Simply another example of Jon/the band being lazy in my opinion! Goes hand in hand with them not bothering to rehearse!!!

Meh, I disagree. There's plenty of bands using a teleprompter, I don't think it comes down to laziness. And ever since it got introduced the chances for rare stuff have increased a lot. I'm all for it and don't really understand why he didn't get one sooner.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I agree with this. It's not like he reads word for word on every song, but it's good to have a backup. As far as I'm concerned, everyone should have one, it saves from embarrassing moments where you forget the words. It's like having notecards at a speech, you're not just reading off them but if you forget what you're about to say with people staring at you, it's just awkward for everyone.

Jon used one on the These Days tour, but it was dropped when they returend in 2000 and just re-appeared on the Circle tour.

I agree with you...and prior to the teleprompter, it was written out lyrics on sheets of paper taped to the stage floor near his mic.

LOL - that takes me back to the days when my friends' local band couldn't remember the words to certain cover songs, so 'us girls' would listen to the songs over and over and write the words on paper and duck tape them to the stage! I guess I should have applied for that job for the BJ tour - with my vast past experience, I would have been a shoo in!

Idiotic.

He's gonna forget lyrics, regardless of rehearsing or whatever. He's only human.

I see nothing wrong with having one, nor did i have a problem with Richie having an iPad at his gigs. What will get jon moving round more is getting rid of the bloody mic stand give him a mic in its own and he will be back to normal

Also new on this tour, I think David has a teleprompter standing up in front of him when he's facing Tico...

It is such a shame that when he has this teleprompter to back him up, he is not playing more rare stuff.
