Bon Jovi: Live at Madison Square Garden - Worth getting?

I enjoy it a lot. Seriously, turning off the lights, turning on the home theatre, turning on the LED and watching it is something that makes my day. I agree with what people say, if you have good speakers, it sounds great, really great.

I somehow never got into that "show" while watching the DVD. Maybe becaue I had watched the bootleg too many times before and, despite it being in a lot worse quality, the energy was a lot more present there IMHO.

I disagree. It's a must have if you're a completest or you enjoy this kind of thing. I really struggle with how people enjoy this. Not for band reasons, but mixing reasons. The sound is so damn poor that it makes Jon sound dreadful. Replace the statement with "It's A must have DVD/Bluray if you can ignore the awful sound from a so-called professional DVD.

It's a decent one. I personally enjoy 'The Crush Tour' and it's not as good as this, and they'll never release anything as good as 'Live In London' and 'An Evening With...'

However, the performances of 'Have A Nice Day', 'Bed Of Roses', 'Dry County' and 'Blaze Of Glory' are enjoyable, in my opinion.

IMO, these are the major problems with this DVD:

1. Jon's voice on the mix sounds like shit. It sounds tired and hoarse, I don't know if the mixing is to blame or Jon himself.

2. The edited transition from BTBMB to Blaze of Glory is ridiculous.

3. The perfomance of Dry County is so "meh" , it hurts.

4. The camera work is awful. The only nice shot of the entire show is the two girls rocking to the Always middle solo.

5. The mixing is so bad that you can't feel any energy coming from the band. Compare it to the HRC radiocast and see what I mean.

lol ok m8.

Allow me to add: Blood On Blood and Bad Medicine during the credits

Completely agree with everything said. Bon Jovi really needs to get an outside production team. The fact that a radio broadcast sounds better than a professionally released Blu-Ray baffles me. And yeah camera work wasn't so bad, it was the shots that they chose.

What annoys me the most is that they record every single gig, they've done amazing performances on lots of tours and still they haven't released a decent live album. Inside Out is the worst piece of shit I've ever listened to, for god's sake, they've nailed it on the The Circle/Live 2011 tours and release that? What the hell is on their heads?

I remember a friend getting the Blu Ray at the time and saying that in the 5.1 mix one channel is completely missing (on the center I think)! Another great screw-up by Obie. I agree with Panda that they definitely need to change their production team.
