I actually just finished opening a new one and putting it on the charger right now. Have another one, but it has issues getting juiced up.

Just in time for Vegas.

I really enjoyed myself. I think the five years between shows really helped me appreciate things more.

I loved hearing When We Were Us. I've gotten married and had a kid since my last show so it's cool that as as big things happen in my life, I still have this band to celebrate with.

I went in with no expectations, and yes, the setlist was really nothing special, but it meant something to me.

I'll be going to the Orlando show in four weeks and I'm hoping for some changes but if not, that's OK. I'm happy that I can still sing these songs that have meant so much to my family and I over the last 30 some years.

Just finished watching the FB stream. Jon can't even sing ILTT anymore...

And no, BOR wasn't good at all. It was a complete shoutfest, Jon sang the first chorus largely out of tune and Phil totally messed up one of his licks. It must have been the worst version I've ever heard of the song. Actually, I can't think of a single song where he sounded even decent - let alone good - last night. I'm afraid we're back to Birmingham/Nashville '17 standards, permanently...

Time to pack it in, boys. This is embarrassing.

You may think he can't sing or perform anymore, but can you say you can look this hot like he does? jealous hater! From what I saw on FB, he sounded as good as he can now at 56, too bad you and several here lost faith in Jon, but he looked happy and enjoying himself, too bad your so spiteful that you can't just enjoy him oh well, like I said, jealous hater, yes I said it!

Alright, calm down, calm down...

First of all, I'm not a hater. If you just took the time to read through some of my posts here, you'd see that I'm actually the first to praise Jon if he sounds good and performs at the level we all know he can (or at least could).

However, his vocals last night were legitimately painful to listen to. I don't think anyone can really be jealous of a singer who's completely lost his singing ability. I'm pretty sure you can hear better singing at the local bar's karaoke anytime.

If Jon manages to completely butcher a song as easy as I Love This Town, I'm afraid to say he's lost it. No need to sugarcoat a simple fact - he's done. No, I honestly don't think this even counts as an opinion anymore; it's more true than false, I'd say.

PS. Jon could look like Britney Spears and yet it wouldn't distract me from thinking he can't sing for shit anymore.

This is just sad.

06. When We Were Us (1st time ever at a full-length show)
07. Born to Be My Baby
08. Who Says You Can't Go Home
09. It's My Life
10. We Weren't Born to Follow
11. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
12. We Got it Going on
13. Keep the Faith
14. Amen (1st time since 2013)
15. Bed of Roses
16. Lay Your Hands on Me
17. God Bless This Mess
18. Have a Nice Day
19. Bad Medicine

20. I Love This Town (1st time since 2013)
21. Wanted Dead or Alive
22. Livin' on a Prayer

Overall, a little disappointing, especially with four different Lost Highway songs. Although Amen was a nice little surprise. At least Captain Crash wasn't performed! I was kinda expecting Always, I'll Be There For You, Runaway, or Blood on Blood to appear in the encore though. Also the lack of Walls is surprising.

Dreadful set list. Jon sounds like shit during I Love This Town.

His vocals on ILTT honestly made me think whether to laugh or cry... I mean, it's such an easy song, and yet Jon can't sing it even close to the right key. It made BWC from Phoenix '17 sound like Always from Milwaukee '95 (well, not really, but still...).

PS. Why does Rosa always seem to get so angry when we criticize Jon's performances? I mean, it's more than obvious that Jon's voice is gone. If she still manages to enjoy the shows, fine. However, it's not like we have to pretend it to be better than it is, when in reality Jon sounds absolutely horrifying for any age.

PS Vol.2. Is it just me, or are my posts slowly starting to resemble Seb's ones?

That really is ultimately the attitude I have when I go to shows now, in stark contrast to the whining and moaning here. Whatever happens at these shows, ultimately I am spending an evening with a band that has meant so much to me throughout my life.
