For example, that's some serious range!

What happened in over the course of 2013 is incomprehensible. Reason no. 314 why that tour should not have happened or should have been cancelled. |
That raspy high note on 2:37, my God... Jon definitely could still sing back then. I knew his voice was great in 2008-11, but THAT great? Excuse me while I pick my jaw back up from the floor.
