that took me weeks to shake,

Winston Smith did not take it on the jaw, this night....the paying customers, did!!

What a great Utopia Song....Kasim killed it. Should be in the Utopia 2016 Reunion setlist if TR is done with this stupid ass electronica phase by then. Hope springs eternal.

i guess the large crowd that walked out early in KC would rather eat rat poison that see this show again
