Richie at the O2 Academy , Islington (London)

I love Bob Rock.

Can't remember.

They did an awful cover seaway of get up stand up into These Days which was brutal. No idea on the first song but it all kicked in with every Road.

Taking a chance, nowadays, 7 years, weathering, lyhom, who says, prayer acoustic, candle, voodoo child all played.

Band sounded good, Liking this version of Richie, walkout notwithstanding, would like a good run of tour and album.

Awesome !!!!!!!! Burn that candle is freakin awesome live !!

I'll be there for you was played and they closed with wanted.

Will try and leave some vids uploading overnight, mostly just some clips but with the full stick to your guns and of course who says as I had to do something to occupy me during that bloody song

Thanks friend. You seem to have enjoyed the show, I'm happy for you.

Was a good show, they're not totally there yet. A few changes to the set needed, didn't really flow but hopefully they'll just jam differently each night. Richie doing a lot of directing having to encourage Orianthi to take centre stage a lot where she was quite happy to hide away in the corner a lot.

I like the drummer a lot, despite looking like a demented labrador whilst playing he's a lot better than whoever did the last tour.

Orianthi can certainly play.

Who says can piss off.

Not a fan of the covers. Oh got stranger too, that was great. Would've liked a few more stranger or undiscovered soul tracks.

Don't agree with how Richie has behaved this past year, but after all the shit with Lund and all that out of the way, this is what he should be doing if not in bon jovi. He can build himself a decent touring niche of small theatres and go from there of he chooses to.

Just got back. Great show. Was a real treat to see him in somewhere so small. The Bon Jovi numbers went over well as you'd expect. I'll be there for you was brilliant, as good as it was at Shephards Bush. Crowd in full voice. He did a cool calypso version of the first verse of These Days before launching into the usual electric version. Again, the crowd were great on that song.

The covers weren't very strong, Voodoo child (although its a great song) went on abit long and ate into time better spent on his own material. And someone really needs to tell him 700 fans who love the band enough to see him solo, don't need to hear Who Says. The only real negative - that could have been a song from Stranger or Undiscovered Soul.

There is a club night there that starts at 10pm so the show ended quite abruptly and there is no doubt he'd have continued. Bit of a shame but the show was tight, high energy and good fun.

I felt like he was abit more polished as a frontman when compared to Shephards Bush.

I left feeling a little down that I won't have any form of Jovi fix for who knows how long...and then I remembered he's opening for Aerosmith...so i'm happy again.

Love Richie Live.

This was waaaaay more fun than all the Bon Jovi shows I went in the BWC Tour.
Richie was completely drunk, yet he played and sang much better than I expected.
The show was very intense, Orianthi was great, Richie was great and the set was great. Even Who Says was fun.
The only negative part was Weathering the Storm. Nobody cared for it.

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with how a lot of the crowd reacted for a lot of the Aftermath stuff. Sadly a lot are interested in Bon Jovi stuff and the man himself, but nothing for his solo stuff which is rather annoying.

Case in point, Nowadays was played to total indifference around me (well bar me!) and then the crowd were mad for Lay Your Hands On Me up next.

Hopefully Stick To Your Guns should be here shortly:
