Thanks Becky,for the review. It's one of the more fair ones I have seen. He does get a bit contradictory to himself a couple of times but I put it down to the fact it was four or five am when he was writing it.

One hell of THE review...

And after all, it sounded that for their second show it was OK! So, yes, they are just warming up!

And the proposed setlist is great!

yeah it is a good review all in all. the only problem is the songs he says could be changed arent realistic becuase of jons voice which is the biggest problem. i dont think we are gonna get these days i cant believe they aint doing blood on blood . no chance of i believe . but i still think the set list can be more adventurous than this. and please please please stop finishing with a cover. if you cant think of anything else to do then just end it with prayer, in my opinion.

Long winded, but good.

It used to bother me just a little, but reading other people who have the same gripes I do, makes me realize - This shit really is annoying.

Why do they ALWAYS play Bad Name second? The guy's right - Play it towards the end. I just don't understand Jon's thinking. Is it that big of a technical difficulty with lights and whatnot to change the order of the set every night?

That is a good review and what alot of fans think. But on the other hand, there are contradictions in the review. He said it's one of the best performances he's seen from a band at the beginning of the tour, but then says Jon 'didn't turn up tonight'.

"When the band came back from their break, “Bells of Freedom” was performed to dead silence from the crowd. It may be my least favorite track on “Have A Nice Day” and even though it was performed well, it was a buzz kill."

That just all but sums it up. Maybe they will come to the same conclusion as it is a good song but my least favorite on the CD.

Cool

Bells of Freedom is one of my favourite songs on the album, but maybe it's just one of those songs that dosen't work live.

I've posted this review on the bonjovi.com messageboard and can you believe that the thread has been deleted? They obviously can't handle constructive criticism!
