Same here, even though I've heard both equally often.
I absolutely agree that it probably was a great concert and Jon is trying much harder to be a proper frontman than he did from 2015-17. When I was Cologne, I though that he had sounded fantastic, only to realize on the bootleg that it was rather average.
It's great to hear that you can still enjoy it a lot when you're there (Thierry said the same), but all we have here are the videos and, well, it didn't sound good on there.
But at least he finally gave you some changes, unlike at the NMS shows in 2013 where it was basically the same on both nights.

Jon was much more like the frontman I remember - though without the voice. But still - he sounds good enough on some songs and some parts of songs that there is never a doubt as to who is singing. He still sounds like himself, just not all the time and he can't hit any of the higher notes anymore. Ronny said that the crowd was better on night 1 - I can tell you that Jon really worked that crowd last night until finally he had them eating out of his hand.
And here is a story from today. I was at my local farm buying veggies (despite what people think Northern Jersey has many working farms that are awesome). As I was checking out, a cashier about 21 years old came up to me and asked me if I was at the show last night. She saw my tattoo :D She was there too and she loved the show. So the almost 70 year old and the 21 year old both thought the show was great.
There is always a little voice in the back of my mind that says - this might be the last one. Pay attention and enjoy it. So I did :D |
