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":

I could kill someone for the official DVD of this concert.
Silent Night was my pick and I agree with you regarding the '91 shows. I always said Jons best years were during those times. Right before his voice went on Slippery is a close second and then Jersey is even a closer third. That Little Help performance from '91 is insane.

There are so many awesome perfomances of the band over all the years, it's impossible to pick only one.

I always loved the performance of Bad Medicine from Giants 2001. It's just a high-energy performance. Sure there are enough more performances of that song with the same or even higher energy and some are maybe even better...but what I always loved was the part at the end when they kick back into the chorus (4:50).They don't kick in right away with the keyboards but do a rundown first. I think it's just great and pumps up the crowd even more.
And I think it's the only time they've done this. At least I never heard another version where they played it like this.

OK - I have made comments - but I guess my one pick would have to be the long version of Blood on Blood at the Moscow Peace Festival. Runner up, Livin' in Sin from Rotterdam 89. Both give me chills.

Every once in a while a thread pops up that reminds me why I've loved this band for so many years. When they were on, nobody in the world could touch them!!!

Hell Yeah!!!!

That's the difference between a passionate rock star compared to the guy we have today, just going through the motions.

Call me nostalgic or whatever you want but I do live in the past when it comes to this band. Jon's hidden vault excites me more than any new album or tour combined....

The crowd at that show were dismal and undeserving of such a performance.

Twist & Never Say Goodbye - 1987


Although Jon's voice is so raw, it's just bleeds with passion at the same time. That signature scream at 8:39 is chilling.

That's how you deliver a song with no voice.

Here is another great one!!
