Seems to be a review of the L.A. Staples Center and while it is pretty complementary it is amateurishly written.
He says the show is 3/3 and also that it is Thursday night only one of which could be true as glancing at a calandar would have cleared up and Richie's vocal turn on DOWNTOWN TRAIN was great apparently.

Apparently the fans belted out the classics hits like 'Superman'.

Aloha !

This review reads like it was written by Bon Jovi Management in order to get good press for the O2 shows. I've never read a reviewer say a city should feel honoured about having a band performing there. It's terribly written.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Las Vegas review:

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010...-hits-mgm-gra/

Bon Jovi goes full circle with classic, new hits at MGM Grand


By Robin Leach (contact)
Monday, March 8, 2010 | 10:06 a.m.

Bon Jovi at MGM Grand Garden Arena

Talk about high energy. Talk about unrequited passion. Talk about giving it your all. For Bon Jovi, the New Jersey rockers’ Las Vegas weekend stop for the new Circle Tour simply had to be the best of the 135 shows -- and it was!

Bon Jovi gave until there was no more to give. Electrifying, extraordinary, exciting, enthusiastic and exuberant. There aren’t enough words in Webster’s to use (starting with “e”!) to describe the power -- and the wattage. The band went full circle with old and new hits. They put The Circle in the square MGM Grand Garden Arena!

Contributing photographer Tom Donoghue was the only outside photographer permitted to shoot the sensational show especially for Vegas DeLuxe. This is a remarkable photo gallery of top rockers at work and at play simply enjoying themselves and their talents while thrilling fans in the sold-out arena.

After playing Los Angeles, Bon Jovi took two days off from the crazed tour schedule to play and rest in Las Vegas in advance of the Saturday night show.

While here, Richie Sambora, a huge fan of The Beatles, finally managed to introduce frontman Jon Bon Jovi to one of his favorite shows last night, Love by Cirque du Soleil at The Mirage. Richie and Jon plus a group of 16 friends and family members enjoyed the early performance before going to dinner at Japonais in The Mirage.

After the performance, the entire group went backstage to meet the cast, where Jon and Richie were greeted with loud applause. The rockers instantly returned the applause, telling the cast how much they enjoyed the show. They also met some members of the audio team, where Richie talked about guitar riffs from the show’s remastered recording of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”

Bon Jovi headed out of town yesterday giddy with the success of the Las Vegas tour stop. In all, the band will be playing in 30 countries through next year.

From BBC News:

Jon Bon Jovi must be Jesus reincarnated, getting better with every performance he does and never aging. Songs like Livin' on a sin and It's my medicine had the crowd screaming for more as the 21 year old (looking) frontman flew about the stage.

Lord Richard Sambora's brilliant solos caused a flurry of female undergarments to be thrown onto the stage in a fit of passion, the Olympian front man was nearly drowned in a pile of panties but luckily 'Huge' McDonald was on hand to pull JBJ (real initials JC) to safety.

But Richies eyes were not on the female fans, he could often be seen pouting at beloved singer Jon who reciprocated the lead guitarists love with a million watt smile. As Richie sang homobound train we knew where his heart really was. Still the fans loved every second of he homoerotic tension, so count me in.

Apparently, they also performed a lesser known track from New Jersey entitled Downtown Train. I must have missed that one. Was it a B-side?
