Sorry I didn't post last night, but we made a 3.5 hour drive back home from Dallas and it was late. Hopefully my tweets came in useful. I went into a lot of detail about the OKC show and since the shows were so similar, I'll spare you all the details. Again, it was a good show.

Our tickets last night were in section 116, row P... not bad seats. BUT, here's a cool story. I have a bon jovi friend I met a few years back online. Come to find out, she's from Dallas, so we try to say hi every time we are at the same show. Last night she gave my wife and me a big surprise. Her 8th row seats got upgraded to the 2nd row. She then gave us her 5th row tickets. Needless to say she has made our Christmas card list. Anyone with suggestions of something nice I can do for a fellow Bon jovi fan, would be greatly appreciated. Okay back to the show.

With the absence of screens, it really is a different show up close. It was nice you could see what the band was doing. My opinion is a Bon Jovi show is not a Bon Jovi show without Richie, but with that said, Phil sure is a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Tico was a machine... I don't think he broke a sweat last night.
I don't know if Jon's voice was massively stronger last night or there really is some of that "being there and sitting close vudu" going on but with only a couple exceptions, Jon sounded night and day different from OKC. It was crazy. Who Says and HAND were still dreadful, but other's sounded great. Maybe a little bit of both - he was stronger and vudu. He moved around the same amount (He did not jump off stage during bad medicine) and told the same stories. It was pretty much the same show as OKC, just without BWC and with Labor of Love. I'm glad we got some sort of change, but it wasn't a big crowd pleaser... I really wanted Ghost.
