Even though he could still sing well that was him on "auto-pilot" mode, acting like he couldn't wait to get off stage as he breezed through the hits. The leg before it and after it contained some of the best shows of their career which is what makes it so disappointing. I really don't know why they didn't just postpone those shows until after the European leg in August/Sept, that would've been the right thing to do instead of just phoning it in for 15 shows.
With all of that said the setlist in Montreal on that leg looked pretty good. It's like Jon was just trolling American audiences at that point.

Montreal and Toronto, while generally pretty vanilla sets, got one lesser-played song at just about every show until 2013. Thinking back we've gotten Living in Sin, Wild is the Wind, I Got The Girl, Miss 4th of July, Garageland, I Get a Rush, Dry County, Damned twice. Then it all just....stopped. |
