Want a real gem? This in front of 50.000 was exstatic. Watch this middle part of "Saturday Night" from 2:45. It's a cool close-up. This was a time when Jon apparently felt something, not robo-Jon.

I love this version, he has done that several other times, but not many. Watching that just now, this band can still give me chills when they are ON like this.

Has to be one from the 2011 tour when they were somewhat decent. In 2013 the energy level dropped, I saw a very tired and worn out band.

I'm not sure if the new album for next year is a good thing now. Maybe Jon needs to take a couple of years rest before going back on the road again.

What a performance - that is top class. There's power, emotion, passion, energy...brilliant.

The last time I saw the band was Memphis on the Circle tour and that was a great show. I'll only judge by the shows I've actually gone to. I don't really care about you tube videos. To me, nothing compares to actually being there.

Yeah, the 2011 shows were almost all of them amazing. Great sets, surprises, band on fire…
But the Cleveland in 2013 was pretty good too. As the last, I go with this one.

Hmm i saw them last at 02 2010 and manchester 2013. Jon wasnt quite on autopilot in 2013 but his was a lot less spontaneous. Judging by the footage he still sounded good in 2011 so i'd say Lisbon.

The 2013 tour had a lot less energy than the previous tours... We had a worried, tired and static Jon, new guitarrist (a great one, but it felt kind of weird), static set lists...

There was some cool moments in the 2013 tour anyway. I had the pleasure of listening to my favourite post-2000 BJ song with Jon really into it:

this is great from minute 4.10 onwards...

Judging from the concerts I went to: Munich 2011. Berlin 2013 was ok, but not the same.

The later shows from 2013 sounded terrible for the most part, from what I can tell from YouTube. Worst Jon I've ever seen was 2014 (constantly out of tune, strange phrasing, etc.), and then he somewhat recovered in 2015, though he still has lost some of his range

Don't know about the "truly great" part, but the Bern 2013 show looked like a lot of fun. I'd die for you, opening with rocking all over the world, Undivided, Jon trying to be part of the jam at the end of KTF, Not Running anymore and ending with These Days. I'd say Jon was in a good mood for that show....
