And If not who's better???

Have to say I enjoyed my "worst" BJ concert more than my "best" Non BJ one.

I haven't had the opportunity to see everyone I'd like to see, but of who I have seen, Bon Jovi is the best. I love great music, but when that music is delivered with a great performance, it's even better. Jon is a FABULOUS frontman, full of energy, and able to captivate the audience. The only guy to ever almost match that is Keith Urban: one show, 45 minutes, and I was ADDICTED to his concerts. I loved his music prior to seeing him live, but had no idea what a performer he was and that is what reeled me in like this. Who knows, after a few more concerts, I might have to put him as the best act I've seen. The Keith show in Montgomery was as perfect as the Bon Jovi show in St. Louis. Bon Jovi's advantage is I've seen them more times and in more settings (stadium, arena, theater, weird aka TLFR, and Jon acoustic).

Other outstanding performers I've seen are Prince, Tim McGraw, and Aerosmith/Steven Tyler and SR-71/Mitch Allen and Kid Rock.

The most disappointing act I've ever seen was the Goo Goo Dolls. I REALLY like their music, but live they were boring and off and acted like they were all high or drunk. That was a letdown because I expected them to be great.

I've never been to see other bands so I really wouldn't know.
I just know, that I've enjoyed every single Jovi show so far...

Bryan Adams was really great
Savage Garden were really great
Several Danish acts, some better than others

BUT, nothing beats Bon Jovi

(if we count support acts to BJ, Southside Johnny and Live were excellent)

I've seen quite a lot of gigs and nothing beats a Bon Jovi gig.

Bon Jovi didnt play wembley in 1996 :P

Yes bon jovi are the best band I have ever seen Live. Bryan Adams is a close second, but I cant see anyone over-taking Bon Jovi as far as im concerned.
