ouch... that's about the roughest performance I've ever seen by them.

At least Brisbane 2013 was much worse:

That terrible nasal tone combined with Jon being unable to hit a single note (whereas in Milwaukee he hits pretty much every "LIVE forever" part and doesn't sound nasal at all) makes it far more of a painful experience.

I guess I don't see it. Every single video I've seen from 2013 has been better than any performance from 2017/2018. That one from Milwaukee is so much worse than the Brisbane one. At least in 2013 Jon would be in time with the song. I don't give a damn if he can hit the notes if they're half a measure late.

I don't know, maybe that's just me. I'd rather have the correct phrasing over "passable" vocals.

Both performances were pretty much horrendous. If we had a Soundboard recording of the current one, it'd be much worse as well.
But IML is a song that has rarely been good live in terms of transporting the energy from the album cut onto the stage.

The question is, why is his timing so badly off nowadays? Does he have trouble hearing himself and/or the band, is he unable to breathe properly between phrases, or...?

OFF topic but I ha e the feeling we ve missed threads for some concerts lately.. Wasssssuuupp ?? Yovana, zakatar, Salamaleikum, Godavekeys !! I have a hard working day so I'm hardly gonna create a thread myself, but you guys let's gooo !! :D

I guess we work too and we have a life beside BJ >_< jajaj; but we’re okay, tonight is the next concert, let’s go! >_< jajaj

Really? Did you guys miss the 2017 tour when he whispered his way through the songs? His timing is off here but at least he’s actually singing now.

Well that kind of ties in with what I said above. The bad phrasing is more egregious to me than bad vocals from 2017.

Oh well, Dry County wasn't too bad. Jon sounded bad on the verses but got a little stronger on the pre-chorus and the chorus itself. His avoided some voice cracks throughout the song. The long guitar solo, which is my favourite part of the song, was kinda butchered. Phil just isn't influenced by the blues, unlike Richie. This unfortunately means that he can never completely nail some of those solos.
