I’m struggling to find something positive about this “tour”.
What makes me really sad is to realize that Jon simply can’t do it anymore. Why doesn’t he do something special like the Prayer opening every show ? I think it’s safe to say that he can’t afford it physically plus he doesn’t care anymore. Sure, if you dissect every song you’ll find some glances of his past there, but for every good thing you find there are a lot of bad ones. It seems that just going through a safe 20 song setlist is an exhausting marathon for him nowadays.
They tried to bring back some songs, an acoustic set … and the idea was much better than the execution. He couldn’t carry on LTOR, Just Older was very flat and powerless, and the acoustic set was a snooze fest. All because he can’t do it anymore.
Yes, I know most casuals still have a good time. Even some diehards. As for myself, I won’t spend a cent on a very dull sound together with a very limited Jon. They’re done as a live band for me.
Cheers
