Becky, it sounds like you had a great trip and will always have happy memories of your dad every time you think of that incredible present.

Wouldn't go for free let alone pay for it. This band of average players does nothing for me. Bon Jovi with Richie back or nothing for me thanks.

That's a little over dramatic. Not even if it was free?

as much as I love JBJ and RS I have no desire to see either doing their solo stuff.
JBJ must have a screw loose - his voice is fu ck ed and he needs to rest it instead of playing sh1t gigs like these.

Frankly, I wouldn't go either. For me, there's really nothing about those shows to enjoy. They're an average band with a below average singer playing mediocre renditions of songs made popular by other bands. And yet when a Bon Jovi song is being played it sounds as if the singer is still covering another band. No thanks.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Yeah, I got some of that corporate show that was up on Youtube. Not pretty, Bad Name was especially a lowlight and the band sounds so poor on the Jovi stuff, coupled with Jon's voice and its really not something I'd relish.

I wish JBJ would stop these corporate gigs. They are destroying the Bon Jovi BRAND. He would be better off doing JBJ shows singing material off his solo albums if he can't stop.

He must be getting well paid to do these private gigs. An NFL team isn't cheap!

I wouldn't go to see it if it was in my back garden. As has been said before, it's just a bored Jon and a band of average musicians.

Many of those commenting seemed to miss this.

I can't imagine Jon gets a thrill from doing these either. The difference between him and us is he gets the cash and we give it.

I would go if it was free, take the travel and not go to the show. I have never had a desire to meet some bloke who sings songs that I like anyway, and even more so when the show would suck ass and his voice is a trainwreck.

People say Jon and Richie need to get back ASAP. Shit, imagine the shambles that would be with the state their both in.
