Bon Jovi live best of

You're welcome, the second "album" seems like a bunch of songs putted together haha, but maybe you can rework the order or something. The Lay Your Hands On Me is from the One Wild Night Single, Toronto 2000.

I need to find my copy of that one, great version.

First of all, I would love to have a brother like you. Sadly, I have none. Your sisters are extremely lucky... In fact no one in my family shares my Bon Jovi passion (their older music, for the most part).

Personally, I wouldn't leave out, OWN, although I have no idea what the best version would be? (I'm not as knowledgeable or as tech savvy as most on this site.)

DLS is another personal fav, but not sure how well it would go over, with kids in the car, lol.

Whatever you put together, I'm sure that your sisters will be beyond thrilled.

Let us know how it turns out, plz...

There's a great version of In These Arms from one of the Keep The Faith singles, it may well be the one in that list.

Also worth a look is the Tokyo Highway soundboard recording from 2008. I recently bought a copy off EBAY and it has an absolutely stonking version of These Days sung by Richie and great versions of Any Other Day and Radio Saved My Life.

That single also includes the best live versions of I Believe and Hey God, in my opinion.

Aloha !

That version is a fraud. The band never had a marching band in 2001 yet it magically appears on the recording. I've no idea why such a thing was done, surely there should've been a 1996 rendition in the vault somewhere that included the marching band?

I never thought Richie's version of 'These Days' was anything special. It just never worked for me. His 'I'll Be There For You' blows Jon's out the water though and 'Homebound Train' is just fantastic too.

Yeah that always puzzled me too-they released other tracks from the Yokohama show that was televised (STBI for a start) so why not just use LYHOM from that one too if they wanted to showcase the Marching Band intro.....? Odd indeed!

I love Richie's version of These Days but he's full of cold during the Tokyo 2008 show and it really affects his performance IMO. It's nice having a soundboard recoridng but he did much better vocals at other shows on the tour.

God no, the Tokyo 08 show, whilst good sound quality wise, is an awful band performance. Richie had a massive cold and his voice was awful not just on These Days, but he sounded like he died during Wanted. And of course Jon during prayer was pretty much the nadir (Along with Wild In The Streets which may have been that show as well). Thankfully his voice improved leaps and bounds after those shows.

But thats the question that you are facing- do you prefer better band quality or better sound quality? I'd definitely mine Bremen 95 and Wembley 95 for some, Hard Rock Calling 2011 is decent for the more recent versions of songs too.
