Wasn't sure how I would feel about the bridge seating but it was really cool to see what I thought was a bird's eye view of the band and the audience.
I also thought he had a ton more energy last night and sounded a lot better too. It was cool to watch Tico, that guy is unbelievable.
Disappointed Devil's in the temple wasn't played and would have loved to hear "always" or "I'll be there for you"
His voice is not what it was, but he still knows how to work a crowd and until he can't do that anymore, I think we still have quite a few more tours to look forward to.

I agree Nina - Jon sounded really good on all the new stuff. Would have loved to have heard a few different new selections, "Living with the Ghost" particularly.
I have to say though, that Raise Your Hands sounded particularly bad and Crash didn't sound much better. I was surprised at the difference between the encore and the rest of the set. I usually get so involved during the live show that I don't even hear a sour note or two. Last night I heard a bunch of them. I have heard both of those songs so many times live that it really hurt to hear Jon struggle. Once I heard the struggle I figured that he wouldn't go for Always and he didn't.
Once again though, overall a very good show. Tons of energy from Jon and the band really deserves to be showcased. They are precise and tight with lots of energy. They really sparkle. If I could make a wish, I would just hope that Jon could salvage a bit more of his voice. Perhaps it just isn't possible.
