I'm with you on this one... Phil is a member as far as I'm concerned and even if Richie does return one day, I hope Phil does stay...

Tico looked pissed too because he meant it for me, not Big Meanie. Do you remember when Jon went out in the audience and came back with his shirt ripped off? I'm surprised he got back unscathed.

As I've said in every review you posted, I feel good for the fans who still enjoy the shows and have fun with it. I respect that. And I've never tried to change your opinion. However, the opposite is not true. As I've said before, I disagree with the whole "when you're there..." argument because the contrary has worked and has been working FOR ME and for other members here. A lot of people here believe they can judge a show by seeing videos of it (myself included) and a lot of people think you can't. However, every time a person says something negative about a show, he/she gets attacked by RDrooser3 and some other members. They have to learn to accept that there will be diferent opinions and takes on something they see nothing wrong in it.

As for you, I've never said something like the "Really ? Where were you" that you've just sent me. Once again, on most of your reviews I said: "good to know you had fun". But when I lay down my opinion, I get a "Really ? Where where you?". See my point here ?

What you guys must understand is that a lot of people here are not satisfied with the current state of Jon's performances, and you have to respect that in the same way that I respected all your good reviews. I could simply say: "Really ? Are you deaf?" But no. I don't want to change your opinion. I just want to share mine.

So let me ask you this, have you recently been to a Bon Jovi show? In this tour or past tours?

That reply was not to you, it was to Melanie who had commented to me about a Knoxville show we both attended. You and I posted about the the same time because I thought my post would directly follow hers but it didn't. However, if you were reading the thread, it should have been obvious I was speaking to Melanie, especially since she answered.

So, there is no cause for to feel disrespected.

That´s it

Superman was a semi-hit. LOTR is crowd pleaser with the sing along thing at the end.

Thorn had a great solo outro,

I mean, if you had 3 LH stapple in the set, and it´s an older album...


Also, was good to see no WAN songs on the list...(except BWC a few times)

Not necessarily true. I've seen Keith Urban with as many as 4 other guitarists on stage and while they were rotating other instruments such as the banjo and mandolin, it sounded phenomenal. And he certainly does not need anyone other than himself to play lead. It totally depends on the songs and how they are layered.
