Enc2-Next 100 years/keep the faith

They all came on the stage,jon last, and started with livin on a prayer.I could sence he was tired by his lack of real enthusiasm in his singing.next they went straight into bad name. the crowd were getting into it now and so was the band.Captain crash was next which was much softer vocaly live but sounded good followed by say it aint so.He then told the audience about how he had been partying the previous night and was a little fucked up.he then comented on the mock bars at the side of the stage. dean martini bar on the left,bada bing on the right where "you can get all of your alcholical drinks".he began to dance to the funny intro to one wild night in his tight silver leather pants-very funny.during this song he was dancing with the women on the bars and kissing them.The crowd enjoyed this.
Its my life was played well and the crowd realy got into this one-lots of jumping.Born to be my baby came straight in followed directly by just older.Both played realy well.
Jon fucked up the set list during one of the songs, he called for his guitar when he shouldnt have, he introduced the guitar roady and recieved a lot of laughs.

Mystery train was nothing special, Bed of roses was intence and the crowd loved this one.Jon dragged out his vocals a bit too much but it was performed very well.Saturday night was exellent with an extended lyric part in the middle ive never heard.Wild in the sreets was very energetic and played well. Two big inflated hands with all of the 00011 01 1000 stuff came up at the sides of the stage for lay your hands on me. jon welcomed everyone to his church of rock and roll and began to preach the gospel according to elvis. It was very funny, just like a minister of an american black church.Tico gimme the big big beat baby was shouted to start sleep when im dead with rocking all over the world included at the end,bad medicine came next another big crowd pleaser.Shout was also included with it which got everyone jumping. After this the went off then a few mins later dave,hue and jon appeared to play a ballad accoustic version of runaway. It was very different in that style, more darker and meaning full. It was played and sang well and everyone liked it.Blood on blood was next,quite intence and performed very well.The crowd cheered when he sang Me im still a singer in a long haired rock and roll band.Very well performed. jonanked the crowd for sticking by them after all this time and introduced what he called their national anthem Wanted dead or alive.This realy rocked the stadium and was played so well.

They took a bow and left the stage only to return and play next 100 years. It was very good live and everyone got into it especialy the fast 80's sounding ending.

The final song keep the faith was next another big crowd pleaser.At the end he inroduced each member and told everyone it will not be another 5 years before they come back which pleased us all very much. A huge firework display ended it all nicely.

In all it was an exellent show.Jon was at his very best,funny, and full of attitude.Tico was solid as ever, hue was more involved this time, accepted as a member, david was exellent vocaly and playing wise and richie was great too, a little not with it at times, not as involved and hid behind his sun glasses most of the night but played well.

The only downside to the show is the lack of songs from these days.It is a darker album to crush and doesnt realy suit the hyper fun is he on drugs mood of jon right now but its an amazing album and deserves to appear somewhere in the set. So till next time.
