I think you are blowing it out of proportion. I have seen better, but the Berlin show was worse for me and so was the first night at the O2. The band is still able to put on a very good concert which Wembley, among others, was. Didn't people here were praising the Holland show, Dublin, Wembley? It wasn't magical but it wasn't like seeing a tribute band either.

Jon's voice is absolutely on the edge, no matter how hard he's trying (and he was trying hard yesterday). But he was behind the beat on the verses of at least half of the songs last night.

Tico also had his slight off moments, especially in the beginning of KTF.

I'm glad I had a great time (despite going through very difficult times [emoji53]). I took my brother, who went to his first rock concert ever. He is into techno. He said he enjoyed it, he was fascinated with the people.
Maybe I'm getting old, or it's been a really long time since I saw the band, or I had no expectations but I was surprised and satisfied. The atmosphere was energetic. I don't have any chance to see such huge crowds, moreover so dedicated to have good fun and enjoy the show.
Even the flow of the show was ok for me. The vocals got drowned in the crowd. I really didn't pay attention to any flaws. That's what will always make live shows so unique. When you build a holiday around it, do bit of sightseeing but mainly have a great time with other people.

I had one big wish - Roller Coaster and it got played [emoji846] for some reasons I wanted I'll Be There For You to get played rather than Always. I also hoped for something else than dreadful Amen and got These Days.
I still don't need LH, Who Says or Captain Crash (the only song my brother sat down for beacuse it was boring).
My brother knows BJ music because I tormented him with it when shared a room as kids. Therefore he has some favourites. His number one is King Of The Mountain [emoji16] then If I Was Your Mother, Say It Isn't So, Everyday and Last Cigarette. [emoji16][emoji16]

It was great catching up again, even if it only was for a short amount of time!

Genuinely shocked at this set list and Düsseldorf tbf. Wasn’t there but FFS come on this is Munich! Maybe in the past we were spoiled, I don’t know but compare this to the German sets from 06 and 08. Unless things massively change I won’t be travelling for them again. For a man who brags about a 36 year career and doesn’t sing much more than 30 songs in a European tour is very very poor. No excuses, if you can sing ITA you can can pretty much sing anything.

I originally was planning Madrid but decided on Dublin, can’t see anything making me regret that decision tonight (famous last words)

Video of Jon’s speech during Radio from Munich 06 sorry buts like watching a different band.

Strange but I thought the band were solid, it was not a boring show and they sounded good, they clearly have good memories of playing the stadium and that seemed to hype them up. Some set lists changes from Düsseldorf and I initially thought rollercoaster was gonna hit a bum note with some silence around me in the circle but they got going. These days early was good, David on ITA though his mike was to low initially was good. Now for a band that say they love Munich I don’t think they showed it with set list changes or additional songs. 22 songs is nowadays the norm. The arena tours on the US legs got that bar a couple and while the stadium tours used to get more it’s seems that the band can’t / don’t want to play more than that. Both Dublin got shows got more and they were better for it.

I have also missed the covers on this tour, adding snippets into a couple songs was fun.

Possibly glad I have not invested in more gigs this year, the lack of set list changes after 4 European shows means this is more of a greatest hits tour than THINFS. However I look forward to seeing them in the US after a new album and I think it’s the time to catch songs from it rather than waiting on another European tour

I was at the Munich show as well and would mostly agree with Kevs. I had a really great time. And concerning the relatively short show, I just think it's because Jon was done at that point. in fact, I think the combo Keep the Faith/These Days killed his voice after a quite good start (for 2019 standards). Vocally, IBTFY and Prayer were shambles... Still it really seemed to me that the band were enjoying themselves, and if it weren't for the voice situation (or maybe Tico, even though I think he did a great job).
Rollercoaster was surprisingly well received by the crowd where I was. I'm glad we got it instead of WLOL. Also I was very happy to get WDR and These Days (even though that one sounded quite terrific). On the other hand, I could have done without Who Says and Captain Crash, but the people around me seemed to have enjoyed that very much, so fair enough.
Yes, the lack of rarities was disapppointing. But I guess that's as much as we will get from now on. However, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the band again when the new Album comes out. But I'm 99,9% sure that I won't be spending money to go to multiple shows, especially considering how expensive the tickets have become.

PS: to my surprise, Shanks didn't bother me. I think he's done quite well (disclaimer: I was on the other side of the stage). But I didn't really see the point in having Everett, except of course his backing vocals... But come on, bongos and percussion?
