Length of Live From London

The shows on the 1995/1996 tour were definetely longer than the later shows. Just watch LOndon and Yokohama. I was in Nuremberg and Frankfurt 1996 and the show was at least as long as the London shows. I count the length of a show in minutes not in the number of songs. As DC was often played thios song alone is worht 3 "normal length " songs. Maybe the bootlegs are incomplete then. I judge from being there

The songs that are on the DVD are the songs the BBC broadcasted on TV. Before the DVD was released, the band released a VHS in 1996 which contained the same songs, and your DVD is just a VHS rip.

The complete concert however was broadcasted on BBC Radio at that time and is available on bootleg. And to make things complete, a complete DVD of the first night at Wembley leaked 2 years ago, but has sound issues for the first 12 songs. This one has about the same main set, but has Good Guys Don't Always Wear White in the encore. Hope this helps.

Salaam Aleikum,

It was never broadcast on BBC television only on the radio!

My first ever Jovi gig was the Saturday at Wembley. An amazing night that has never been matched since.

Yokohama 1996 was one of the shortest shows from the These Days Tour, and Frankfurt was one of the longest shows, as it lasted 170 minutes including encore breaks and all that.

London was "just" running close to 2,5 hours, and was one of the longest Bon Jovi shows the band had ever done at that time, but no way it lasted 3 hours. Yes it was a great, great show, but it's also one of the shows that's overrated here. Or in fact, the other shows of the 1995 tour are underrated, since the band played better shows on that tour, but they just aren't available in the same quality, which is a shame really.

And no, the bootlegs aren't incomplete.

The stuff that's on VHS/DVD was broadcasted on BBC television, but the full show was broadcasted on BBC Radio.

If you listen to the entire BBC Radio broadcast of that night you might notice that Jons voice didn't hold out too well the entire night...during These Days in particular you can can tell his voice is strained which might account for why that song was cut and the video was added at the end...
