im all for acoustic shows...i do agree that it should be noted that they will do songs acoustically prior the gig (long time)...acoustic concerts are something ive waited for a long time and id glady pay to see them many a time.

I've got 2 possibly 3 more shows coming up...here's to hoping one of them will be just as good as this one! I would love to see an acoustic set. Last night Jon was taking requests, he told the fans to just shout out songs. I would definitely shout out for Dry County or Ride Cowboy Ride. Bonjovi.com said that there will be more of these types of shows...I hope I'll be at 1 of them!

I think acoustic songs are really good. Take for instance Prayer played acoustic, I love it when Richie sings "WOAH, Livin' on a prayer" I think it sounds great, and would pay money to see acoustic songs.

I can understand that people prefer electric versions because thats what BJ are all about, rock. But hell give the guys a break, they try and do something special for their fans like acoustic gigs, and some people just throw it back in their faces.

You should look for the sky and pray: THANKS GOD, ITS BRILLIANT, RICHIE IS THE BEST.

hehehehe, just kiddin, I know itīs a opinion question

With a band like Bon Jovi, an acoustic show is not a problem at all, i mean they are so talented you can be sure you will have a great time, i went to some acoustic show on radio for exemple and sometimes it's horrible, some "artists" can't sing or play or wathever, but i can understand you pay for a show, you can already imagine yourself in the intensity of a show like they do since the beginning of the tour, so you can be a bit disappointed ...
i'd take what they want to do in France

Thats what i was thinking too. Then you get a two or three accoustic songs without some of the crowd getting bored. I would love to see a whole accoutic show as a one off but agree it should be made clear on the ticket.

I agree - As much as I think they sound great acoustic, they should let the fans know in advance if it will be as such.

I would be very disappointed after spedning $90, if I only got half an electric show with the lights, and what not.

Acoustic shows should be saved for smaller venues - Not arenas and stadiums.

Not to mention the fact that they left out Undivided, Bounce, and The Distance. What's up with that?

Yes, but then you don't give as many people the opportunity to see it.
