We fear it when it sounds like shite yeah

Just for the record - Seb is correct on this. I was at all the shows too and I was horrified to hear the violin where no violin has gone before.

After the first few shows she showed up a lot less on older material but she was always there on the Lost Highway stuff.

I remember Jon saying that he understood why TLFR was not accepted - it messed with our memories. Apparently he did not get that message loud and clear because many of these arrangements messed with our memories too

And to play devil's advocate here - I don't mind a new arrangement if it has something fresh or new to offer. But to just tart up the mix with extra instruments is not a good idea.

Did they drop it from BOB before the third show?
Cause I looked for it, and didnt see/hear it.
Anyway, the violin was added to about 7 to 8 non-LH songs on each of the nights I went.

That's probably my least favorite Jon quote. Simply because it's a lie. What makes Jon think if we don't want our memories messed with on the record, we want them messed with live?

It was a convenient excuse he made up to explain the falure of that record.

So here's a reply from someone who hasn't been to the shows, but can actually answer your question, unlike such a ****ing clueless backstage moron who focusses more on Jon's pants than to the songs the pants are singing.

There's been a violin in the following songs:

Wild In The Streets
Living In Sin
I'll Be There For You
In These Arms
These Days
Right Side Of Wrong
Joey
The Radio Saved My Life Tonight
Who Says You Can't Go Home
Bells Of Freedom

Most of them sound pathetic and make it sound like they're playing in some forgotten saloon nobody cares about. This effect is achieved by letting Lorenza playing the parts the keyboards of David normally do, and whenever he does so, he multiplies the violins by 20 so that it sounds like an orchestra instead of some drunk violin player like Lorenza.

Hope this helps.

Uh, Dan said EVERY song, the list is hardly EVERY song for EVERY show they've done since the tour began.

And keep belittling me all you want it won't make me go away or stop me from posting on this board.

Not really unfair now, is it?

The pants were a nice extra but believe me I don't spend $3K on 10 shows just for pants.

Sure, if you want to deal with boring accountants and lawyers all day, lol! I do make good money but remember Dan I'm also single with no kids. You have a lot more pull on your income then I do.

If I had it, I stll don't think I'd do it. I'm going on vacation for 10 days in Disney World next week. Even f I didn't have kids, I think I'd take a nice long vacation over Bon Jovi now. Maybe not 5 or 6 years ago, but on this tour, no contest.

But, again, that's what's nice about being single and working for a big 4 firm in NYC, I can do a nice vacation and still do the Jovi shows. And I don't go into debt over either.

Oh, have a blast at Disney World.

Have they been countryfying EVERY song live?
