The worst BJ concert ever

That Asian Tour in 2015 is probably the worst I've heard Jon ever sing.

This is horrifying:

The shows from 2015 were the worst because of Jon's voice, I mean the KTF performance Greg listed above me would be great if Jon would have had the vocals from 2008-2011. He sure sings the chorus in weird way "ya now ya gonna liiive through the riiiiiiiiiiaaian u gotta keep the faith, don't let love turn to hayeayayaiiiiiiiiit.

I'm not very optimistic about his voice on the next tour, I don't think he will sound as bad as on the 2015 mini tour, but I don't think he'll get back to his Circle Tour voice either.

I've seen the band over 15 times but the worst performance I've seen personally was at MK Bowl in 1996 on the These Days tour. For those that don't know MK Bowl - its a literally a bowl shaped hole in the middle of nowhere. I've seen Green Day there as well and it was nearly 100 degrees and it was glorious - you basically need the weather. There's no cover and if it rains its gets muddy and miserable.

Back to the gig - Shit support acts like Joan Osborne and a local band didn't help...and then then heavens opened and it fell down all day. I thought it would be off as by the time Jovi came on the wind looked like it was gonna blow the stage away.

The sound just went up and away over the hills and you could stand and talk to each other by whispering it was that quiet. The band tried to give it their best and it might have been the best they've ever sounded for all we know but you wouldn't know it. It was like hearing it via someone's headphones on the bus!

Total waste of time. Not entirely the bands fault of course but thats the gamble with outside gigs....in the UK!

Hull to me will always be the worst show because Jon was pissed at the promoter who made Bon Jovi do this show and he took it out on the audience. Totally unprofessional and disrespectful. He was so pissd off it affected the band. I do not believe the band's missteps were due to them learning that Ritchie's father had cancer just before the show. But even if it were true, Dave's father died while he was on tour and the funeral was delayed three days so that he could finish the scheduled shows. Dave said in an interview that his father would have understood as he was a musician himself. It is so sad reading the Hull thread leading up to the show where everyone was so excited and hoping for the best show with some of their favorite songs. Jon said later about Hull, "It wasn't our finest hour."
People know what Jon sounds like and what the band minus Ritchie sounds like. They go to still have a Bon Jovi experience with a charismatic frontman whose vocal limitations are masked by (over)production. I am curious if the band can fill arenas but they have so far and we will know in a few months if the Bon Jovi machine can make it happen again.

It was a live stream, not the entire show, but the first 45 minutes of the Penn State University gig in February 2011 sounded sluggish, bored, old, and worst of all, detached. The first BJ gig that ever left me depressed.

Calgary 2013 with Bobby on lead probably has to rank up there among the worst. I mean, just listen to the guitar solo in BOR. Dreadful.

Holy cow, what was that?

I totally forgot about Calgary 2013...what a horrible performance from Bobby Bandiera. I still can't believe that Richie left like that...

I'd pick Macau or Korea 2015. Dropping the maracas was the sign that it has completely hit the fan, not to mention the former was when Jon started lip-syncing to an autotuned livestream version in NJ 2 years prior. For Korea, Always was just...dreadful. There's a reason Jon shied away from ballads during that tour,

He wasn't lip-syncing in New Jersey 2013, he sang (partly quite bad) live and they corrected it with autotune afterwards for the stream. That show wasn't a livestream
