This is NO contest. This Left Feels Right. With it, we knew we were getting something different.

With One Wild Night, we expected a live CD that gave us what Bon Jovi was world reknown for: great live performances. Instead, we got a half-assed attempt to cash in on a resurgance in popularity that took little effort to throw together. They should have made the title literal and used ONE concert or not used the bs idea of representing the span of the career since the songs came too heavily from 2 shows. Most of the tracks had already been previously released in one form or another. They call it career representative when they didn't put in anything from SWW (maybe a song from Budokan in Japan?) and didn't put in anything from Moscow (Blood on Blood) or Giant's Stadium 1989 (I'll Be There for You) or Hammersmith Odeon (Cadillac Man... a perfect opportunity to let this awesome song shine since it's only been performed live and never released). Instead they reissued bonus tracks in a compliation. And what a kick to the die hard fan that they used KTF from a CLUB show.

I know fans who put together better live compilations and didn't have access to the bands archive. So what's THEIR excuse?
