The reports have been so dire that I figured that they would finish the tour and crawl away home to lick their wounds. Once again these guys have sucked me back in.

This was an awesome show, done by a bunch of professionals who were genuinely having a good time together playing music. Jon gave a few nice speeches but most importantly he said (and I am paraphrasing) "We ain't goin' nowhere." He also said that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. He also gave a nice speech about Phil and his new baby and how he came right back to the tour (not letting anyone down).

I finally got to hear more songs from the "new" album, there were 5 of them played last night. No Jon didn't attempt Always or Dry County but what he did do he did well - I loved Thick as Thieves.

Was it the best show of theirs that I have seen - nope - not even close. But it was a good solid show albeit a bit short. I knew it was a casino going into it and they are always short. It was happy and enjoyable and I heard some new stuff - good enough for me.
Great post, thank you. These kinds of comments bring perspective that´s sometimes lacking.
I remember seeing them last summer in Finland and despite all of the obvious shortcomings, I think my experiences were a lot like the ones you described above.

I prefer him get pissed at himself like he does when another member of the band messes up.

I prefer the exact opposite. I'd prefer he laugh off other's mistakes like he does his own.

Yeah, he handled it pretty well. I like when he just laugh off the mistakes, instead of going all grumpy.

I thought he handled it pretty well also, but he is seriously sounding off. Even on this song, get your shit together Jon!

He does most of the time when he himself makes the mistakes.

Anyone else and they get the well known stink-eye.
