Official July 20, 2011 - Olympic Stadium, Athens, Greece thread

Plus it included captain crash... And we all know how much you European's love that song!

hopefully zeebrugge will be miles better than this

i agree with you! But these people on here dont realise that

God you're a fool for saying such a stupid comment

I'll say it again: if you don't like it around here, leave. There's no use in trying to change people. Your efforts are less than futile.

Wow what a short show and they didn't even play Summer Nights

Hahaha this def wouldn't be the one that I wanted, Russ!

Review: i am a huge fan of bj, i ve seen them 4 times in the past, all of them in london(02-twickenham). the show was really good, of course there were no surprises for me since i follow every night set and...lets face it...they gave us a standard set...
the band took the stage 9.20, more than 70.000 people were in the stadium, jon during yglbn started saying...finally,finally...from the bands performance point the show was a 8-8.5. the sound was mediocre at the first couple songs but soon it picked up, i wonder though why they choose to have the volume level low...its a bands decision of course but i guess they could turn it up a bit, richie was quite low in the mix in certain songs as well...
i personally enjoyed the show, in fact it was my best concert ever, i couldnt stop jumping around and singing!!!we had tickets in the second circle so we had excellent view and when jon came out in the circle we were only 2 meters from him, it was insane!!!they through him a greek flag and flowers as well...
highlights of the show: begining-anticipation-white mic trick..., blaze of glory, bad medicine(not a personal favourite but kicked ass...and they did shout not a teaser.), the ballads in the ramp(ibtfy-bor), there were solid performances through out the show and the crowd gave their best.jons speech about the crisis and the young generation...it sounded honest and down to earth(not a trick to sell us a song...) the crowd was full of young people-it was impressive!!!
low points:the set...ok give us a gh set but throw a couple of extras in it...i hoped for a much better set but when wanted opened the encore i was worried...at least a runaway or a these days would be sth extra in the encore. i was worrying what kept them from going that extra mile...maybe the heat, they will be tired by now as the tour reaches it end, and they didnt seem to get into the zone...they played well and all but in their standard levels...and of course jons voice may kept him from trying sth else cause it sounded strained in always, he pulled it off decently though. another low point was the new songs...with lost highway they lost the crowd...wftwm...mediocre nice backround videos(not a surprise for me though...) i d love a song like loves the only rule for example, the only new songs that really worked were wggo(!) and wwwb because jon was in the ramp imo.
it was one of the best nights of my life, i really enjoyed it and i also hope they will release a dvd from the tour cause otherwise it would be a shame...they have a settled nice rock n roll sound this tour that tops the post 2000 performances imo. i hope they ll come again in the future, great memories from last night...

Yes at that time he didn't have to try, seemed effortless and even tho he was probably very aware of it, it didnt show. The Fever vids are indeed fantastic.


Glad you had a great night and that the crowd enjoyed it. A dvd would be great of course but I dunno how likley...Jon's leg injury at some of the better shows etc...but I would love it!

I've seen them 12 times and this was one of the worse so far. Around halfway into the gig Jon was clearly out of breath and couldn't properly sing. He was visibly tired from the heat (hottest day of the summer so far with 42C). Richie was great. I guess this is why we got such a short set.

As for the comments about the Greeks refusing to work longer to save their country... wow you're idiots. I don't know what the media is feeding you in your country but it would be nice to do some research. But ?I wouldn't expect anything better from Dutch and British people. As I said you're idiots.
