He went on for 20 minutes of the precious 90 he gave us trying to goad the crowd into singing along with a horrible take on Marley's "Three Little Birds" instead of playing his own music, or his proven cover track, "Rocket Man".
Probably not his fault, the majority of the US$70 tickets offered seats where the acoustics were absolutely horrible and you couldn't even see close enough to notice whether Toca had a goatee or not.
He had almost no chemistry with the audience (except for the 12 year-old girls screaming "I love you Jason, you're HOT!!!!"), which might be why he cut it so short, but that shows a level of selfishness and unprofessionalism if true.
But the thing I really blame him for was the length of the show and the setlist:
Make It Mine
Geek In The Pink
You And I Both [Medley]
If It Kills Me
Lucky - with Fiona Sit
Only Human
Clockwatching
Unfold
Live High - with Khalil Fong
Dynamo
I'm Yours (Three Little Birds)
[encore]
Mr. Curiosity
The Remedy (I Won't Worry)
No Stopping Us
Butterfly
I don't know if any of you have ever paid $70 for 90 minutes of music in a horrible auditorium before. I've been to literally hundreds of live performances, and honestly, this was the most disappointing out of every single one.
That said, "Mr. Curiosity", and "Butterfly" (the best song from the latest album) chosen for the finale were highlights. In fact, the encore was great. The rest of she show should have been what the encore was. It just did not have any momentum, whatsoever.
