That's fantastic. Not as good as the performance of Always, but still encouraging. Gotta love Richie's wailing guitar. Certainly cannot wait for Munich and Leipzig, and the treats they may bring!

No special songs don't make it a crap setlist. A bit boring when compared to the others, but I bet the show itself must have been fun with "Rocking All Over The World" and the ORIGINAL "Bed Of Roses".

I actually like "I Love This Town" and I'm looking forward to hear "Captain Crash" live again! Yes I do!

Though just cause they were released as singles don't make them hits, but I know what you mean.
But ITA, Who Says, and Sleep were hits. And yes I know they were hits in different part of the world, but all three are quite well known Bon Jovi songs.
Anyway, it's all cool.
And **** yeah to the playing of the original Bed Of Roses. BoR is my lyrical favorite of the three major 90's ballads (though I really do love them all) I will say that vocally it does not sound as good as Always did last month, but I still think it would be great if both stayed around.

Maybe I'm a little blinded by the fact that Bed of Roses was the first Bon Jovi song I remember hearing but that was ****ing incredible. Well not perfect but enough to turn me on a little and good enough to feature in upcoming shows, fingers crossed.

*approaches Jon with a dream setlist and puppy dog eyes*
Please sir, I want some more.

Now what if I tell you that I actually quite like "She's A Mystery", "Save The World" and "I Got The Girl" too? After "These Days" and "Keep The Faith" "Crush" is my favourite album.

No, wait! I become invisible first...

Just took a look at the videos on you tube and wow the crowd was great. I'm glad they got a show, hope to see many more in the future there.

Here's the video (not good quality): http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=crDPjWU6AAA&feature=user
About time, I wish we got this back in the states. I hope they continue to play the orginal version from now on.
