One of the highlights of my Bon Jovi fandom was following the Sydney pbp, seeing that STBI got played and then watching the video of Jon absolutely nailing it! These Days and Happy Now also had incredible performances that night! As a fan you knew that Jon was no longer in his prime, but still very capable to turn on the switch and give us something great. When people think I constantly bitch about Jon's voice, this is the reason. He was able to do THIS so recently and then went to struggling in Who Says almost overnight. The way he fell of a cliff in 2011-2014 is still mindblowing. I'm a massive music geek and I have never seen anything like that before or since. Last edited by Walleris; 01-09-2018 at 02:24 AM..

https://youtu.be/-4O3sBCbeVY That must have been one of the first occasions in concert where Jon honestly sounded bad. His voice was shot to pieces during the song. Actually, what he was doing there was not singing - it was shouting/screaming. Seems like there's something vaguely familiar about that statement... On the other hand, 2011 got rather choppy performances of the song in general as well (miles better than that Tokyo one, though), but I still like the Vancouver version a lot: https://youtu.be/Ua2DuvzmAyA Jon turning around to cough after holding (and nailing, may I add) that last long note is priceless. Man, the Circle/GH tour had so many great moments... for example, one of my favorite Prayer performances of all time was given in Hyde Park '11: https://youtu.be/keZ0vigZz3Y Compare that to the Sao Paulo '17 version: https://youtu.be/A0YARFH-1j0 While Jon was already struggling a bit on Prayer back in '11, it was nowhere close to the sheer horridness of recent renditions. Okay, he somehow managed to nail those "Whoa-oh-oh-ooh..." parts in Sao Paulo, but apart from those, the whole song was an inconsistent shoutfest there (as always, basically), even though Jon surprisingly was moving around like he did back in the day.

Night 2 was great mainly because of the epic acoustic mini-set in the middle of the show, but the song choices for the encore were pretty dull (save for Love's The Only Rule) and Jon's voice was a bit shot towards the end of the show - something that didn't happen on night 3, even though the set as a whole was much harder to sing than anything they had performed on the previous night. By the way, back on the Circle/GH tour these guys could make even a more vanilla (setlist-wise) show the best f***ing thing on Earth whenever they - or Jon, to be exact - were in the right mood. For example, I've rarely been as enthusiastic watching a post-2k BJ concert as I was when I saw this show for the first time: https://youtu.be/gTYFtDHPKQw Real surprises are nowhere to be found in that set, but at least it has a great flow and features many of my live favorites. Besides that, the band is on absolute fire, Jon sounds great (again, with lots of rasp and aggression) and is full of energy, the crowd is surprisingly good for an American one and the quality of the video is incredible. What could be better than all those things combined? Last edited by BJFan99; 01-29-2018 at 04:49 PM..
