A review by Peter / pcuesters@web.de

I have been to 27 BJ shows since 1991, but never experienced such a great rockin' night than in Erfurt...
From the beginning 'til the end nothin' but f***in' ROCK---a blast from the past..
I was very happy that they played my old faves again ( Wild in the streets, Runaway, In these arms!!!, Raise your hands, and all the other great stuff).
Richie got to sing I'll be there for you, which was a great pleasure not only for him...the backdrop became a heaven with millions of little stars and Richies great voice put a spell on the audience.
Blaze of glory was played in the best version I've ever heard...
At the end of Born to be my baby, Jon wanted the audience to go on singin' the na na na's and broke into a reprise of the song.
A melancholic moment was during Undivided (great laser show and brilliant keyboard intro), when the name of the victims of sept. 11th where shown on three giant "displays" that crossed the huge stage from left to right...
The only thing that wasn't that cool, was the organisation of local crew and local security...but who cares...BON JOVI ROCKS AGAIN...that counts...
