I f***ing love the way Jon went for the "I need a respirator..." part on Bad Medicine in Prague:

Love's The Only Rule sounded really good there, too - again, with a nice burst of rasp near the end:

A couple weeks ago I was surfing on YouTube and decided to watch the Fresno gig from October '13 once again. I was unexpectedly impressed, as I really didn't remember that, from time to time, Jon was still sounding relatively solid in October. Needless to say, it probably wasn't among the best shows of the BWC tour (even in America) - at least not setlist-wise - but it was a very nice surprise in terms of Jon's vocals, though. Here's the full concert:

Haha sorry mate. Wasn't meaning too. It was just that the OP put a video from 2010 in too.

Actually, I didn't post the '10 version - Dominik aka bonjovi90 did. But I agree with him about it being the best live version of Happy Now.

By the way, these are probably Jon's most consistent vocal performances since 2011:

Jon stays in key throughout on all three songs and doesn't sound embarrassingly thin like he usually does nowadays.

You had posted the 2010 Love's The Only Rule version which he probably meant and which is one of my favourites as well.
Gotta admit that the Always from Birmingham was pretty good, I had completely forgotten about it. That must've been one of his best shows in terms of vocal delivery after Richie's departure.

Oops Yes, I had - me and my poor memory...

Here's a pretty decent version of BOR from Austin '13:

Jon seems to kinda run out of air on the last "bed of nails..." but, otherwise, does a solid job. Also, Phil's solo is beautiful there.

A great version of Bad Medicine from Vancouver '13 with JBJ being incredibly energetic:

EDIT: Jon's voice isn't at its best on Medicine, but I assume we can discuss his best overall live performances since 2011 (not only in terms of vocals but also passion and energy) here as well, right?

I saw them in Madrid in 2013 and Love's the only rule was outstanding. Jon falling on his knees, pulling his shirt with anger and living the song. Good vocals too. Here's the moment:

It's one of my favorite performances

Wow. I mean, WOW! Jon still had it in June 2013 - big time. He also delivered a pretty solid rendition of Always in Madrid:
