Alpine Valley, Im pretty sure, was one of the shows that had it's encore live webcast and I remember Jon's voice being really really really rough that leg.

I'd love it if they'd do something like that!

It was ok. They played These Days in the encore, which I think is regarded around here as one of the worst ever performances of that song (I don't remember it quite like that, but being relatively unimpressed). The show at the Bradley Center was definitely better. Wild In The Streets, Undivided, The Distance, In These Arms . . . That show rocked.

They did it as well in Kiel, when the concert was moved from a big outdoor field into an arena due to "technical reasons" or something (= too low ticket sales). I thought it was great, but many people were shouting "boohh" and things like that. Two people even got escorted away from their seats by security

Why - oh, why - did they open the encore with f***ing REUNION?????

Even Wildflower would've been a better choice, and I hate that song as well. That said, it's probably waaayyy too high for Jon nowadays...

And Jon! Where the hell is my I Love This Town???!!! Oh, wait - Jon can't sing that one anymore either.

JON, STOP THIS F***ING TRAIN WRECK OF A TOUR IMMEDIATELY! You're more than done - you're an embarrassment for all us fans. This two-hour nonstop snoozefest makes me miss the epic setlists of Dusseldorf 2011 (the ultimate definition of a vanilla show), Stuttgart 2013 (the June show, which got Amen and Army Of One back-to-back to open the encore - the biggest anti-climax in the history of our mankind) and even f***ing RIO 2013!!!!! At least they got (one of the worst ever versions of) Always.
