Default What's the best OWN tour show?

I think it's Munich. This version of Saturday Night is epic:

They also performed mind blowing renditions of Always, STBI and IBTFY there. Jon's voice was amazing (IMO he sang Always even better than he did on the TD tour, going for some extremely high notes before Richie's solo and nailing them perfectly), the set list was spectacular, the atmosphere was great (judging by the recording) and the band was at their peak live. Holy shit, I miss this band...

The San Jose show was great, too:

As well as the Cologne gig:

IMO the shows at Giants didn't come anywhere close to this level of greatness. Okay, the band performed the best KTF of all time during the second night, but besides that, something was missing already...

Something that never fully came back.

My first Jovi gig on that tour. Milton Keynes, one of the UK Four Wild Nights shows. Great memories.

Where the **** have gone those years???
Time goes very fast
Munich 2001 is by far,the best show from the whole OWN tour
That night was born the chemistry between BJ and Munich.

Didn't see them until the Bounce tour, but judging from what I've heard and seen it was definitely among the best. A thunderstorm erupting while the band is playing Something To Believe In and Jon looking up into the sky with a big grin must've been pretty cool. Also 4 encores in the pouring rain were pretty great. You can see on the screen at the start of the Prayer how torrential the rain was:

That being said, there were some other outstanding shows. Especially Milton Keynes must've been stunning as well.

No,my first show was in the Bounce Tour
I can make that statement because of the many videos and bootlegs I have seen through the years since 2001 of the OWN Tour.
I was not in Wembley 1995 or Hammersmith Odeon 1990 and I can say they are probably the best gigs of their tours.

Even from the top of my head I could name 3 shows in 1995 that were better than Wembley

Exactly.

People base their opinions off the most popular shows. Most of the OWN tour wasn't even filmed becuase camera phones weren't a thing then. Dublin 2001 was great but it's nowhere to be seen on youtube.

I'm not saying anyone is wrong but you can't definitively say one show was the best based on a few bootlegs or official releases.

People base THEIR opinions in things you dont know.
Do you know how many bootlegs I have,how many videos I have,how many people I know that attended dozens of shows?
I know people who were in New Jersey 2001,in MK,in Cardiff,in Paris,in Munich etc and yes in Wembley 95
I have talked with them through the years and I do believe Munich 2001 is the best show from the tour.
I can say this is the best show of the tour bcause its MY opinion.
Who opened the post asked what was the best own show for us,so I said my opinion,if u think I cant say it,why are u in this post?

One Wild Night was one of my favourite Bon Jovi tours. I don't know which show was the best. I haven't heard all of 54, but I think the whole tour was really great. Starting from the band, ending at the stadium stage, inspired by Empire State Building.

If I could choose one show from the tour I would like to go, I definitely pick Camden or Giants, where Alec John Such has joined the band.
