For me performances on the SWW tour (yes, even with Jon's shot voice!) were among the best of that song ever! Why?

The Jersey tour had good ones as well, in the 90's it still was cool because of the acoustic intro Richie played, but already there the song had lost a bit of its magic for me.

The shot voice highlighted the message of the song!! It is about exhaustion on tour.
Wanted is classic and that's why it deserves to be still attractive live. This is plain boring.
At least they did some strumming before the keyboard riff in 2000/2001 but starting with Bounce tour it became boring. It has terrible spot for such song during the Bounce tour. HaND tour was a bit better because of Richie singing the second verse few times. But still..
