That was some odd 21 years ago and some level of decline can be expected. But trying to watch any of the 2011 European shows would probably make me shed a tear...

I think they have a backing track of the vocals and sing on top of that.

That's likely the case, I agree. However, I believe it was 100% live in 2015. The difference is quite noticeable between the recordings. I know there's more people singing in recent performances, but still sounds a tad more artificial.

Oh I totally agree. 'Just think it's crazy how great they were once upon a time, but then again, even just back between 2008-11 I thought they were fantastic live and a match for anyone. I saw two shows in 2013 and while one was very good and a lot of fun, the other was the complete opposite.

Agree! I wasn't old enough to see Bon Jovi at their best, but Oslo 2011 is probably the best show I've ever seen by any band. Jon was absolutely incredible both vocal wise and as a front man. He worked the stage all night like crazy and the audience were like possessed the entire show from Raise Your Hands to Prayer. The show was over 2h and 30 min long was filled with treats like Damned, Blaze, Diamond Ring, stunning version of Bed of Roses, LTOR, Wild is the Wind, I'd Die For You etc.
What really stands out about the show is that it's probably the only show done since the LH Tour to not contain a single song from Lost Highway. Really wished there was a bootleg from that show.

On the other hand the worst Bon Jovi show I've ever seen was a only a few days later in Horsens, Denmark. However I can't blame the band, it was the concert after Jon hurt is calf badly in Helsinki. He jumped in on crutches during the opening number and it was remarkable they even did the show.

The title actually is "Love's The Only Rule", so you could have seen it
