A review by Dazza

I've liked BJ for a long time, but wouldn't call myself their biggest fan- I love rock n' roll and have seen the boys 4 times in total, but still prefer heavier stuff.

Therefore I was slightly dubious about trekking out to Hull to see them. On the whole, I am glad I did, albeit with some concerns: -

1. Similarly to previous comments, I felt they just weren't up for it. From the 1st song when JBJ almost slipped on the mini-bridge, I felt he didn't want to be there. He made several comments about the weather and seemed generally pissed off. His job as a performer is to entertain a crowd whatever the weather- it is harder to stand in the rain waiting for them than to play than to stand and sing under a canopy!! I felt there was a negativity to their performance which I haven't seen before.

2. There was very little cameraderie between the band members and they were going through the motions to an extent.

3. This was the shortest BJ gig I've been to and instead of a support band, we had some muppets from the local radio station 'entertaining us'.

Also, not sure what has happened to Richie Sambora! but he looks bloated and generally unwell!

That said, '...Prayer' was worth the ticket price itself!!!
