Bitterly Disappointed and let down
Well, I've been a fan for 21 years but only been to 7 shows, even so I know things weren't right and I have something to compare with. OK it goes against my bon jovi religion to even say what I'm about to but I have to get it off my chest. Let me start by saying I agree with all the comments that others have made and I felt all the things they did. Don't get me wrong, I had a ball and I love the guys to bits but having read all the reviews I was expecting much more from them. Maybe it was the bad weather (and I felt the stadium was a great venue)but it lacked atmosphere, no mexican waves and no-one standing when the boys came on. Maybe it was because it was the last show and they'd had enough but we deserve more I think after 21 years. We arrived at 3 and I was right where I wanted to be at the back of the gold circle (inner) but imagine to my dismay and horror when Jon walked in the one direction and never came by me, I was gutted and could have cried there and then (I have today, being so let down). Why wasn't the walkway made more use of? Granted it was raining (tho what a rip off £5 for a bit of plastic to keep dry.) The boys hearts were not in this performance, they went thru the motions and like Jon said when the cheeky girls came on to kiss him "I'm working" it seemed to be just a job. It felt like their mood was low and there was very little banter and crowd interaction and I got the impression were're on the edge again like before when they got burnt out and split for a while. To add to this what a let down we didn't get more than 2 hours 5 mins and 1 encore. I honestly thought they were coming back as there was no trademark holding of hands and bow at the end I couldn't believe it when they started packing up, and what was the frank sinatra song all about? (and now the end is near????) I wished this show hadn't gone ahead and I thought long and hard before I spent my well earned cash, I now wished I'd stayed at home with good memories. Anyone who knows me will know these words are hard to say and I'll always be a Bon Jovi fan forever, I just wished things had been better. Keep the faith..........
