I've often wondered what the rest of the band must be thinking when they have to listen to these vocals on their IEM's for 2+ hours each night

I had similar thoughts. What must Tico, David and Hugh be thinking having to put on their 'happy face' and play shows knowing how much it sucks just compared to a few years ago. Moreover, what Phil must be thinking, something like "he wasn't this bad when I first joined him".

And also, David should be pushing Jon hard to drop a step. Maybe he does that already, who knows.

Well, you can see Tico's face right after the first chorus. Generally I guess it's difficult for them, since a voice doesn't work like an instrument. If a guitar is wrongly tuned, then you just re-tune it in a minute. It sounds wrong to them, but what can they do? Point it? Jon knows and can't do a lot for that. They just show courage and empathy for their singer.

Dropping the song one step down (in D) would be a good idea. I know that the song will lack energy, but maybe Jon will be more confident and comfortable singing...

EDIT: I think it is obvious that the "livin on a praaaayer" before the solo was pre-recorded. 2 seconds before, Jon turns around. Maybe confirming the lip-syncing?

It is pre-recorded. They used the one from New Meadowlands 2013 live stream on all of the 2015 shows.

Agreed and that's always what happened when they released an official live video. Of each 1995, 2000 and 2008 I could easily name 5 better shows from the top of my head.

Wow!

I suspect this would have been posted at the time but tour of Jon's house and the recording studio. https://youtu.be/SiJ57RVs0oI .... at one point he proclaims "without Richie Sambora the sound wouldn't be the same"!

"The arrangement with the orchestra and the backing singers forced him to sing in a higher key which enhanced the performance a lot."

What a voice he had in this one!

The video is better but the audio seems a little off... it doesn't have as much bass and the L and R aren't balanced
