Reviews of the Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die Tour have been effusive:
“Urie danced his way across the stage during each song as he mirrored the crowd’s fervent energy, which was at full throttle the entire night…He isn’t afraid to hit those high falsetto notes to demonstrate his brilliant vocal range, show off some dance moves, or run around bare-chested performing acrobatics off the stage equipment.” —The Miami New Times
“Lead singer Brendon Urie’s voice is powerful and excellent…the energy level last night started high and never waned.” –Consequence of Sound
“The Marquee was transformed into a rock church during ‘This Is Gospel,’ as stained-glass images lit the stage. The audience faithfully followed Urie, who commanded the room as if it were his church.” —The Phoenix New Times
