Yes. He sounds bad. But you are in a concert where there is noise from the people around who is singing like karaoke, Jon's voice is low in the mix, they have 4 backing vocalists and you watch a show with moving lights, moving platforms, moving guitarists (Phil X), moving percussionists (Everett) and some big screens. Also, when they play Bad Medicine or other hits, you jump around and sing along. You say 'f@ck it that's bad medicine baby OOOOH shake it up just like etc etc'.
He does sound bad. But you can't notice it because of the above. This is a big difference I personally experienced. I was having great (sober and not high) fun at the concert. When I get home, I opened youtube and was like WTF is this from tonight? Of course in youtube you are not jumping around and have a more careful listen, maybe the source is better than your ears had in the side of the stage where you were seated etc.
Let me quote something form the other thread

There was so much energy in the place at the end and I actually liked how he progressed from the lesser known songs to the more well-known songs. I also liked his stories, there was something about the whole set up that felt very intimate, like we were in a small venue not a huge one and I really appreciated that they were able to create that feeling. Anyway - everyone I saw left smiling so I think it was easily worth the $$.
