3. Did Jon walk up the screens during 'We got it goin on?'
4. Where you disappointed, as a show for the tour 'The Circle' that there are only a handful of songs being played??
5. How do we feel that Superman is being dropped?? I love both this and LTOR and would like to hear both, plus teh jamming at the end of Thorn in my side was cool at the early part of the tour.
6. Merchandise good?

1. O2 is one of the best big venues for getting in and out of...much better than Wembley. I've never missed my last train home (usually around 12ish) when I've left a show there. Good earlier tip on avoiding the queue for the tube...go round to the front of the tube station, much easier.
2. My first Bon Jovi show (I was a big fan up until '95 ish when I lost touch with them) and I really enjoyed it. Good mix of old classics and nice introduction to their newer stuff.
3. Can't quite remember...I think so!
4. Didn't bother me, but them I'm what you would call a casual fan I guess.
5.-ditto-
6. I thought there was a nice selection of gear for sale, alot better than some shows I've been to. Prices are always high, I say that at every concert I go to, so Bon Jovi are only really charging what every other artist does. Merchandise is where they make their money...bottom line, if you dont like it, dont buy it. I will say, there were huge lines queuing for the main merchandise stand just inside the O2 front doors. There are smaller merchandise stands inside the arena itself if you dont want to queue, though they seem to have a smaller amount of stuff at them.
