I've got to admit I don't listen to it that much probably because it maybe is too big. This is not a complaint though, when I got the set it did reaffirm my faith in Bon Jovi a little as this seemed finally something that they had really put a bit of love and attention into. Something truly for the fans and they got back some of the respect they lost with me for One Wild Night. It was great to hear all these new (well unreleased!) songs. I thought they'd be mainly Crush and later demos but to my delight it wasn't, we got to hear some decent solos again. We got to hear some songs with real emotion. I did manage to get it down to a 2 hour edit for my cassette player in the car but I've now graduated to a car cd player and I'm not good enough with computers to start messing around with cd's. As I say I'm really glad they brought it out but just don't often have 4 hours spare to commit to listening to it all. I also can't be bothered getting up and changing the cd every 3 or 4 songs just to listen to the highlights. How lazy is that?
One of Bon Jovi's best releases in many years though in my opinion. Now how about a huge live boxset?
