Wembley was an epic event. Although, I really like the Bremen boots, the sound is awesome on them. A big reason why its so fondly remembered is because there isnt as much footage as we have nowdays. Pre-Youtube and HD recording phones, that show pretty much represents the whole tour. If we had the sort of technology we did then who knows what gems of shows we would all remember- where shows like Udine on the last tour are now captured thanks to all who were there and we can re-live a magical show that otherwise wouldn't make a wider audience.
It also helps that the Wembley shows seem to have been polished a lot- I remember listening to the radio 1 broadcast and some of the songs (Hey God in particular) Jon sounded shot to pieces on, but on CD/VHS they were a lot more tidied up ( or different nights, I think the radio 1 show was the same night but would need to dig the cassette out to be sure!).
Whilst it may not be technically the best, its just an iconic Bon Jovi show for reasons for than just the show and the performance, and I really wish it could somehow be tidied up and re-mastered for a full release or airing somewhere.
