The show itself was great, nice mix of songs, so happy not to have any "It's allrights", and yes I must echo the typical Jovitalk member and say it was great to hear a couple of tunes from These Days.

The highlight for me was KTF. Stella performance, and the editing between the show and the fireworks towards the end really elevated the whole thing. In fact the presentation in general (and especially the editing) was a lot better than the last DVD, I really hope this gets released on blu-ray. I actually ended up liking that it was clearly pasted together from a few different nights as it's done in stages, with Jon's costumes changes (I counted 4!), and luckily the camera doesn't linger too long on the soccer mom crowd (a crime the last DVD/Blu kept repeating). Up there with the best in offically released Jovi live shows (although I realise it's a fairly slim selection).

So yeah, good. I'd do that again.
I saw it last night in Bristol as well!! I thought the whole show was great, the band looked like they really enjoyed playing at NMS and the quality of the music and vocals etc really shows!! I wish I could have been there to see the shows Live but this was the next best thing.

Favourite songs for me - Blood On Blood - IBTFY - Keep The Faith & Raise Your Hands!!

Looking round I did see a few people dancing in there seats and raising hands etc! and definitely heard stamping feet during the small encore section

Glad you dug it Bobevan, was good to see so much Bristol based Jovi love out in force.

Forgot to add - This Is Our House played over the end credits, and a frightening amount of people were singing along to it. As we left, the credits finished and the song cut off abruptly, which was met with several "I was enjoying that" comments from the crowd. Christ!

Flirted with the idea of yelling obsure requests at the screen, "August 7th, 4.15!", etc, but wasn't quite that drunk.

Didn't go as far as standing up, but I was putting my hands up for Faith, Raise Your Hands etc.

I'm hearing strong rumours that it's being in the final stages of mastering right now so expect a release for sure.

All I can add is that I thought it was fantastic!! I went to the Belfast show.............anyone else there????

Battled through awful weather/flooding/manic traffic queues/an accident and bomb scares to get to it and was not disppointed. 2/3rds full cinema though was meant to be sold out - possibly the weather and traffic! Plenty of BJ t-shirts on which was great to see! Went with my gfr and her brother who is a drummer in a NorthernIrish up and coming band - Like Statues - look them up on myspace!!!!!!

As for the show, we had great seats and the sound was immense!!! I think I was actually there in the crowd!! Every song was awesome as the band was on fire. New single played first and then we saw the band coming to the stage - was there more footage not shown??

Then we hit Blood on Blood!! Perfect start as i really wanted that at the great 19th June O2 show last year but got Happy Now. Highlights were obviously Keep the Faith - make sure there are fireworks on next years tour Jon!!! The stadium looked immense! Aerial views included. Someday was great but I think the O2 performance last year just beat it, but only just!! Also loved Superman, another favourite they didnt play at the O2 that night. Sadly no LTOR but cant win them all. WFTWM i enjoyed though would agree with teh walk was a tad wick!! WGIGO - love this song. Loved it at the O2 with walking up the screens and here out into the crowd. What makes songs like this and WFTWM is the loud pounding drums in teh background, so affective on the big screen - thanks Tico!! Awesome drumming my man!!

Loved Lost Highway - in fact most of teh songs which are dull on albums come alive on stage when the band are on fire!! I loved seeing David with a smile on his face cos he has looked in rotten form in the promo gigs here in the UK - X-Factor/One Night on ITV.

Good times are still here with BJ, it is a shame the UK music market is so shit and shallow, dominated by X-factor crap (though I admit to watching but generally to snarl at Cheryl Cole!). Clearly they are still popular in USA and Europe and we will love them when they come to Dublin!! Cannot wait for Dublin show next year and also my first time to Munich!! Shows as good as last nights will blow the mind!!

Cheers guys, great show, finally a goodmarketing ploy, now maybe we will have a awesome tour, a break and then back with a new powerful sound but different lyrics - ok maybe a bit too far with the last comment!! lol!!

Brilliant

Jonty

I saw it yesterday... really good atmosphere in the cinema. Some people were raising their hands, singing along, clapping, applauding, even screaming. Towards the end, some even got out of their seats. Audio quality wasn't perfect, but good enough. Performance was fun, much better than MSG DVD. Just I for one don't think that the fireworks are captured like they should be. Too many helicopter shots, instead of showing them from inside the stadium and just the stage, that would've been more impressive.

I missed some songs, especially "Bad Medicine", it's a song I always enjoy in a live environment. Especially if it had a cool cover in the middle. But hey, it has two These Days songs in a row!!!
So, the setlist could've been longer, but what I saw I really liked. And I highly enjoyed the 4 Circle-songs.

I hope it gets released!

I really enjoyed the show last night - It was nice to do something different and much better than watching a DVD at home, well worth the 45mile trip through stormy winds and rain to watch it! The crowd seemed quiet but a lot of foot tapping and singing going on all the same. Having not caught any of the live shows last year it was great to see the set. Richie was great throughout and to echo what others have said I loved diamond ring and KTF. Keep up the fireworks next year!

I saw it in Bath last night. Very few people in the cinema (they were obviously all in Bristol!) and those that were there were terribly reserved and well behaved (well, it was Bath). No clapping, dancing or even foot stamping!

Really enjoyed it though - am going to see it again on Tuesday at Vue in Bristol so maybe those Bristolians can provide a much better atmosphere

Im kind of surprised that people think BJ wil lrelease a DVD when they even admit Circle is a flop. Why would you bring out a dvd when the album didnt seem to be popular in general

Did 'This Left Feels Right' do particularly well? Because they specifically shot a DVD for that, even when there was no tour.
