I'll third this review but with a caveat - my wife who has probably seen more shows than most of us on here but doesn't post or pore over every set list thought the set was great, cause she heard SFTP for the 1st time since These Days tour. So it's our own fault that we knew what was coming.
But the band were fantastic last night. Highlights for me:
LTOR (just ****ing brilliant)
LYHOM (yeah, I hope Rich does HT tonight but he really nailed this)
Hallelujah (Like most of us, I'd rather he didn't play this anymore but then O hear it live and it gives me chills)
A point about the fans. Yeah there are a lot of casuals - I think the O2 residency will attract them more than other shows. But I was lucky last night -we were mostly surrounded by ppl at their very 1st jovi show but had been fans of the band for ages (one Australian girl had waited 11 years to see them) and I loved that because you could see them just being blown away completely.
