I agree with you 100 percent. Jon seemed like he wasn't feeling too well. It shows in his face, voice and entire performance.
But Mouse darling...you were not there
Watching the DVD showed the true story. Honestly though, I saw the clips on the DVD, and the fact that Jon wasn't 100 percent really showed.
I was there and I still think the show is overrated. Sure it was a good show, but it had a standard setlist. And for it being the last European show, I sort off expected all the great things (acoustic stuff, Something To Believe In, I Believe again etcetera) from the entire European tour in one show. But it had just a standard setlist. You can all start about the encore but These Days just doesn't sound good anymore, and the other songs weren't that special either for being an encore.

Amsterdam was a standard show as well with the exception of I Believe but Jon was on fire during that show. He was in a much, much better shape then in Hyde Park where his voice was struggling which can be noticed very well during Bounce and later on These Days. Thierry kept saying Mannheim was better (I wasn't there) but the best show I've seen during the Bounce tour definitely was Amsterdam. There was a better atmosphere too in the Amsterdam arena, much more people were into it despite the fact that it was very hot in there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I left disappointed, not at all, but I expected a little bit more after hearing the stories about Mannheim, Erfurt and Vienna.

This show is only rated this high because the big crowd and it being the last show of the European tour. Not because of the performance itself since there were better ones during the European tour.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan
