If they are gonna play Dry County or even Hey God then it's gonna probably be in one of their Canada shows maybe Montreal.

Jon sounded damn good on IBTFY:

Especially that long "or there when you were doooooowwwn..." sounds great!

He also did unexpectedly well on KTF:

Face it, Jon's not 100% done. His voice is still shot for the most part which is a shame of course, but it's not unlistenable like it was in late 2013-early 2017, and now that he's again the frontman he used to be, I'm happy with this version of Bon Jovi overall.

What about Always? My bets are on MSG, Toronto and Montreal.

Can't wait to see Runaway, BOR, LYHOM, BOB and Prayer, seems like it was a great night for Jon.

I'll Be There For You was decent during the first 3 minutes and then at the third verse Jon completely fell apart and sounded terribly even on the chorus (which he sounded OK-ish the first 2 times). Which once again proves my '120% theory'

It's still good that they did this song and it should be done more often. It doesn't sound like a complete trainwreck and is a massive hit.

Very rarely I comment on Jon's voice having improved (because it hasn't) BUT that IBTFY was actually more than decent. I really enjoyed the performance very much. That song should be a staple, it's just a terrific live song and the entire audience knows it.

It's one of Richie's absolute fave songs and he was the primary writer so, taken into account what happened a few years back, no wonder Jon was avoiding this one. Loved the performance, Jon sounded awesome and even added some ad-libs!

Don't you really think Jon's voice has improved since last spring?

His tone is still rough and fragile, but this year he sounds way more natural/"like himself" and lately seems to have regained some range that he mostly lacked last year as well.

The first few bars of Shanks' KTF solo were like having Bobby back in the house haha not to jinx anything but things do seem to be getting better. I'm not sure if they've changed the key of IBTFY or whether Jon's just singing more of it an octave down than I remember before but whichever, it's working.
