The remix worked really well and the crowd seemed to enjoy it. Another way to reach the younger audience, well done!

Waiting for the "His voice was just like on the record " comments

The surgery has worked wonders!:)

:lol!::lol!:

Why no guitar solo?????

I blame Shanks

At 1:49 i noticed that they also used the Gospel version...

Ask to Armin van Buuren:mrgreen:

That was pretty cool!

nice ...

jon looks happy!

Some of the guitar melodies i believe would also work

In this period Jon seems cooler and happier than 2020, THINFS and WAN eras.

This is completely out of character for Jon, pretty awesome to see him loosening up more. Who cares if it was only a backing track, it was great seeing him jump around and actually have fun.

Yep, he looked relaxed and happy, which is nice considering how odd an environment this is for him. Usually, when he has to mime he goes over the top to show his displeasure to the camera. This looked different.

You can kinda hear him sing more clearly in this video

Love how happy he seems.

I enjoyed it. It's weird at first but he looks great.

Going on stage devils horns in the air |,,/ - when has he ever done that at his own concert? Is it just me or does he seem a bit more comfortable with actually being a rocker. Say, giving a lengthy interview to Ultimate Classic Rock with a 30 year old metal dude calling him brother with Metallica posters in the background. I mean...
And yeah - I hear some glimpses of a voice there, who knows who knows...

Skip to 38:40. Armin mentions buying Bon Jovi records as a kid, pretty odd for a trance DJ.

And to me Jon didn't look comfortable at all in the first minute or so; it was pretty (understandably) awkward considering he was not in his element, but he got better as the track progressed.

BTW, the remix is dope, but as all festival mix it includes mashups with other tracks (I hear Swedish House Mafia's Greyound in it). Let's hear how the studio version sound.

Why is that odd? Lots of people have eclectic tastes in music.

Another video that gives some nicer audio. You can hear more of what parts Jon sings. It's definitely not lip syncing so that's cool :) Also around the 2 minute mark there's some nice vocals, not amazing just better

Really cool.


At 2:07 that rasp was another part took from the gospel version like i already mentioned, wasn’t live right????

In this video this part seems almost live…

It really looks live. And promising :D

If you want to hear Jon's live vocals this is the clearest video:

Ok, I'm really liking the return of the Raspyness! Feels like it's been a while...

Yeah, that at 1:25 is definitely live. Ofc its only one raspy line, but compared to last tour, he's not 2 seconds behind and whole key lower. Hope perhaps :mrgreen:

You need to take one thing into account here. Since the mix is in the original key, Jon had to also sing in the original key, which they don't do when preforming live. (it's half or a full step down)

Apart from that part at 1.25, the rest of it he sounded ****ing dreadful.

I agree... There are no major improvements since 2021 - Or maybe slight but nothing to get excited about. He might have the ability to keep up instead of running out of air but aside from that, he has a long way to go.

I'm not saying there are improvements, but we cannot possibly know from that "performance". He was unprepared, took a random mic and threw in a few phrases while kind of listening to stereo monitors behind the DJ.

Example that gives us knowledge where he is is that performance before Grammys. While shaky and not very good, there was a semblance of normal vocalist there for, e.g. Who Says. In other words, he wasn't in utter pain and discomfort as in 2022, that was horrendous. Can he become better and get stamina for not just whole concert, but a whole tour, one can hope

During the musicares Jon did a good Job and he seamed really happy that night.

Now every little improvement it's welcome and recently he seems in a good mood and sometimes also in "Cool guy mode", more than previous years.
