It's as if the "heart" will occasionally come alive..but physically...he's not able to deliver what he would have been able to in the past when that "heart" would start up. A perfect example of this is the performance of Blaze of Glory at Giants Stadium on One Last Wild Night Live. He attempts to go for it on the last note, ala the Wembley 1995 performance...but loses it..you can visibly see his disappointment in his face. I do have every bit of faith that he would be completely capable of it if he kept on with his voice as he did in the past.
