First Jovi show...was it worth it? Yes. Would I do multiple shows? No, I don't want to see the same show over and over and start nit picking about set lists and performances. But if Richie returns, I'd love to see a true Bon Jovi show. It was short by Jovi standards but after a 3-hour LA show, I didn't think we would get a long show with any rarities. Maybe the next (and last) show of this leg will.

The show started at 8:40 although my ticket said 8:00 and my reminder email said to be there by 7:30. Full house but not a sell out. I did see people of all ages from teens to people in their 60s so they aren't lying about attracting all ages/multiple generations. Only 22 songs with one encore set but I and the crowd enjoyed it. The visual production and lighting were impressive. i do wish there were more screens and that said screens wouldn't focus on Jon 99.9% of the time. Phil did great as a leading guitarist, bless him for filling in. Jon did fine. A couple of more comments:
Because We Can - may not have any staying power with the Jovi catalog but it worked well live with the crowd.
I love This Town - I almost laughed when it started playing and immediately thought, "at least we won't get it as an encore" which opened up the possibility of a different song in the encore.
Amen - don't like the recording but it was quite beautiful live and was warmly received by the audience.
Last Man Standing - another song that I don't like as a recording but it is great live and I can see how it would work well as an opener.
When We Were Beautiful - yep, sucked the energy right out of the venue. However, Jon obviously loves the song and he worked hard to deliver it. I'll let him have this song as an artist's right.
Bad Medicine - for me, it has gotten kind of old but it serves it's purpose.
The crowd loved the Lost Highway songs so they are here to stay at least in the US.

Finally, I loved Tico's playing (and I don't understand drums at all), David was superb on keys (I wish he was given more intros and outros), I didn't mind Bobby and I didn't notice Hugh's playing or presence at all except to notice that he was on stage.

It ain't a true Bon Jovi show without Alec!
