Although Jon's voice had already somewhat declined even from March/April '13 (at least in terms of consistency), the European leg of the BWC tour got some freaking awesome shows and separate song performances. One of my biggest favorites from the whole year is the Cologne gig, where the guys actually pulled out two tour debuts (or three, if Rockin' All Over The World counts) and the overall energy + passion of the concert was absolutely stunning. Jon sounded relatively decent (not as good as in Milan and London for instance, though) as well - even amazing on Love's The Only Rule:

Those long "love..." notes are really impressive considering Jon's post-2011 standards, at least if you ask me.

There were multiple other great performances in other cities, too - like These Days in London, where (at least in terms of hitting the notes) Jon came as close to his Circle/Greatest Hits tour standards as he's ever done since the said tours to date:

And, ultimately, the entire Milan show was outstanding. Jon pretty much reached his post-'11 vocal peak there and, for once, was able to maintain it throughout a full-length gig. Both These Days and This Ain't A Love Song at the end of the concert were absolutely amazing, be it in terms of vocals (considering it was '13), passion, energy, overall delivery or whatever. Jon falling on his knees exhausted after TD reminds me of the shows on the Bounce tour, where the guy was literally rolling on the stage floor at the end of some gigs after having given his absolute all:

Even Happy Now - a song I've never been particularly fond of - sounded great in Birmingham; just listen to the way Jon belts out the "everybody's just trying to find a way home":

What kinds of memories, opinions etc. do you have of the tour?

I can only talk about the Cologne gig since I had only seen the shows in Munich, Stuttgart and Cologne in 2013. In Munich I was stunned by the showmanship and energy he put into the performance and how he kept pushing on and on (it clocked at almost 190 minutes).

In Cologne I was hoping for one or two rarities since it was the last German show but they just kept belting out one surprise after another. What really helped (besides our group singing along on top of their lungs) was that the stadium created a giant reverb on the sound, so many flaws were really drowned out and I was absolutely stunned by the Love's The Only Rule performance and the wonderfully spot-on intro Phil played to Wild Is The Wind. After the show I said "If it all should end tonight, it was the perfect ending".
It may have been my final Jovi show, but in terms of what they could've delivered in their then-current line-up it couldn't have been any better.
