The vocals have improved, probably as much as we can expect. Are they amazing?...far from it...BUT the real improvement for me has been Jon as a front man. It's been nice to see his confidence grow over these shows and see him actually working the stage again, and mostly looking like he's having fun again!

I think these shows were really make or break for the band as far as continuing as a live act is concerned. If Jon felt these shows didn't work then next year wouldn't have happened. It's no coincidence that before these shows Phil said Eurpe next year "maybe", then a few shows in it got changed to "definitely"....
