On the Bounce tour at Old Trafford we only got about 2 hours and most of that wasn't great. I think Jon was struggling a little with his voice, Richie totally blew him away on IBTFY.
it was about 2 and a half hours, if i remember rightly. there is no way a band such as bon jovi could have an intermission. the whole excitement behind the gigs is the energy which builds to a frenzy. the majority of dream theatre fans aren't the sort of people you'd see screaming 'waaaaanted' at a bon jovi gig.
