David was one of the writers of "In These Arms" (with Richie and Jon) and performed it on one of his albums, so it makes sense if he's going to sing any song it should be that one. I wouldnt mind him singing the entire thing one day.

Amen to that! Yea, the vocals weren't perfect but the emotion made up for it. Great night that was!!

I know what you mean and I was used to that too ! But youtube is a real problem man, you have access to all those old great videos......you know...
Here I don't see that BIG emotion, but I see a really tired man changing the way he pronounces some words to make it easier, whispering a lot (and I don't mean the added version) e wanting to go a little crazy here and there but don't, just facing he can't anymore

And I won't even talk about Richie not moving at all....

Also I still can't get the extra musicians......

Err......maybe I'm a little depressive.......lol........

Well, I see your point. It´s a great performance but Jon DOES have serious problems with the high notes. It doesn´t ruin it, but it affects the experience as a whole.

He looks tired because I'm guessing he was tired. This was the encore and it's not as if he stood in one spot all night and it was 90+ degrees in the stadium. I know I am biased because I was at the show but I don't think him not belting out the high notes detracted from the song at all.

I got it and respect it, but FOR ME, at least 50% of the emotion that Jon used to put on a song was based in the way he used to sing.
For example, I'm from the These Days generation and love it, but some songs on this brilliant album would sound just "so-so", as some Lost Highway's songs, if wasn't for Jon's incredible powerful vocals.

But again, that's only my taste.

It's all about the passion. And that was a passionate performance.
