Well... if that's the setlist I'm kind of excited!!!
Reviews... please

The band looked and sound great. The vocals were obviously doctored however, Jon sounded pretty decent. Probably the best he sounded in a long time. The songs actually sounded like they should. I put them on a 2015 level (The show was broadcast on FM Radio so I'm sure someone recorded it and will post it soon).

Jon's performance was much better than On A Night Like This but you could still tell there was no audience. There were times when he didn't know what to do but like I said, he was much better than the last one...

The experience itself was what you made of it. Definitely more low key. A few fans tried bringing some of it to life but nothing caught on... There was a 20 second encore between Prayer and Wanted that stated "make some noise" so everyone was honking their horns. That was the most fan interaction I saw.

They were letting people sit in chairs by their cars... If you went with a group, snuck in a few drinks, and just sat back and watched, it was for you... If you were pretending to be at a Bon Jovi concert, then you were probably bored.

I was looking around and some were just chillin, enjoying the evening and others were bored out of their minds.

Jon's vocals definitely improved over the last 2 years. You can tell that he's changing technique and his been working with a vocalist daily.

Still, he is still very stiff quite often, but when he gets in a grove and relaxes, you get this:

And I love this part!

Not the kind of a setlist I was expecting (2 new songs + the rest complete vanilla). Very surprised to see Roller Coaster in there, I thought that one would be buried for eternity after South America 2019.

Judging by the video above, Jon's pitch sounds doctored, but his tone is MUCH better than in 2018-19. He's actually singing instead of whispering and just sounds far stronger for that.

The ending of HAND was kickass, and the "YEAH yeah yeah" during KTF... wow. Obviously there's still a very long way to go, and I still don't think Jon will ever be a good singer again, but considering the starting point I think this is a pretty big step in the right direction!

It's hard to give an honest opinion given Jon's voice has been doctored to such an extent you begin to forget he had any problems in the first place. I'd say that private show the other day is a more accurate representation of his current vocal state, and that was, well... terrible quite frankly.

People who are saying Jon’s voice has improved must be extremely naive. This performance has been doctored to hell. As James said the real state of his voice is that private show.

You know who is proclaiming on Twitter that Jon sounds absolutely great and the show is the best thing since sliced bread.

I know.

He should f*ck off, quite simply.
