Official July 22, 2013 -> SPAC, Saratoga Springs, NY, USA thread

If what I am hearing is true, people were walking out during the show.

If I went to that expecting a full jovi show I would be so pissed. That's disgusting. I hope they know they fk'ed up big with this one. Not okay by any stretch of the imagination.

Don't like this thing.

I hope it was just one crazy moment and they don't do it again.

What. The. ****. Is Jon on crack? He needs to understand that anyone wants them to play those awful covers, I'd rather hear him playing The Power Station Days demos than this crap. Twice. Really, got no words to describe this.

You won't get a full Bon Jovi show anway, so what?

A key member has been MIA for most of the tour... I'm not too concerned with a few extra musicians up on stage. Hell, we've had Bobby for 7 years now. As long as Tico and David were there, I'd be fine with that.

I would be unhappy about the set though. Under Pressure and Baba would have been great to see, but everything else, I'm not too interested in, including most of the Bon Jovi songs they chose to play.

And what is up with letting Bobby opening the show? Are you kidding me. This is the big problem I see.

I would've LOVED to been at this show. I don't think their was anything wrong this. A small amphitheater before the two homecoming shows. If they would've done it at one of the stadium shows, it would've not worked. Hats off to Jon for doing a show like this. If people are going to complain, remember, Jon & company have been touring non stop since 2000. If Jon wants to do a show like this once every 600 shows, he should be allowed too. Funny how people on this board complain about the "vanilla" set lists & that when he doesn't mix it up like the "other" guy from New Jersey, but when he does, people complain about it not being a "traditional/formal" Bon Jovi show.

Wasn't Jon the opening act? He was probably resting backstage before coming on to do the full show, so Bobby opened up the first song.

We both know that's not the same thing. For better or worse you're paying lots of money to hear Bon Jovi songs. To pay that much to hear the band doing Motown covers is not what was advertised.

JBJ does whatever he wants. That's a ridiculous show, great for fans of the other band but for Bon Jovi fans, another kick in the teeth on a dreadful tour.
