It's not that I don't notice, it's that I don't care. A live show is so much more than just watching Jon sing. It's the band playing my favourite songs of all time in amongst thousands of people who love the music just as much as me. Yes it's a shame Jon can't blow me away with his voice anymore...but like at Slane everything came together to make it a great show anyway. And that was despite the gaping hole of Sambora.
I do wish they'd just get the duds that kill the atmosphere out of the set list. I know it's to work around Jon's voice but I think I'd rather hear a struggling Always than a moderate Because We Can (the studio version I can live with but live...it was shit). But the new songs are good and fit around Jon's voice so here's hoping!
