I've only seen the pro shot footage of Hyde Pk but I do have the cd bootleg...I'd say it is the most overrated...Jons voice is flat for most of the show and there isn't much energy in the performance.it could be a common theme with the european leg of that tour...the Lansdowne show was way off,Jon apparently had the flu at the time and there was a couple of points in the show when they lost the crowd totally...

The Yokohama show is probably the best of the 3...the set list was nice and their was an energy in the band that is sometimes lacking...

Since I wasn't at any of these shows, I base my vote on youtube clips and Jon's vocals.

Voted for Hyde Park.

I was at Hyde Park and the only reason I think it wasn't as good was because I was absolutely shattered!

It definitely didn't feel like it went on too long - and in fact, it had the perfect finish with These Days and Never Say Goodbye.

However, comparing it to the other two shows mentioned it probably isn't as good - though I think the Wembley show also has its down points (Jon sounded very nasally during BOR, Hey God and These Days).

The only one I can't really fault is Yokohama - it had close to the same set list as my first ever Jovi show at Ibrox (including the lil acoustic set) and has the best song choice overall.

Hyde Park I agree with. Amazing set, atmosphere etc but I don't like HP as a venue. Ok it was a long show but there was just something missing that night. I preferred Lansdown road from that tour.

Wembley 95 can't be overated as far as i'm concerned. There was magic on stage those nights, peak of their European career. In fact just watching the footage, esp the unofficial one where they Jon asked for requests and played Good guys, just makes me sad. They will no way ever hit those heights again.

For anyone who hasnt seen it



Seb, i'd be interested to know your top 3 shows though cos I can't think of 3 better

I'd say Hyde Park.

I was there, and I've gotta say it felt absolutely ****ing amazing, you couldn't really tell that JBJ's voice was a bit flat and lifeless. Thinking back, and looking at the videos, yeah it was poor. Althou I do think they got more and more into it as the show went on.

i think the size of the crowd actually suprised the band at hyde park, just lookin at their reaction on the clip of bounce when they come out, they seem a bit in awe.

i agree its the most overrated of the 3, i prefered the show i saw in cardiff 2001

I agree being there, it was the best damn show ever - but comparing it to the others - okay it probably wasn't.

Still, that's the thing about live shows isn't it? It's the magic of the moment - not over-analyzing it to death afterwards.
