Like I said earlier, all he needs is a good two day rest, I think he will be fine. From what I have read here, this cold started on Saturday, maybe the cold tonight has hit its climax, and hopefully on Friday he will be fine.

Here is a review from the show, the writer pointed out Jon's issues but he seemed fair and understanding, https://t.co/1NM4Y2svHZ

Gotta tip my hat to Jon as I'm sure it's extremely difficult to be on stage performing with a nasty cold. Too bad for the Pittsburgh fans.. would there be a possibility of them doing another show here in the near future to make up for it?

If there was ever a time to be handing out refunds or doing another show here, this is it.

tbh this is one of my favorite setlists from the tour so far, except for missing Wanted.

Long does NOT equal good. 90 minutes for a band is plenty enough. Let's not get too dramatic.

I could be wrong, but isn't this the first time he's had to call a show short since Sofia on 5/14/13 when his allergies kicked in real bad? He did 20 songs and two hours that night.

Jon probably thinks he's a "fighter" for doing this show despite not being able to sing, but he's an idiot.

Singers get sick and cancel shows all the time. It's no big deal. Just postpone it a few weeks, apologise on social media and move on. Yeah, you lose a few bucks due to logistical reasons, but you could at least protect your instrument that earns you those big bucks. But no, Jon is so tough he never cancels shows...

It's decisions like this that ****ed up his voice in 1986, 2003 and 2013 and the dude still hasn't learned his lesson.

Yes, and these are exactly the decisions I'm talking about. Drives me nuts how little he cares about how he sounds long-term.

Why is this set better than the others? It's literally the same vanilla set-list but without some songs.

90 minutes is certainly not enough, not for a band of this calibre, at a stage in their careers where an expensive ticket can't be justified by amazing performance. What Jon lacks in vocal ability he should be making up for in set-length and variety.

If they were going to chop half the set list, that was the wrong half to chop!
