I know Jon sounds great here (especially by today's standards) but that solo was a train wreck. Looking back on that 2011 Richie-less leg those were some extremely disappointing shows. I was in Des Moines and that was possibly the worst Bon Jovi show I've attended. Even though he could still sing well that was him on "auto-pilot" mode, acting like he couldn't wait to get off stage as he breezed through the hits. The leg before it and after it contained some of the best shows of their career which is what makes it so disappointing. I really don't know why they didn't just postpone those shows until after the European leg in August/Sept, that would've been the right thing to do instead of just phoning it in for 15 shows.

With all of that said the setlist in Montreal on that leg looked pretty good. It's like Jon was just trolling American audiences at that point.
