I don't know what everyone was expecting? For his voice to suddenly roll back to 2011 level? Not gonna happen.
Interesting to note that Jon's ditched the guitar in a bunch of songs, including Wanted, IBTFY, Runaway, Sleep etc.
Not to mention that this is the best setlist we've had in AGES. I never thought IBTFY, BOR, ITA and TD would all be played at the same show again. I think all of this negativity is unwarranted... if anything this show was an IMPROVEMENT and people are still complaining.

Wow, he actually sang the "like Frankie said I DID it my way" like he used to do prior to October '13 (without cutting the high note short like he's always done since then). I really believe he's getting his vocal confidence back, but unfortunately, his voice still has a long way to go overall, even though it's improving all the time.
