Of course there is a difference. I knew somebody would bring it up in the exact manner as you did...which doesn't mean you're probably right anyway. I just want to experience the magic once again, especially that I joined the fandom after Rich had already left the band.

I will say I have seen the band since 1985, good, bad and ugly. While sometimes I wish I was young again not when it comes to Bon Jovi. I'm glad to have been on the journey with them. So, I can appreciate you wanting that same experience. That's why I'm one of the few you'll never hear say, "Oh I wish they were as good as XXX period" and the reason is because I was there and witnessed that period I only want to go forward no matter what probably because I'm old with them lol!

Think they are either ripped from Rock Band/Guitar Hero or the Dualdisc re-releases.

Thank you for that post! You've said it all (; And I've stopped talking crap about the band because I've learnt what you've already known. Appreciating, not bashing... even if someone sucks here and there. Making efforts is what counts, the outcome is not always up to us.

Without a doubt the best ever BJ gig since Richie's departure - the setlist is epic (I'm posting the encore only, as the main set was pretty vanilla):

But, for me, nothing beats the 2011 gig in Udine - hell, that must have been one of the best shows since '96 (again, just the encore):

That version of Dry County... holy f***, I miss Richie.

You're probably Italian, right?
I actually do have my doubts since I was in Cologne 2013 and still regard this as the overall better gig

I'm not an Italian - actually, I'm from Finland. What a shame that we'll probably never get setlists like those here again...

Yes, you read that right - again. We got an epic setlist (probably one of the best ever) in Helsinki on the These Days tour in 1996. Unfortunately, I wasn't there, as I was born in '99. But here's the video:
