I bought the album and some stuff was ok but none of it got me going. Then Richie left. It all felt so wrong. I didn't watch much of the live stuff and wasn't that interested in following the tour.
But the other day a video popped up on YouTube, I'm not sure if it's from the last gig of the tour or what but I must say I was impressed, Jon vocally pulls it out of the bag and the band sound exciting for the first time in years. I don't know if it's coz it was the last gig or what, or if Phil X has ignited something, or if he's showing how sloppy Richie has got in recent years but, if this is an example of things to come then I say bring it on. What do you guys think?
This these days is phenomenal

Hi.
I was at both shows and both of them were very good. What pissed me off was that they were carbon copy of each other. There was no escuse for that, because they had a lot of songs to pull off the bag. Days before they played Undivided, This Ain't a Love Song, Living in Sin, I'm with you, Blood on Blood, I'll be There for You and some others in Europe.
About the vocals: Jon sounded somewhat decent during the show, however, it really hurts how much they autotuned the webstream.
I'm glad I got to see them a lot during The Circle Tour. Even though I don't love the album, the tour was very good, specially Europe. You could tell from the beggining of the tour that very nice moments were about to come: The acoustic version of Something For The Pain, Richie doing Homebound Train, songs from the first two albuns … Now take the WAN tour: the first setlists of the tour were a complete snoozfest and it got worse when Richie left.
