Default Richie singing Bon Jovi songs

Which Bon Jovi songs did Richie sing live? Both at Bon Jovi shows and on his solo tours. IŽve recordings of IŽll be there for you, Wanted, Bad Medicine and Never say Goodbye. Any others? Did he ever do These Days or Keep the Faith? I think those two would be great sung by Richie!

Yes, he played Prayer, and it was a great version of it. It started slow like Prayer 94 and became fast in the End. We called it Prayer 98 back then.

He didn't play KTF and These Days.

During the soundcheck in Nurnberg he also played This ain't a love song. Unfortunately I was too late and missed it. It is my least fav BJ song and I had loved to hear it sung by Richie to find out if I hate it, too, when he sings it.

You would've loved Richie's rendition of This ain't a love song, Chris! It's a bluesy tune in the way it was written and it came through in Richie's soundcheck rendition. It sounded perfect! Richie also did The River by the great Bruce Springsteen while soundchecking in Stuttgart.

I absolutely can imagine this because usually it's not the song itself that I don't like but the suffering and kitschy way Jon sings them. I can imagine that I would like TAALS with Richie's voice. When he sings a ballad it sounds beautiful and not exaggerated kitschy.

I think Richie sings everything through his nose.. It comes out very much like that on nearly all of the backing vocals he's done and a lot of his solo songs.
