Do you remember Saratoga Springs? The show with Kings of Suburbia, which are not bad by themselves, but selling it as a Bon Jovi show would make it classify as one of the worst...

Sorry for the delay. It was Twist and Shout. It was a mess until the middle of the first verse if I recall.

I would have to say Dusseldorf 2011 for me. It's not that it was horrible. But after traveling from New Jersey to be there, it was a terrible letdown. It was very blah - very ordinary.

Fortunately the rest of that tour made up for it. Barcelona and Lisbon alone were worth the trip but there was Udine, and Mannheim and San Sebastiaan. Bruge was short but good. Hell of a tour

There aren't a ton of clips of the show online. I distinctly remember Jon giving me the stink eye after I remarked to my friend behind me "what the hell happened" when it ended.

OK, here's my 2 pennies:

Probably will get a lot of stick for this, but I was a bit disappoined with O2 2010 Night 1. Purely because (after following the setlists thoughout the Tour) they were imo on auto-pilot that night. Obviously, I made the mistake by going to Night 1 (and others) and passing Night 2 (where they performed Bed Of Roses, Just Older, Diamond Ring, DC and Always)

The only other show I didn't like was Hyde Park 2013. Mainly because Richie wasn't there and for the first time, I didn't get a song that I haven't seen before LIVE. Don't get me wrong, Phil X was imense that night.....just ain't the same anymore without Richie in it. I still blame him 100% for his lack of professionalism and being a Prick.

I was at the show, and I was biting my nails cringing at how bad the guitar work was.

However.

Jon was in a really oddly weird mood. Could have sworn he was high. He did stuff like this.



The show was bad due to circumstances. Not because of attitude, which seems to be the case with Jon.

It was early enough in the tour that there was no way we could come for that show and then see the tour through to the end. I would have LOVED to have been there for that one. But we were in Europe for just a little over 3 weeks as it was. We couldn't be off work any longer than we were.

London was in June and we were there from July 12 through the second of August. Just couldn't stretch it that far damnit
