I Send Greetings From Amsterdam

I just watched the webcast and the audio for it was terrible!! I love that technology can let us see things we otherwise wouldn't be able to but I have yet, and not just with BJ stuff seen and heard a concert online that didn't sound like crap. You could here richies vocals better than Jon's on some songs, the vocals for both of them kept fading in and out.

I'm going to leave it up to those there live to say how it really was, because I don't think the webcast gave any indication at all of how well or how poorly any of the songs or vocals were. Sorry, I just think it's impossible to rate anything about this show from the wbcast i just listened to.

I heard Richie trashed his effect pedal and was a bit angry they didn't get him a new one fast enough.

Jon on the other hand, throwed his guitar like 4 meters through the air after Last Man Standing, after which it was caught by a roadie.

Great show, supposed to be an hour, but was almost 1/3 longer. To bad the only encore was Bad Med, it didn't felt complete to me.

Same here, I left with a bad feeling, I was really annoyed that they ended with Bad Medicine. There are a lot of more great tunes that should have been played instead of that poor song. Although I must say Radio Saved My Life Tonight was really good yesterday.

Yeah 100% agreed. Radio rocked and I really expected them to end with Novocaine or Welcome. There was even a guy with a big sign saying "Play Novocaine" and Jon definitely saw it. The guy got pelted out of it ever time he put it up though. I did hear from someone that the set-list was altered during the show because there was a guy there thrown out for recording the show and as a result Jon started calling audibles. Anybody else hear or see that?

I just watched LMS and HAND from the webcast and the sound is seriously ****ed up, especially on LMS. Jon sounds dreadful on that one, too low, particularly on the chorus and the high notes at the end were off too. I could hear Richie more then Jon and I could even hear Dave's piano. Now that was nothing like in the venue. Jon may have lowered it slightly (hardly recognisable anyway) but he definitely wasn't under the notes in the chorus. He definitely wasn't under when the last chorus kicks in higher and the notes at the end were bang on. I couldn't hear Richie and I cetainly could't hear any piano. Me thinks there was a problem in the mixing. HAND sounded pretty bang on so maybe the reports from those who watched the webcast about Jon getting better with HAND was simply a case of the boys in charge getting their act together with the mix.

IrishSin just posted a link in the "Watch Amsterdam Online" thread. It's on bonjovi.com and no it wasn't anywhere near as bad as that. LMS was fantastic.
