Yeah that's a pretty accurate account. I tend to prefer live music because you get a better feel for how good a band actually is that way. However in Bon Jovi's case the shows since 2000 have missed something. I like it when bands ellaborate a little and play longer solos, or use additional lyrics while playing live and Bon Jovi's sets have missed that since 2000. If you watch the Live From London DVD or the An Evening with BJ show then the music is great and you get a much better feel for it. However having said that I have to say that Prayer was very good in 2003 despite Jon not being able to hit the chrous notes. That was perhaps the only song that they ellaborated on, with the bridge being sung acappella as an intro before Richie's talkbox.
