Show me an actual scientific study that proves that. Good wine is just grape juice with a little extra punch. 5 a day remember, keeps your mind sharp and body young. Wine is actually an important part of the healthiest diet of all, isn't it? There's a reason why we Mediterraneans have higher "recommended" alcohol units per person. You are mistaking the cheap wine you northerners drink by the gallon when visiting warm lands, the kind of wine that gives you the worst headache and makes you cry bitter tears of regret the next morning
I don't drink that, ever, therefore it's not the wine making me miserable.

While I usually agree with you, this was actually an okay performance. As Walleris rightfully pointed out, it fell apart after the solo vocally. They won't stop sounding like a cover band on the older stuff because there simply are too many hired guns on the stage by now.
And as much as I liked that Jon and Richie shared the stage on the Hall of Fame, the quality of their performance wasn't any better either.

Totally agree about the HOF and I'll go even further and say *I* wouldn't want Richie back, he's clearly not fitted for the band or that kind of live anymore. What I want are the good times back and that's plain wishful thinking. It just wouldn't be the same. It sucks to have the band end like this. It sucks to miss Richie so much but at the same time to know it's for the best.
When I watch the current performances I feel they lack the BJ-ness that kept me a fan through all the disappointment of the Shanks era. It wasn't that great in 2013 with Richie on board.
That was the moment my disconnect from the band started. But at the same time it is impossible to enjoy something if you are missing a key ingredient. Not very objective, I know.
