Although Jon sounds decent, it's not worth 45 bucks with shipping... if he did this from 88 to 96, I'd be poor but now....

Yeah, it's great by recent standards, but, to be frank, they are pretty low.

Still, it's great to be able to enjoy KTF without having to anticipate a "Bobbied" solo closing it.

I will never tire of hearing the instrumental section of KTF. It gets me every time. If I ever attend a Jovi concert without KTF I will feel ripped off.

I'll tell you, this stream sounds really good for AUD... Too bad no one is recording it

OMG !!!!

ALWAYS! Yessss! Cmon Jon, do it justice.

Holy shit - Always :D

Would never guess for him to pull a song like this out on the first show of the tour.

NO way! NOT BAD AT ALL!!!

Wow.

His voice sounds strong.

He's struggling with this one. First time of the night he sounds not so good. I can forgive him though, he's done better than we all expected.

Ugh I LOVE the Always solo when it just bursts in.

Strong, but rather forced. I fear that not much of his voice will be left in a few weeks if he continues to throw out his voice every (other) night :/

Yeah but he still sounds stronger than he has.

I expected to hear some nasal notes in certain areas of the song, but he surprised me!

I wonder if he'll go for the acapella chorus at the end.

Best he's done with this song in years.

Is that Shanks on the solo?

Obviously he's struggling, but it's far better than I thought. I can live with it sounding like this rather than hearing the TLFR version or not hearing it at all.

Phil really respects that solo. It's closer to the album version than Richie has ever played... even the tremolo. Let's see if he can give the outro solo justice

While Jon sounds better than I expected on Always (the first chorus started rough), he can't do this every other night.

I'm not going that far.

Very true! Hey, I'm happy! It gives me hope for future shows if he can keep it up. We just need to work on that first half of the setlist haha.

Also, just realised no Born Again Tomorrow yet?

Also also, did I mention that I LOVE this outro solo as well. It's gotta be one of my fav live songs.

Well dam. He pulled off that final chorus not too bad.

Wow - I'll take it - thanks Jon.

Good for Jon to finish Always strong!

I loved the solo and hey, that was a good ending!!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Always!!!! That was pretty impressive...I mean not perfect but he's definitely come a long ways... I'll give it to him...

I have to agree on this one, the last chorus was actually pretty strong imo.

Yep, I am missing it, too.

Is it bad that I'm getting a little emotional listening to Jon talk about his voice and how hard he's worked on it? lol.

Jon's talking about working on his voice. And his goal to sing Always the first night. Wow.


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

He did indeed - but he he got back on that fcuking stage and sang it. :D

He should be proud. He did it justice.

It had been unlistenable for a long time.

I'm right there with you. Proves that his heart is still in it. It takes some balls to go up and sing Always the first night of the tour after having had your worst vocal crisis of you career.

I've been listening to some 2010/2011 live material recently, and was caught by surprise how nasal he sounded back then at some points, even though he could use a very large ambitus. Still, the elimination of nasality is really good news. It just sounds way better.

He's sounding damn fine on Wanted too.

Phil's gotta work on that solo for Wanted (assuming it's him)
