Have mixed feelings about that show. I enjoyed it but I cringed so much at parts.
I have never heard Jon sound so bad on 'Keep The Faith.' It was absolutely horrendous. Just couldn't hit the notes at all. The solos at the end saved it, for me.
Really liked 'Amen' weirdly. But too many ballads in one set, I thought. Especially as slow as the ones that got played. 'I'll Sleep When I'm Dead' was amazing. Absolutely loved that and Jon seemed to be really into it. Again, that seems to be his wake up call.
First half got a bit boring. Too many 'meh' songs in there that I didn't care about and predicted it.
When 'These Days' started, I was thinking it was going to be awful but it wasn't too bad. 'Always' was a real strain for Jon but I haven't seen him put that much effort in for so long. He went for it so much and actually done some really good notes and some good shouts/screams. The end verse was the best I have heard for a long long time.
It was a good show. Awful vocals most of the time but the energy was there. I actually missed the speech before 'Wanted' as mine froze which I'm gutted about because a lot of people are going on about it on twitter.
A break is needed. So glad the tour is over. Hopefully they sort everything out.
