A review by Maja / maja@jovimail.com

I'm glad that they made this cd but they kind of disappointed me with the content or better to say with some tracks. I don't want to criticise the quality of songs 'cos they are great but we have heard them before. It's a shame they putted on so many songs (3) from Zürich (because you can listen them on BJ-The crush tour on DVD and video). And BJ website bonjovi.com also gives a bonus track (One wild night) from that same concert.

The 11th track (I don't like mondays) was five years ago published on Bon Jovi These days Special Edition 2 CD set.
Each track could easily be form different concert but unfortunally isn't. Favorized are: Toronto, New York City, Melbourne.

I'm also missing more diverse cd. The selection of songs is to much similar to CD Crossroad - 8 songs are on both cds. Other are 2 from Crush, 2 from These days and two from other authors.

The band has so many fabulus songs which could be presented but they obviously don't want to present them. If it was in my power to choose songs for this album I would choose these: (form Bon Jovi) Shot through the heart or Burning for love, (from 7800 Fahrenheit - a hard choice) Price of love, (from Slippery when wet) You give love a bad name, Wanted dead or alive, I'd die for you, (from New Jersey) Wild is the wind, Stick to your guns, (from Keep the faith) I believe, Dry county, (from Crossroads) Someday I'll be saturday night, (from These days) If that's what it takes, These days, (from Crush) Captain Crash & the beauty queen from mars, I got the girl, On wild night.

They could also make an album from american or evropean tour so that every song could be from different concert. A suggestion for the future.

OK this is all I wanted to say. Have a great time while listening to BJ!!!
