My one quintessential Bon Jovi live performance? I can't pick one -- it's a dead heat tossup between their


at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989, and


at the MTV Movie Awards in 1994.

I love how powerful this performance sounds. It's heavy yet melodic and fun which sums up Bon Jovi at their best. All the members are on top form too. It's edited really well also oh and there's Jon's coat....

It's a video I always go back to even when I'm on a Bon Jovi hiatus.

I download a fan-made live CD over 10 years ago that was fan-titled "Sons Of Beaches" and it basically contained a Soundboard Live Version of each song per album.... Basically a live CD of the first 4 albums (soundboard only)... The dynamic range on this mix was so great, that I wish that it could be repeated with other albums.... With that said, every song up until 1990 is equally enjoyable. 92/93 had some great moments too but I do notice a difference when I compare them to the 80's versions.

Excellent topic!

In previous posts you have chosen a few of my favorite performances, such as "Silent Night" from Cincinnati 1987, which was sung before JBJ destroyed his voice during the SWW tour. Absolutely epic performance, but...

In my opinion, Bon Jovi played some of the best concerts during a short tour in Japan in early January 1991. The highlight of this mini-reunion tour was the second night in Osaka. To this day, it is THE BEST JOVI SHOW EVER. Absolutely the greatest "Wanted Dead or Alive" I ever heard. The greatest "Diamond Ring" I ever heard. The greatest "It's My Life / We Gotta Get Out of This Place" I ever heard. And... that "Wild is the Wind":

"Wild is the Wind" (live at Castle Hall, Osaka on January 9th, 1991)

Full Show:
I could kill someone for the official DVD of this concert.

Wild Is The Wind was my first favourite song from Bon Jovi and will always have a very special meaning to me - and I agree, this is THE performance!!!
Jon always pulled songs off better when he abandoned his guitar.

Wild is the Wind Largo, MD 1989

Quality sucks, but you can tell it was an awesome performance.

For quality, Prayer from Tokyo, 1990 New Years.

I agree about that Japan run. They sounded amazing. Very tight. Oddly, that was the same time that RIP Magazine article came out about all the strife in the band,
