The main set was identical to that of the first night (I kind of thought they'd at least swap "New Year's Day" out for "The Devil's in the Temple", which used to be in that slot. Maybe I'm overly optimistic!). But we did get "Always" and "Captain Crash" for the third and second time this tour respectively -- they replaced "Raise Your Hands" in the encore. Phil sang the second verse of "Wanted" again, presumably because he's originally from Toronto, but he does sound good... Dare I say a lot stronger than Jon does these days. 😞 (However, I've said on various forums that the Lost Highway Tour proved Jon could get back to sounding awesome after a period of deterioration in his voice, so I'm hopeful that he could return to that level again.)
Videos from Toronto, Night #2
In my opinion, this is the best "Always" of the tour thus far:

Were you at this show?
Not a bad encore set, I would have been very happy with that. Main set still is predictable, stagnant and boring.
ReplyDeleteHe's singing a little more powerfully now, he definitely needed the break. Maybe you're right about him being able get his voice back to the point where he was toward the end of The Circle Tour in 2011.
ReplyDeleteHe fucking blows
ReplyDeleteI thought Always was ok. I think the more he sings it the better it will get but key is.....he needs to start singing in. Phil nailed that solo!!! I thought his voice in Captain was soft.....almost like a whisper. No power or upbeat in his voice.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's the matter with Jon. He showed us that he can sing powerfully in Always but then he uses his "whisper" voice on the other songs. Please Jon, give us something to believe in. Not the song, show us that there's still a part of that awesome singer hidden inside of you. Prove that you can handle a tour like you showed us in the circle / open air tour
