The "What If" NJ Live Album - Advanced Fan Challenge

Do you have the A-sides for each?

Interesting! Could you point me where (which single?) to find the non-Cincinnati version?


OK, thanks. My post on this was pure speculation.

+ there are all those "new" live tracks from 80s&90s released on re-mastered (2010?) CDs....too bad they dont mention any dates...

That's were I was going with my last post. The 2010 special edition tracks?

Some of them I have been able to sort out. From the top of my head:
Runaway (Tokyo 1985)
Livin' On A Prayer / In These Arms (Central Park 2008 )
Diamond Ring / This Ain't A Love Song (Milan 1995)
I'll Be There For You (Munich 2001)
Wild Is The Wind (London 2010)
Only Lonely (Soundcheck SWW tour, somewhere in 1986)

Here's [A-sides] added. Only those version I personally own + corrected couple of tracks from SWW to NJ.

SWW era released live tracks:

1. Wanted (Cobo 1987) [Wanted Dead Or Alive PPDM-1003]
2. Wanted (acoustic FM radio) [A: Wanted Dead Or Alive PPDM-1003]

4. Livin' In Sin (Lakeland, Florida 1989) [Keep The Faith 864 495-2]

Good point!
Sadly we still couldn't be sure since they performed both songs during the same show in Santiago 1990, Hamburg 1989, Madrid 1989, Portland 1989, Philadelphia 1989 for example.

"Prayer" was recorded in Paris 1988, but it wasn't mentioned on the cover.

It was recorded at legendary Electric Lady Studios in March 1987. It's not FM broadcast. BTW. Phil-X has recorded vocals and guitars in the same studio in March 2016 (most likely it was session for the new Bon Jovi album).

OOPS! Sorry! Dont know where the FM part came from, I knew it was this studio....although my CD-version doesnt list venue information for Wanted tracks, there are other versions that do.

Thanks for the info on vinyl....is there another CD-single (other than https://www.discogs.com/Bon-Jovi-Live/release/2007756) which has this Prayer [1988 live] version?

The intro, however, isn't from Paris since Jon words it slightly differently. Moreover, there is some beat missing on the SBD version when Jon starts the first verse while it was actually played during the Paris show. May have been one of Obie's magnificent edits...

You're right!
"Livin' on a Prayer" is not from Paris 1988.
Sorry, my fault, but another 3 songs: "Blood on Blood", "Bad Medicine" & "Runaway" are definitely from that show. I don't have idea from which show is "Prayer", but most likely it's late 1988 performance.

Does anyone have a list with all official released live tracks?
