But I hate his guitar sound in MAM. It doesn't have any sustain...

Absolutely agree! He's awesome at the 80s stuff but when there's something more melodic or subtle he's all over the place.

I'm happy it was played though. I freaking love it, one of my faves from Slippery

Yes IDFY was played in 2013.

If you can't do anything else, at least stop the f*cking whispering - it's driving them nuts!"

I don't hear the great vocal improvement and believe me, I'm not happy to point it out not do I wish to nitpick. The vocal performance is still very patchy and I honestly think this is it. IT IS an improvement from the first leg, that much I agree, but the way things have evolved I firmly believe this is the best Jon we'd get vocally, great in some parts, rough in others. His last great transformation (2008 ) had a solid starting point, yes some shows were awful but he sounded really good in the promo shows from 2007, better than the last shows of the HAND tour. The evolution was not 0 to 100

Anyway, the truth is the better he gets as a frontman, the more I miss Richie and think of all the great shows we won't have. See, I tried to be positive but ended in a depressing note

It was played in Cologne, but not after Rockin' All Over The World. Somewhere around the 6th spot in the setlist and also done in a similar position in Bern 2013. I remember being impressed in Cologne how Phil ripped through that solo. It's just the type of solo he's best at doing.

Less cheap rosé wine might help curing that mode

I thought Bed Of Roses was great. Started off a little patchy but from then on, was really really good. Jon's also slowly stopping the annoying pronunciation of words.

The outro was brilliant!!!

Enjoyed that.

Bed Of Roses is not even my favorite ballad, but if he’s gaining confidence and can do it some justice like that, go for it. Play it every night.
