Bono sounded great in 2019 tbh. Look at Stand By Me in Seoul. Far better than what he sounded like 10 years earlier in 2009.

Funny you mentioned Stand By Me, because my favorite performence of that song is from 2009-07-07
I would say that Bonos voiceon 2009-2011 was far superior to his voice now

Originally posted by iamcrazytonight:Bono's voice was pretty awesome in 2015. He sounded so clear and powerful at times, particularly in the Boy songs. I didn't attend any 2019 shows, but in some recordings & videos he sounds really great. There are times when you can tell he's struggling, like some times in the bridge of LIBTAIIW, but then again he belted out most of the old songs and I was like wow. I also believe 2010, 2011 were both strong vocal years for Bono.

Worse now: miss Sarajevo (no Pavarotti bit), one tree hill (only the ‘and when it’s raining..’ bit), and ultraviolet.
Better now: MOTD
Comparing E&I to 360
Worse now: nothing
Better now: stay
Everything else was really much the same to me which I’m happy about, I like Bono’s voice now. There was a bit of an iffy start to JT19 with the first show in Auckland I thought mainly with low notes but seemed like he just needed to warm into the tour and was already sounding better night 2.
