No. 2013 was my last concert and I can live with that. I couldn't bare to see Jon the way he is now.

It blows my mind that we are actually talking about 2019 now like it was decent. That just goes to show how low the bar has become...

True, but I don't think it was decent. It was bad, but I'd go to that cause nostalgia, weakness, last time, whatever. I had a great time in Vienna in 2019 regardless of voice problems. But with this trainwreck now? Jon is smarter than that fortunately.

2019 must be a typo - that is the only explanation.

Hahah I get the sentiment. It's not a typo, though. When I listen to recordings, it's very cringe and absolutely unacceptable. But being there I had a good time and the question was would I repeat the experience, with that state of vocals? Yes, I would, honestly I would at this stage.

But I don't think we're ever getting even 30% of that, without some structural change (like again new operation on vocal chords). Jon can now perhaps get through few songs on a similar level, but whole show? Then, whole tour? And even if he can, it'll still damage the legacy. But if it's the really last tour, I'm all aboard for 2019 levels again, just to say goodbye. But if it's 2022, I don't think that kind of legacy destruction is worth it in Europe

Exactly my thoughts as well.

Being based in Lithuania (where they obviously wouldn't likely play a show; although they did Estonia in 2019), it will also depend on the schedule, which market would be the most convenient on which date, what other trips I have planned around that time, etc. So in any case, I have made my piece about never seeing them again.

Aloha !

No. Last two times I was given tickets nearly for free but it's such a shitshow and a letdown so I just couldn't be bothered. Why anyone would be willing to see this band knowing Jon can't sing and the band sounds like ass is beyond me. It's like paying 4 star money to get late night, just before closing, McDonald's service.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

People are willing to go cause they are younger and/or from other parts of world and/or haven't seen them enough and want to say goodbye for personal reasons. BJ is not anymore a band that has any shot at relevancy, to say goodbye is enough of a reason for me. I would even sign to have a "tour" of sing-alongs and meet and greets or whatever they did for Forever album. In clubs, restaurants or arenas, I don't care. But if Jon's voice is at current state, I much prefer any fan meet&greet versus legacy destruction in stadium setting.
