And as far as the main question of the thread goes - no, they obviously haven't, only a naive person could believe that. That's just the rough estimation on the no. of songs they "know", meaning they have been played in the last 6-7 years or so and are thus on the sample list in David's equipment.

Otherwise, they'd have played more than 30 of them so far.

That was a joke, as you might have noticed, although you're being overly critical once again. "Can't even touch the right key" is just over the top. Yeah, there are some bum notes here and there, but they key is quite right. Without pitch adjustments. And no, I'm not one to blindly defend Jon, but that's just too much criticism for me...

Greenville was OK, but it was Jon going at 120% and remains by far his best vocal performance, thus it's not sustainable, nor representative.

The Forum performance of Always is the definition of not being able to touch the right key. He didn't nail a single "WILL love you" "FOREVER and a day" "don't SHINE", "words don't RHYME".

Saturday Night attempts were a tad better, but it's still obvious that the vocal demands is the reason why it was dropped soon afterwards.

Really?

At the start of the second chorus (around 1:45), Jon actually hits the "will love you". It's, of course, a serious shout fest and doesn't really sound pleasant (to my ears at least), but he's in tune. The same goes for the start of the third chorus (around 3:23). However, the first and last choruses are flat and weak all the way through.
