Travelling the world is just not for everyone. Most people hate the constant change of surroundings, the waiting at airports and waiting to get from a to b. It's not just getting to the show, it's getting in your airplane, in your tourbus, in your hotel room. It's all 5 stars but the waiting is still the same. If you can't enjoy that, you won't enjoy touring. It also doesn't help if you're like Jon and spend your time on the road in your hotel room as opposed to actually doing some sightseeing it gets lonely and boring quite soon. I've started travelling the world 5 years ago and I reckon I've seen more of the world than Jon has in the 35 years he's spend touring it.
Now usually the shows are the things that make it all worth it but nowadays he's barely able to make it through a song, let alone an entire show without ****ing up somewhere. With all the smiles, waves and pointing he does after he butchers something he comes across as some nervous wreck who knows he's in a desperate need to cover up the many mistakes he makes every night. He's not got much to worry about when it comes to his audiences when people still go and buy tickets for this cluster**** and say performances like Sat. Night from this show are worth "a 7,5" or "not that bad". It really shows how much faith he has in his own material. He could loosen up a bit yet it's remarkable how he can't do shows on autopilot anymore and it's more boring than ever.
