Oh man, I missed a not-awful version of In These Arms.
I totally get the "You think this is good vocals? Are you that resigned that this is the best you expect from Jon?" comments I see on this thread because yes, we have ears and the improvement from the start of the tour, while steady, is very small. I was actually pretty shocked with the first BTBMB, I even posted here how horrible it was because I couldn't believe that song would be so difficult to sing. And now looking back... it hasn't changed a lot tbh.

But:
1. If you compare how bad the start of the LH tour was (Jon's voice was weak and his performances were very criticized, here and in other boards) and how it turned out to be after many many shows, in fact after 2 whole legs if I remember correctly AND
2. An aging voice is going to decline faster and faster with each passing year, no matter what

I understand the hopes of many and the leniency, if you may. While I don't believe that this will become the LH tour part 2 (mainly because Jon has been trying to improve since 2015! and I don't see how this can improve any further), it seems that Jon is confident with this voice. And with his confidence back, there's a bigger chance of an European stadium tour next summer at the same level it's always been.

Edit because it's not clear at all: this was a reply to other posts, not to GabrielC, his post reminded me that I was going to comment on this
