To me, the song is king. I believe in the song.

I agree and feel the same way. But putting on a CD is a completely different thing than to attend a live show. I too have difficulties to connect to Tommys kind of music- especially his studio work. But I had heard a lot of things about him and how much his stage presence catches the audience (esp. the female audience) and as I got the chance to visit the show I finally did. It was a great live experience watching him and the others from front row. He has a lot of stage charisma- no doubt about it. On CD it is a different thing...
