While I appreciate what Mr X is doing, he does not even come close to replicating Sambora. I was at the Thursday show and will be there again tonight. I was sitting in section 5 on the floor, so I should have had no problems with sound. What jumped out at me is how low Phil is in the mix. The bass was so overpowering that you could barely hear the guitar parts. A lot of times Jon's acoustic was louder than Phil's guitar. It just seems to me that while Phil is a great technical player he does not have the "feel" for Jovi songs. The show was enjoyable but I wish Richie would get the stick out of his ass and come back already!
