Whilst that is indeed true, I'm struggling to get my head round how its gone so far downhill so quickly. He moved around plenty at HRC 2011 and his leg was totally screwed. Even the 2012 shows like the one in Canada, plenty of movement, so its not like comparing the 80s to now, its a world away from even a year ago.

I don't know how many times Jon can be excused for having a cold or being ill every time. He seems to have a permanent cold whenever he puts in a shonky vocal performance. I really don't know, again not overly concerned, YET, for Europe as its a different kettle of fish, but you do wonder how long it will be before the US fans vote with their feet and just don't bother next time around- after the Phil X shows and shocking setlists last tour, to get more dreadful setlists and a static frontman this time around I don't know what they have to do to piss them off, or maybe most of them don't even care.
