No Richie on current leg of the tour

Four defeats from four!

But yeah things are fairly okay at the moment...certainly better than this time last season!

Cheers for this. This has really made my evening! It's been a long long long time since I've listened or watched any Bon Jovi related stuff with so much interest. Wanted Dead or Alive is immense. How can Jon kill it as he does in every single ****in gig, yet Richie still delivers it as it should be delivered...

Anyway. Really enjoyed this. Hoping for some form of mini-tour with Orianthi now. Maybe even some albums. That woman kicks ass!

I think Seven Years Gone could've benefitted from a leaner arrangement, seeing how Prayer was rearranged way bluesier. Oh well. Still a pretty cool performance, overall.

Thanks for the links and yes- Richie sounds like a million bucks!

I can't think of a better stripped performance of Prayer ever. It's not well rehearsed, but there is some magic there.

Richie has been hit or miss lately but the little I've seen from these videos leads me to believe he is cable of great things.

Thank you for this! Incredible performance. Richie and Orianthi sound great together. I hope they'll work together in the studio too. They have great chemistry.

Just a thought - isn't it time we closed down this thread and discussed performances like these individually? It doesn't have anything to do with the tour anymore plus - I'd hate to miss something like this, simply because it gets cluttered in here somewhere.

Otherwise - god damn it, Richie! Make more f*ckin' music cause you're unbelievable at it!

and so he should - he has just had a year off while the rest of the band played 90 odd shows.

But he isnt making more music is he? He is doing Bon Jovi songs - the songs he didnt want to play on the tour.

God damn it steel horse. You sound like a bitter old man. Just get over it already...that band he was in was just butchering his songs. Now he does them properly. That IS making music in my book.
