It deserves to be posted so those who haven't seen it witness how awesome this band actually were not that long ago (well, almost 10 years but still).

Listen to the third verse, he does the "I guess I'd rather die than fade away" like he did in the 90s, as well as going for the "no, no, no" in the chorus. It's just mindblowing. I will never truly understand what happend to Jon from the pretty poor opening nights vocal wise in Prudential Center in 2007 to the Europe leg of 2008.
I'm glad Jovi are still playing today and that Jon gives his all even though it sounds so-so, but after watching this one and Bed of Roses from the same show you can't help but feeling a little devestated. It's not the same, it's not even 10 % of what it was less than 10 years ago. I never got to see Jovi during the 90s, but nowadays I can't believe how lucky I am that got to see the band at their last peak, because after the final note in Lisbon 2011 it would never be the same again. Never.
