Those two are great shows but I've heard better. Especially in the KTF tour. The one from Germany smoked both of these.

I think Yokohama has some of the best stuff vocally ever from Jon. You can find the Livin on a Prayer video from it on youtube. He hits high notes without even trying.

Agreed Dortmund 93 blows the 2 away with ease!

The others i listed just seem to have better preformances of songs than Wembley/Yokohama.

(Like i've said before theresnothing wrong with Wembley!I just think Yokohama was a bit stale for them compared to the awersome shows of 95)

All these shows from the respective years i mentioned(1995/1996)Are much superior to Wembley/Yokohama.

I like all these shows much more than 95 Wembley or 96 Yokohama.95 Jakarta was great too.

*2nd night at Wembley(24/6/1995):it was the best one of the Wembley shows.Jon's voice was really great.
*3rd night and the last one(25/6/1995):Yes you are right after the great performance of Always Jon's voice was used up.At the and of show he was really bad.He sang Bed Of Roses and These Days awful.

*Best one of the Yokohama shows:20/5/1996(3rd night)
That show took almost 3 hours and they played around 30 songs one of the best shows they have ever done.

I can't compare Keep The Faith Tour to Crossroad/These Days Tour.Keep The Faith Tour was their especially Jon's best.At the Crossroad/These Days Tour drums and guitars were slow down.I really don't understand why did this happen.Their sound was much better at Bounce or Have A Nice Day Tour(the band not Jon)

Just out of curiosity - how many of you guys have heard the Yokohama '96 version of 'As My Guitar Lies Bleedin...'?

That performance was dire and I can see why it was cut from some of the bootlegs produced of that show. The whole band's singing was flat and out of key - there's a version of it on Youtube actually if you search for it. Not good at all though.

As for Wembley, I think that entire era was definitely their defining moment in terms of live performances and the London show absolutely rocked!

This board is getting more and more like Backstage each day...

"Dare to question our opinions and we'll murder you!".

I don't think the Wembley show was that hot. I've seen many better shows and like it was pointed out, the first two Yokohama shows weren't that special.

And 99% of the fans do NOT think the Wembley show is the best Bon Jovi show. In fact, I think that most have a different concert in mind if you ask what do they think is the best show.

I think it was their career highlight esp after seeing the extra footage of Good guys, Dry County, Bed of roses etc. The band had so much energy back then. combined with the setlists I dont think youll ever see a better BJ show than that.

The only others ones that come close for me would be Buenes Airres 93, Osaka 91 and maybe MK 93

Oh... come on man. Buenos aires was not one of their best performances. by the way, Jon had trouble to reach the notes in "These Days".

Sao paulo was OK, but people who was in all of the three shows in Brazil '95 use to say that Curitiba and Rio concerts was better than Sao Paulo.
