Official July 5th 2013 - Hyde Park, London, UK thread

Of course, but WAN has gone across the worst at seemingly every show. Shouldve put in Because We Can instead. Ideally there would have been more new songs played to choose from but that didn't happen.

So Jon went back to his Tele and nobody bothered to mention that??!! We need these details people!!

I would have much preferred Because We Can. WAN is just meh.

I am looking forward to hearing Because We Can live. We in Jersey have not heard a show yet at all. The Mohegan Sun was supposed to be the kickoff show but it was cancelled due to snow.

Could maybe anyone upload the AXS broadcast? I hadn't the chance to watch it on TV

This is the stock observation from nearly everyone who watches this poor imitation of Bon Jovi. They are paid to smile and look like they're having fun. How you can't see past this is beyond me.

I would also be interested to see the broadcast if anyone is able to upload. Wouldn't mind seeing the Kaisers & Bush sets too.

If that's the negative attitude you want to take on things, that's fine. I'm perfectly okay with actually enjoying myself and watching these guys enjoy themselves too. There are plenty of real Bon Jovi fans that don't call this a "poor imitation". I may not have seen as many Bon Jovi shows as some people on here, but out of the four I've attended, the one I saw this past April with Phil instead of Richie was worlds better than the ones I'd seen in years past, both in terms of setlist and performance.

How can you be so certain? They actually do seem to genuinely be having a good time. Their world isn't hell in the absence of Sambora. This band may not be the Bon Jovi many paid to see, but I believe it's a damn good substitute. I can only be supportive of the guys who are out there on the tour, as opposed to Richie, who backed out for reasons unknown.

I've been watching this band since the mid 90's. I know when the smiles are on cue and for camera and when they're genuine. They know exactly when they'll be on the big screens. It's as choreographed as a Beyonce dance routine. There are times when they are genuinely excited or happy of course but I've not come across many on this tour.
