Bon Jovi - Novocaine (Philadelphia 2005) - YouTube

Best live performance of the song. Jon looks possessed and near the middle of the song he hits Dave's keyboard.

A great performance, indeed. I don't like Novocaine as a song that much, but if I saw the guys (especially JBJ) perform it like this in concert, I'd be really impressed and happily forget about the mediocrity of the song itself.

The Philly audience also got to witness one of the best post-2k Saturday Night renditions - Jon goes nuts around 5:48 and the build-up to the last chorus is simply breathtaking:

EDIT: Note that he also goes for - and nails - the high "HEY HEY HEY HEY" on the last chorus!

Does anyone know if the whole show is around as this kind of a screen recording? The set list was awesome and the band obviously was on fire. I'd love to see the whole gig.

Why do you think Novocaine is mediocre?

Legendary performance, definitely in the top 5 performances of KTF. During the jungle part Jon does the jungle screams and also belts out a long and gritty C5.

The song is OK if you listen to it maybe once a year, but it just goes nowhere. There's no depth, no memorable elements. It's a filler.

Ladies and gentlemen, that C5 right there is what ruined Jon's control of his chest voice/raspy high register for eternity. It sounds really unhealthy, although extremely impressive at the same time.

Actually 2 almost full screen recordings from this concert exist.

Right? My throat starts to hurt when I'm listening to it.

I've tried it myself, and it's a combination of throaty and chesty screaming with an added head voice edge. It's one of the hardest and most exhausting screaming/shouting techniques you could imagine, and easily leaves you without voice for a good few minutes. Don't even try, it makes both your throat and your head ache...

Here's another of my favorite KTF performances:

That mega-raspy "Get down on your knees and pray!" around 2:56 gets me every time.
