Jon started out singing and screaming like a 12 year old girl. That’s what the 80s metal, rock and roll required.

No man can continue to do that forever especially into their 40s and 50s on (except Steven Tyler but he’s had surgery and is the exception). Jon’s speaking voice has lowered over the years. I give him credit for still singing the songs that were for a 12 year old girl - it has to be tough as heck.

These casual fans should know this. Not for them to be disappointed but for them to be finally aware of his voice. Hearing them say that his voice is still good sounds pretty ironic for me.

I'd say 2011.

I think 2011 was the last time he really did sound good.
Early 2013 didn't sound that bad honestly though.

2010 without a doubt.

2011 had great shows but in terms of vocal performance, 2005 and 2010 are the years I keep coming back to when I'm in the mood for some live BJ (post Bounce era, I mean, of course 2002 and part of 2003 were the latest classic performances).

it´s not the same today, but i still enjoy every second of Bon Jovi LIVE 2018 !!!

this is surprisingly very, very strong. Prudential 2nd night, 2018
especially after 1:17 mark

Always from Madrid 2013 was pretty damn good, too:

Pretty good indeed. Also, Phil played the solo much better in 2017 (see Los Angeles). Hopefully he gets more chances this tour.

I saw him 2008, 2010, 2013 and 2019 in Europe.

In 2008 and 2010 I thought he sounded great, letting you go sounded phenomenal. 2013 I was pleasantly surprised - he sounded good. 2019 he was obviously struggling, he's pretty reliant on the roar of the stadium and Shanks, Phil and Dave backing vocals
