As a studio act, they are still more than acceptable in my opinion, and the albums are what lives on forever so they could happily carry on putting out records as far as I'm concerned.

As a live act, yep there's struggles for sure. Who knows if they are fixable. Even the 2013 Jon was fine by me (although, the UK dates I did was fortunate in being some of the better ones) although his voice is not just worse, but totally different and devoid of any power, unlike the previous decline year to year.

I would still go and see them in Europe, but they really can't be charging the big ticket prices if they can't deliver a decent show. I enjoyed the Palladium show in 2016, and he sounds good enough in the flesh on the new stuff. Bad Medicine was brutal, but most people still enjoyed it.

It's acceptable when you're there, but sadly nothing to be proud of or show off to people like they have been previously.
