And then after the first chorus, the screen went up less than halfway and stopped. Stuck. Jon actually had to duck under the curtain to get out to the front of the stage. Awkward start.

I really enjoyed all the new songs. A shame that people, even in the first few rows, sit down for this. Especially loved Scars On This Guitar. We Don't Run was fantastic. Awesome live song.

Jon's voice ain't what it used to be, and you can notice at the show, but it didn't prevent me from having a great time. I'm sure YouTube will prove me wrong, but he actually seemed to get stronger as the show went on. It's weird, sometimes he's missing notes and shouting, but other times it felt
Iike he nailed parts of Born To Be My Baby and Keep The Faith (or he was helped by playback).

I Got The Girl was a real surprise to open the encore, and a cute moment with his daughter. Jon seemed in a really good mood throughout, maybe because of family there ( and for Phil too). Thrilled that we got Saturday Night in the encore too.

This is just me probably reading way too much into things, but I always like at the end of shows where Jon says "We'll see you next time!" Last night he said "I hope to see you again." I would go see them if you get the chance.

Glad to hear you had a great time!

He used to say that in 2013 (at least near the end of the tour), too, in addition to that awkward "last one (show) in a long time" line. So, while I fear this might be the last tour (and I'll only get to see them *if* they decide to tour Europe next year), I wouldn't read too much into it at this point, considering Jon's talk about "rebirth of the band" and so on...
