No, I'm not bipolar and I'm not saying this can't be a great night for anyone who's there.
I said Tallinn was a great show for the period (mostly due to These Days and Blood On Blood, which I had been wanting to hear since forever, but also due to Jon's still-continuing capabilities as a frontman). Yes, his vocals sucked ass on some songs, and he completely ran out of steam after Blood On Blood, but I don't think it ruined the experience for me.
However, the Stockholm gig a couple of days later was of EXTREMELY poor standard, as was Sonderborg, so after all me being relatively content with the Tallinn show was a short-lived bright spot in a sea of (mostly) turds and I don't think (m)any of us can argue over that Jon's voice was in a far better condition and the set lists contained way more of our favorite songs due to Jon's better vocals even as lately as in mid-2013. Or, honestly, could anyone of us think Jon would be able to pull off a song like TAALS nowadays? Well, he did it 6 years ago - not perfectly, but much, much, much better than he'd ever be capable of today:
