I have finally come around to watch these clips. Can't believe what a difference it makes when Jon is like this. I smiled through entire LOAP simply because Jon put on a "believeable" performance for once. This really makes it obvious how much it means to a Bon Jovi show if Jon brings his A-game as a front man. Take a song like Roller Coaster - having Jon work the stage like that took it to another level as a live song.

Only shame is how inconsistent he is. It suck that you have to worry that you either get a statue behind the mic stand that seems to want nothing more than to get of the stage - or a great front man like the closing shows here in Australia. It's like a different front man if you compare the Tokyo show to the Sydney show.
