My impression of the Belgian concert

If I had a choice between a really apreciative, explosive audiance, or the chance to hear I'd die for You, Lay your hands on Me, and Blood on Blood I know what I'd choose....

I'm sure if the atmosphere isn't spot on but the band puts together a set like that you can enjoy yourself....

There were a LOT of people (like in every show) it's totally normal that at some place there were not as much ambiance than at other's.

When I saw them for the first time in 93 I was 10 and I was "passive" my family too! But I really enjoyed the show! Really really!!!

Everybody enjoys a show in a different manner... some like to dance, others to sing, other just to watch... etc...

I've just ridden the previous reply.
And I think he's got a point. I was shouting and dancing, like a lot of others, but I can imagine that not all the people were doing that. Some people really don't like to dance and just go to listen to the music and see the performance.
But you know, I've just seen some pictures on tv about the concert and they showed a view of the audience and all the people where klapping.

"Oh and btw I thought the crowd was fantastic....when the band played Raise Your Hands every single person in the audiecnce had their hands in the air....I know cos I was up on stage looking at you all!!! "
i just ofund that on bonjovi.com....

i was not on stage or in the pitt! the crowd was fantastic for me!
did't they sing a part of wanted alone?....

i'm sorry

it was a great show, and a great set... but you're comment there is completely wrong...

from what i've been told it is more than true of the Mannheim gig... but not last night

well said!

Okay, here we go :

Well, he was quitte alright. Letitrock must have appreciated him since he had long hair. Peter was a good singer, at least a lot better then the winner from Idols in Holland, but his band simply sucked. They weren't a band but just a few studio musicians.

You are probably the only one who thinks so. Everyone I spoke to was happy they didn't play Misunderstood. And it's no conincidence.

They did enough talking. About I'd Die For You, before IML, before IBTFY. Enough for me.

Yes you are right, the audience was crap. Even worser as in Germany.

They weren't allowed to play longer then 135 minutes. I saw the setlist and it contained 6 audibles. (songs they'd play if they hade time left) For noise pollution and so on. There haven't been fireworks during the last 3 tours and the movie was just to give credit to all the people who worked on this. It's a good thing since it's the only way to thank the crew.

Sometimes he takes a song a bit lower...Hrmpf. In These Arms is played in D instead of E, which makes the song one complete note lower. Ridiculous. All songs are played half a note lower, so his voice is not better then ever. And he can not reach all the high notes if he wants. Though Jon was good this show, it's just that it annoys me when people say that Jon's voice is better then ever. And I care how the albums sound, since they are what make us go to the show. But enjoy your bootlegs if you want.

I talked to Tom yesterday, I don't think he did apreciate him... Something about coming down to the front of the stage and singing a sickly love song?

Aloha !

I was just kidding. Peter had hair as long as the guy in his avatar, so that was the reason Tom was supposed to like him. But yes, he sang a sickly love song. I Can't remember which one though.

Salaam Aleikum,

Yes, that sickly love song wasn't good, but he ended his part with Rocking in the free world, and that was spot on, I'd say!
