We'd had glimpses on this tour, but this was the confirmation that Jon had rekindled something in his voice we all thought he'd lost. New technique, slightly different arrival point on certain notes, but a pitch we hadn't heard for years. It was a shock, honestly. Hear the woman say 'oh wow' as he nails the end of the second chorus. I guess we had about 3 years of this voice

Thanks for this. I remember the moment. Now, it seems 5 years is nothing (2019 from todays perspective), but somehow then it seemed that song was not performed in eternity. I guess similar to how Prayer and Its my life are 14 years apart (only!). Then it seemed as completely different eras of music. Now, 14 years has passed since The Circle (and more), but no change in style basically
EDIT: I say 5 years, because apparently Always in original was last performed in 2003, as stated under the video
