You can see Jon walking straight towards Phil X at the end of "Raise Your Hands" while "Born To Be My Baby" is starting (and sounding weird), but then the video stops and you're left wondering what happened next. LOL

Has it occured to any of you that Jon did that because in the last decade Richies alcohol/drug issues got increasingly worse, he was often off in his own world onstage, Jon wasn't ever sure which Richie he was going to get, Richie didn't show up for rehearsals etc, by their own words if you didn't chain Richie to a chair he wouldn't talk to you about how he was etc... and up to the MTV taping where Richie couldn't play Wanted, he didn't even acknowledge he was in trouble.
Yes now it seems Richie is sober and yes maybe Richie feels he's earned another shot at being completely trusted by Jon, but it's tough to give up those protective habits and even tougher to treat someone like an equal again after you watched them fall so far, and alot of the time you don't even realize you are still treating them like you were when they were fragil.

I agree with you, I think that's what happened and is still happening.

It sounds like Phil starts playing Lost Highway instead of BTBMB right here - http://youtu.be/InFFHDuzN24?t=2m34s. Shame the video cuts out before Jon goes over to him.

I hear you!

By the way, are you from Belgium? Your username is referring to a college right?

Yeah, that's the video I was talking about... I can't hear "Lost Highway", but a complete video would definitely help!

David Bergman wrote this on one of his photos regarding setlists. This was written for the Hyde Park show.

Jon Bon Jovi often refers back to old setlists when planning each night's show. He looks at recent concerts and previous years at the same venue.

Yes. Definatley the best way to view a live performance.
So good, why go there???

Funny isn't it,you go to a show enjoy it for what it is (ie no Sambora)come home buzzing and then someone who watches a few yt clips decides it was crap.
Then there's the ones who have been to one show in their lives and moan that the band aren't playing any rare songs!!! I mean ffs they then wank themselves silly because because they read on a setlist that Garageland was played like it's made any difference to them except it's some different letters on a computer screen.
And then there's the miserable “diehards”

who despite them being in a minority at a show think they should hear what they want to hear to the point that DC and TD isn't enough for them and Jon should notice them in a crowd and know what the **** they want to hear and he,ll know exactly what song to play to make them all happy at once.
Rant over……………for now.

I thought that's what he did, but it's nice to know from people who can actually tell firsthand!
