Fair play, that was a top effort from Jon. I always thought he could still pull it off, but not as good as that!!

Shouldnt be played every night as that probably would do more harm than good, but hopefully it'll be played a few more times (and definitely at Twickers!)

Now maybe those that have said "He sounded amazing in Canada" will believe us. Especially those that have not been to a show yet.

Hearing this and Damned on youtube makes me even more frustrated we dont get these gems more often.

THIS song should be in every set list (or at least more than 50%) if he can sing it like that.

Found another one:

Audio only - Always, Des Moines - April 20th, 2008

**** me, that's good. I never thought we'd hear 'Always' sung that good again. So now that we know he can pull off 'Damned', 'Blaze of Glory' and 'Always', what's stopping Jon from pulling out other songs that require vocal range (or atleast not bastardizing 'Bed of Roses' anymore)?

yeah, from a selfish point of view I heard Always in Cardiff 2001 so I would love to hear Bed of Roses done properly

WOW i new he cud still do it! Fingers crossed for twickenham!!:D

When was the last time Always was played in original form? Sometime on the Bounce tour??

i thought it was the one wild night tour ? but i'm not certain

Aloha !

March 3, 2003, Pepsi Arena, Albany. The version they did on this tour pisses all over that one though.

The reason why he can sing this song, but not BOR is because he CAN hit the high notes...but he CAN'T make his voice sound husky and raspy like he could 1992...
