I posted this in the other voice thread (I think). In my opinion the main problem is intensity and focus. Of course the voice doesn't sound as it did when he was 20 - I wouldn't expect it to. His voice is still a good one though. It need perhaps more care and more focus on the music.

"I think what is missing is the intensity: the absolute conviction that nothing is more important than getting the music across. I also don't think it's age. I think that Jon has his fingers in too many pies. He is spread way too thin, which tends to dilute everything. I think that all of them still put on a hell of a live show - but it's not with the same single minded focus that it used to be. "
