A review by Dean

I went to see Bon Jovi for the first time ever at Manchester last week. Always liked their music, and was totally blown away by the most amazing rock concert & atmosphere I have ever seen. I came away fully understanding why fans follow them religiously on practically every gig of their tours.
So, I decided I had to go to Hull.
I really wish I hadn’t made the effort. The band didn't.
After all day today thinking, 'Is it me', I found this site and realised that other people, people who are far more 'qualified' as 'fans' than me, felt the same. Jon & the boys just wanted this one over with & go home. They obviously didn’t want to do the venue; they were obviously well pissed off with something – not a sell-out?????? robbed of the ego-boosting new Wembley opening act perhaps?????? - who knows.
If I’d not been to Manchester, I still would have thought them awesome live. After the Manchester experience though, I was amazed how my opinion of them changed last night. You almost felt as if you were 'taking up their time'. Were they coerced into Hull??
We paid less to see them at Manchester, we were ripped off at Hull.
Have seen numerous bands live, and know that some you win, some you lose. You take the good with the bad. But this one could have been so, so much better. I felt they cheated their hardcore fans. If I’d been to every gig of this UK tour, this last last one would have been ‘Bad Medicine’ for me to swallow.
But, I would still go to see them again........
