This will go down as one of Jon's most bizarre decisions ever. Bobby opening a Bon Jovi show is the stuff of nightmares.

The whole thing just seems so desperate.

I wonder what David and Tico really made of being sidelined for half the show.

Also, with my knowledge of the powerhouse that is The Kings Of Suburbia sadly lacking in places...

Does Hugh play with them? I think I remember him playing on some of Jon's recent solo endeavours, but is he a part of KOS?

I think this KOS thing was a whim of Jon's he did because it's something he wanted to do.
My first idea was #fans and venue, but your right. Blew my theory.

Two things strike me:

1) Quote of the week is a comment under the video: "Jon, please cut the crap and call Richie..."

2) Rather worryingly, Jon is really energetic after entering the stage. He hasn't been this energetic during Bad Name in decades.

Most of the crowd would had no idea who Bobby was. They must of thought Jon let himself go a bit.

I share your dream, actually...xD. After all, Richie only got to sing "IBTFY" one time during the first leg before he left the tour.

Bobby's already got more solo spots (as of the Saratoga show) than Richie did on the first leg!

So, if Richie returns, it's only fair imo...if he opened with "Burn That Candle Down", it would rock more than much of the Bon Jovi stuff they've written in the last decade or so. Only problem, it would be difficult to understand the lyrics. Or maybe that's just me. When my husband listened to 'BTCD" on the album for the first time, he couldn't hear the verses for all the noisy production and distortion lol
