I really need to get my ears checked or get a pair of decent earbuds, I didn't even hear it! (I accept suggestions, headphones make my head hurt)
Is this the soundboard for the show? I didn't think it was (again, shitty earbuds, and I only listened to a few seconds when I found it) but I dared myself to sit through the whole show and I also compared to this supposed soundboard Prayer from the same show and I'd say there's a high chance this is the soundboard show:
Anyway... I was listening thinking it's not as terrible as I'd expect, sure almost all the new songs are horribly slow and whiny and Jon basically ruins them, but the whole performance is consistent and there's not much random shouting... but I got to HAND and oh boy, did it all fall apart during and afterwards. I had to turn it off.
I do commend them for not letting the fans down, a 1h30m show would be a ripoff for the high-priced tickets they have, but I don't see Jon improving much more and his voice barely holds up for more than an hour. Keeping in mind that they play all the easy songs first and there's 3-4 unavoidable hits that are vocally demanding and have to be in the second half/encore, there's not much room for anything else, lest any rarity (which in 99% of the cases are vocally demanding)
