Aloha !

Er, Saturday Night was great live during the Bounce tour. Yes, Jon doesn't have the power to do the high notes but there never was a live version that had as powerful vocals as the studio versions.

I don't know about Always, I thought Jon nailed the song when they played it live the last few times during the Bounce tour.

Bed Of Roses has been permantently ruined in my opinion, it's played way to slow. The same for Livin' On A Prayer. I don't get a thrill anymore when hearing a live version, it's become one of those songs that makes you think "how would Jon sing the "Liiving on a prahayer.." before the guitar solo kicks in. The only time I heard him sing it in an acceptable way was in Amsterdam 03.

And In These Arms should be taken of the setlist forever, unless they play the acoustic version in an acoustic set. I mean, singing a song 1,5 key lower and still not doing the screams in it while you should be perfectly capable of doing it makes you a bad singer. And because it's not playing in the old key, it lacks all the power the studio version has.

Salaam Aleikum,
