Slaw,
Todd is among the handful of great Rock and pop songwriters IMO. He's a tremendous guitar player and a skilled singer (within his limitations). Few, if any, can match his songwriting breadth: pop, rock, blues, prog, blue eyed soul, electronics, Calypso, even one or two country songs - you name it, he's done it, and done it well.
Two words of warning on the concerts:
1). He likes to be kind of a dick to his audience. Generally, everyone wants to hear his hits and, depending on his mood, he may include all or none of them in a given set list. If it's a concert with few hits on the list, he may taunt the disappointed fans.
2). If your particular show is late in the tour (check out the schedule on the net), there's a good chance his voice will be shot. He's one guy where the difference between an early in the tour set and late in the tour set is immense.
All that being said, a good TR show (whether straight electric blues or full blown prog Rock, or anything in between) is among the best you'll ever see IMO.
