He struggles on nearly everything. Those who says he dont either refuse to accept it or cant remove their BJ Blinkers.

why, o, why Johnny ?
The verses weren't unbearable but the choruses... geez.

At this point, I think Jon is trying to prove himself he's still got it.
Sure Jon, you're not a walking corpse or anything but damn, CHANGE THE KEY IF YOU WANNA DO THESE SONGS LIVE - seriously, no shame in admitting your vocal range isn't the same. it's better than sounding like Herb the perv from Family Guy.

He does, no doubt about that. But so far the recent stuff has at least been at a degree where I said that it's not really fun to watch on YT anymore, but probably good enough to enjoy it when you're there and there are enough factors to drown out the problems in the heat of the moment.
However, this TD performance was really hard to watch.

I'm not so sure about that. If I could only hear one I'd pick These Days 10 out of 10 times. I love Dry County, but These Days is a really special song.

I genuinely feel sorry for those fans who never saw them live at their peak.

The effort is there, but for every baby step forward, there’s several bigger steps back. Surely it’s time for Jon to think long and hard about whether to continue or not?

Yes it is. I have heard Dry County many, many times. But counting last night I have only heard These Days 3 times here in New York. I heard it several times in Europe though. Was it perfect last night? - no - but I didn't expect it to be. I got to hear it sung by the guy who made me fall in love with it. Jon worked his ass off last night and it showed - it was a very high energy show.

So you're not going to hear me diss any part of last night's show.

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.
