Bon Jovi in Lisbon, Portugal - 26 June 2013

Who Says quite early in the setlist and the only good thing seems to be that Radio and LTOR keep sticking around. Otherwise quite a let down, even after Prague (which at least had an amazing encore)!

They say that phil x was on fire playing Captain Crash!

Dude, you seriously have too much time on your hands

why can't they play Radio and Raise Your Hands and even These Days in North America? Seen them 7 times and never heard those. I don't mind the LH songs but is it really necessary to play that crappy Sleep When I'm Dead song at every show? Yeah it sure puts every one to sleep

One thing worth mentioning and that I don't like quite a bit is the complete drop of Always.

I know it was too hard on his voice but to the point of not even consider it as an audible?

Agreed. I know This Ain't A Love Song is more rare, but I prefer Always. I hope it comes back for the U.S. gigs.

just a few notes before bed, as i'm leaving for Spain in the morning (not going to Madrid's show, though ).

i had already lowered my expectations so i wouldn't leave disappointed. i'm not really the type of person to complain and i'm generally easily pleased, not too demanding, etc. you catch my drift. am i surprised to say i still managed to leave the show incredibly disappointed.

- the show lasted 2h15. i could tell it the encore would be short, as Jon seemed totally burned out after Bad Medicine.

- no audibles were added to set. what you see in the encore, is what we got.

- Bed Of Roses wasn't played, but In These Arms was. In These Arms was one of the few moments the crowd seemed to be awake.

- this was by far the lamest crowd i have ever experienced. i'm still puzzled. was i really in Portugal? it didn't seem like it at all. absolutely freaking lame.

- sound was terrible. there were times the sound was good, there were times we could hardly hear a thing. all during the same song. in fact, i can not remember the last time i experienced such a bad sound overall.

- surprisingly, Because We Can was very well received.

- many songs fell flat, if not most of the set. Water, Radio (i was the only one who seemed to know it where i was), What About Now, Superman Tonight, We Weren't Born To Follow, What's Left Of Me.

- Richie was extremely missed. Phil did a great job but no, it didn't feel like a Bon Jovi show. still, had the crowd and setlist been better, that would could've been easily overlooked.

- ah yeah, no Buick. too big? it's a freaking park!

all in all, by far the worst Bon Jovi show i've ever been to.

I've heard Raise Your Hands repeatedly in North America. I certainly wouldn't say that they don't play that one here. (I've also heard the other 2 here, but only rarely. TD just once and Radio maybe 5-7 times.)

Just got back to where I'm staying ill throw my 2 cents in before I head to bed I'm pretty shattered! Call me naive but considering I'm in a different country I had a blast I managed to get me and my friend upgraded to diamond circle
Urmmm the show personally I loved it, it was a fantastic experience, ill admit some songs did fall flat, while others "in these arms" especially went down very well, water is a fantastic opener, and as much as I'm not really a fan "sleep" went down ok, Phil X did a great job and Jon and the rest of the guys seemed to be in a great mood, BWC was received well some chick in the circle was handing out green red and yellow balloons which I think where to represent Portugal, So yea would have liked "Always" but I got radio loves the only rule and a few songs off the new record which was cool all in all I had a great time
