Hopefully, Jon will sound okish.

Do you know how many songs they will perform?

No, but I expect we can expect YGLABN, DOA, Living on a prayer, IML, HAND, THINFS, BTBMB, Born to Follow, Lost Highway etc the usual that Jon does, and maybe the two new singles "When we were us", and "Walls" maybe?

Hey, we may even may get KTF, and Blaze of Glory, and Dry County, that's asking too much!

He might - or he might not. Personally, I obviously wish for the first option, but I'm not holding too much hope for Jon as a singer anymore.

As for the question about the amount of songs getting performed, I'd say 12-15. More than in 2012, anyway.

And now, let's all celebrate the perfection that was the BJ gig at the '12 iHeart Radio Music Festival:

In terms of the band's (especially Richie's) playing it certainly was a good - if not great - show, but Jon sounded absolutely cringeworthy for the period. As for nowadays, the JBJ of iHeart '12 would sound perfectly passable for me this year, and that's what really makes me sad regarding the current state of his voice...

I am not expecting miracles, just Jon doesn't sound too bad.... I am not expecting Sao Paulo, or Porto Alegre performance ( if you agree it was good) but we will see how he does when the second THINFS tour comes and finishes. ( again, hoping for a couple good shows overall, unrealistic to hope he sounds good on every single night, nowadays)

iHeart Radio Music Festival 2012 was a good gig for the other guys, but a shit one for Jon even for his '12 standards.

What about for his post-Hyde Park '13 standards?

Imagine that Jon's vocal coach was all like "ya now what, that 2012 iHeartRadio show that was so horrible, is not bad by today's standards, shall we start training for that level?"

A bad show doesn't get better with age.

Well, then it was f*cking incredible.
