Official Recordings in Jeopardy

While they may not sell well, I don't think they were supposed to do so. It's a product for the most hardcore fans/collectors, which off course there are very few for any ban. Perhaps they were expecting more sales from people like us (diehards, but not over obsessed with having everything)?

I would be however surprised if they stopped doing this, as it is a pretty cheap product to make - they already record every show. And if they want to cut down all costs, they could always stopped doing pitch corrections for Jon's voice

I'd bet it has to do with Jon's voice. I don't think he expected it to be this bad at this stage of the tour.

It's mainly designed for people who are at the show rather than nutters like us, although it would help it tick along with the extra purchases of multiple shows. People love a memento of the show they've been to. I'd rather have a decent bootleg of, say, Coventry 2006, than the Hammersmith Odeon show as I was there.

Unfortunately they are a day late and a dollar short on the idea, which would have been amazing on any other tour except this one with a ridiculously static setlist and Jon's vocal issues. I can only assume they are struggling to make Jon sound bearable as there should still be even a few hundred at each show who'd want the show- although they should have sold it in a ticket bundle, rather than wanting people to pay for it afterwards.

we should give a new name to the tour. "This Shame is not for sale".

If they are not going to sell more concerts because of jon´s voice... why to continue with the tour? it´s a pitty when I listen to the concerts and they play like a cheap cover band...

Bon Jovi is one of the greatest bands of the history... why are you doing this??

So this means Richie has escaped the sinking ship?!

I'd rather they release downloads of when they were at their peak. I have no interest at all in buying any of this tours shows

Yes ma'am! He was on fire that night. I miss that energy and passion from Jon. He wouldn't dare attempt a jungle scream now!

Jon's previous contract with the record company didn't allow him to sell live recordings which is why we've not seen them until this tour. It's quite possible that that clause still stands regarding older recordings so we might never see them, although I hope I'm wrong.

What does Richie have to do with any of this?

Yes, and why is it a sinking ship? Based on what exactly?
