Jon's voice on the Crush/OWN tour
Many of you say Jon's voice started declining in 1996 (so do I, actually), but in my ears he was still very good in 2000-01. His high notes (especially the longer belts, like the last chorus of BOR) were not as consistent as previously anymore, but as a whole he still had a great range and mostly did perfect justice to the songs they played live at the time.
Personally, I find his 2001 voice largely better than his '00 one. Especially during the spring in Japan (STBI from Nagoya and Hey God from Osaka were absolutely brilliant, for example) as well as at some of the US shows he was on absolute fire, constantly pulling out very strong vocals. The trend continued in Europe, where something like Always from Cardiff wasn't far off Jon's 1995 standards. And of course the stunning performances of KTF and IBTFY on Giants night #2 were the icing on the cake, pretty much ending Jon's "vintage" vocal era...
What do you think?
