A review by Rex / retesh77@yahoo.com

I'm a big-time Bon Jovi fan and I attended my 3rd concert at SJ. I sat in the 2nd level but with a great view of the band.

The Goo Goo Dolls, by the way, were impressive and was rather surprised to see them as a headliner band rather than the main attraction.

Bon Jovi was full of energy and looked like they wanted to have lots of fun throughout the night. The satellite dishes were very cool.

Regarding the setlist, very similar to the Crush tour setlist. But I loved hearing "Raise Your Hands" for the first time live. Thought it was nearly blasphemous for Richie to lead on my favorite song, "I'll Be There For You", but he was quite good and the audience provided lots of help. My favorite song off the Bounce album was "Undivided" which doesn't play too well in a concert because it's much heavier yet slower than a typical rock song. I also loved to hear "Right Side Of Wrong". I think they should spread out some of their classics throughout the show instead of the first 30-40 minutes. But that's just nitpicking.

These guys rock!
