Even if they play two hours they're putting on a longer show than the likes of Kenny Chesney, Aerosmith, and Prince.

It just happened to me once that I was at a concert that only was 90 min. and that is the reason for me not to go again to this artist. 2 hours is absolutely minimum. Less than 2 hours is not worth the lot of money you usually have to pay. It IS a ripp off.


To the original question, they rarely play 3 hours gigs nowadays anyway. Most of the shows in the past few years were between 2 and 2 1/2 hours. And Borgata was a short set with less than 2 hours and Jon had a quite long break before the show where he could look after his voice and the voice was worse than during the tour where he sang much more.

As I wrote above, anything less than 2 hours is a ripp off.
