mistakes while playin the show

TOTP is also shown here in Canada.

I'm sure Laura was talking about concerts, not about TV shows.

well when job was on his solo tour, he was playing bed or roses, and just as he sang "I wanna lay you down on a.. *oh f*ck .. lets start over"
His guitar string snapped...i found it real funny...i'm sure he did too. Thats th eonly mistake i have seen him make live... i dont think they stuffed up during the OWN tour did they aussies ?

I am sure of that, too... Sorry, I use the words show and concert as synonyms more often than not... Altho now I'm a bit confused and don't know what we're talking about anymore...

Didn't it use to be on Finnish tv aswell? I remotely remember hearing something about that... Not sure tho

Someone already mentioned Belgium 2001.
What happened there is that there were 3 (yeah, three!) incidents.
While playing Wild In The Streets all of a sudden some of the noise was gone. You could still hear the sound, but it was very quiet. All the fans started screaming, noone knew what happened, and the guys hadn't even noticed the incident. After a while, the sound came back.
Then about at the end of the show, during Wanted, the sound was completely gone. I was looking at the big screen to see the reaction of Jon and I saw him clearly saying: "Sometimes this (or shit, maybe) happens." So they went away, the lights were out and I thought they wouldn't come back. But they did and Jon said something like "We don't need no ****in' lights" and they went on with Wanted from where they broke it off.
Then at the very end of the show, when they had already stopped and had bended down in a row to greet the audience, they decided to play one more. Probably because of the incidents that happened. It was I'll Be There For You. And during that song, the sound blew off too! So the audience started singing the "oh-oh-oh" bit and that was really magic. But then they went off without being able to say anything else and that was it.

At my first Bon Jovi show (Albany '01), Dave's organ broke. The next song on the set list was apparently LYHOM, which as we know has a big organ intro. So the band went off stage for about 3 or 5 minutes and then Jon came back, telling his guitar tech to hand him a guitar, and saying 'I'm not scared'. Then Jon and Richie played the most beautiful acoustic version of 'Never Say Goodbye' I've ever heard. After that, they played 'Blood On Blood' with an acoustic intro while the organ was being fixed. Partway into 'Blood On Blood' it became electric, since all the repairs were made. It was truly a magical moment, and something you'd never see with the pop stars of today. Bon Jovi are true professionals and instead of letting it ruin the show for them, they made the show even better. What more can you ask for?

I saw a show where Jon was having problems with the sound on his guitar. One of the tech guys came out during the song and adjusted the hook up on Jon's back. Then the tech guy slapped Jon on the butt, and ran off stage. They were both laughing and it was pretty funny.
