That soundboard audio recording was horrible... It sounded like it came from Jon's IEM... The live bootleg stream was much better and that's what the audience heard...

Listening to an audio vocal like that is like zooming into a mole or the pores on a pretty girls face... Sometimes a little distance is necessary... Would Jessica Alba still be as hot with a shaved head and a tee-shirt? Or is it the hair, make-up, and fashion style?

Same Deal!!!! You can't extract Jon's vocals from a live show and expect it sound like a million bucks... It's the music, band, acoustics, audience, etc... Jon did a nice job blending and mixing it all together... Part of what made the vocal so great was Jon knowing when to let the band and audience fill in parts... That doesn't showcase on a soundboard of only Jon's voice...
