Still a show to see!
It looked like to me the set list was set to overcome JBJ's obvious illness. He didn't look well from the moment he took the stage. Barely sang any of "Wanted", which Richie filled in most excellantly. All the songs sounded pretty flat which probably was to correspond to the key JBJ could sing in. But even with a short show it was still a great time and Richie brought the goods. He sounded great. I could have sworn after they did Prayer I saw the stage hands bringing the electric guitars out but then it looked JBJ motioned them back and they went right into Dead or Alive. "In These Arms" was a nice suprise and I have not seen it on any other set list. But like everyone there I thought JBJ was saving all he had for the encore. Either way a not so hot Bon Jovi show still beats most bands on a good day.
