Minority here? Or at the show? Was the crowd good? Glad you enjoyed yourself!

I just came back from the show and let me tell you about all those people complaining and bitching about the setlist, you weren't even at the show! It was a great performance, I think one of the best I have ever seen live. The new songs are pretty good, Jon was not a statue and moved around a lot on every song tonight, was really active and energetic.

The performance itself was quite solid compared to when I saw them last time in Ottawa with Phil X. I don't really care what they play as long as they put on a good show and even though I had certain requests I was just happy to hear Wild Is The Wind. That being said looking forward to tomorrow night, whether they change the setlist or not it will be one hell of a show and I know me and my sister/brother will have a blast.

All in all, don't complain about the setlist if you weren't at the show. Great performance, lots of energy, crowd was totally into it! Wow 7 songs from the new album, pretty damn cool!

Just got back and had to get a bullet form review in...

- least amount of energy ive ever seen from a Toronto show.
- JBJ barely left the mic stand, i can count how often he did on one hand
- a couple noticeable mistakes
- a setlist that basically had Jon switching out his guitar for a newly tuned one every song
- a horrible setlist with too much LH

Honestly, this was my 21st show and it was by far the worst ive ever seen. It was like they were on a timer and thats it. No banter, no comments, a couple obvious lines to the crowd and a set that was brutal. I sat 20th row on the floor and looked around and basically saw a bunch of people not moving at all. The atmosphere on the floor was horrid. The new songs went over surprisingly well, but songs like LH, WLOL, WWWB, etc just take the life out of the crowd.

JBJ was not what im used to, though i only saw Hull on video it reminded me of that. He didnt move at all, the show seems very stale and forced.

I can honestly say after tomorrow night im likely done with this band live. The band has played Toronto early in a tour before but theres always something that holds the set up. This was simply put, awful.

Im not complaining, or being negative, just pointing out what I saw and felt. Those that are frustrated in the PBP have the right to be, and for those that think im full of it, check out youtube tomorrow. Jon has decided not to sing the key change in prayer at all anymore.

Talk about conflicting reports there. "lots of energy, crowd was totally into it!" ( ) vs. "the atmosphere on the floor was horrid" ( ). Who's lying?

You're dismissing the new album songs for old classics. Why? New album is out and we want to hear the new songs live. This set list would be a nostalgia gig and that would spell the end of Bon Jovi

We'll let youtube be the judge to that

Care to sauce? Seems weird.

We have got two completely conflicting reviews from people who were actually at the show. To youtube to judge!

??????????????????

I find that kind of hard to believe when I was there during Toronto Night 2 during the summer Stadium leg. And... I guess I don't doubt that it could be better than that show, but I'm finding it hard to believe.

4 songs from LH vs 3 songs from an entire decade of their career??? This setlist would go down like a lead balloon in Europe. I don't care if its the best version of WLOL i've ever heard, i'd rather hear a weaker version of a better song.
