September 16th 2017 - Estadio José Amalfitani, Buenos Aires, Argentina thread

What's that "emergency button" on the floor in front of Tico's drumset? Never noticed it before.

I don't want to sound like a broken record but it's easy to sit back and focus in on Jon voice through YouTube videos... There is a totally different vibe being there live in person... I'm not saying Jon's voice doesn't suck because it does... but there is also so much other stuff going on that doesn't get picked up on YouTube that distracts from those vocals...

We're not just fanboys making this all up... here is yet another review of someone having an amazing time at a Bon Jovi concert in 2017... I think people making decisions not to attend shows based on the three YouTube videos you watched of your favorite songs is a shitty decision... Listen to the fans instead... It's not 1995 anymore, these guys are now in their mid 50s to 60s but it's still better than most acts out there today... This I guarantee

Rdkopper...the king of ridiculous comments. As someone that goes to see a lot of live music, there are so many acts out there better than BJ 2017....

Being excited about a show and having a great time is all well and good, and those reviews are completely valid, but that doesn't mean everyone will. Those that get caught up in the excitement absolutely have valid reviews, but it doesn't change the fact for most that Jon's voice is mostly pretty bad, his performance as a front man is somewhat lacking, and as good as the band sound, it just isn't the Bon Jovi that we know and love! Whether you are there in person or watching it on YouTube that isn't going to change for some....

Right now I'm having a really hard time trying to decide whether I'm enjoying these '17 BJ performances or just cringing while watching them. On the other hand, the band seems to be playing with a lot more energy and passion than they did (for the most part at least) on the BWC tour, and the set lists are pretty good - while somewhat static - in general, but then again, Jon's vocal inconsistency is so freaking annoying that my head is about to explode.

The one on the right side? That's the "speak-pedal" for the in-house mic placed at Tico's drumkit.

Ive spent all day searching for "Bon Jovi Rock In Rio 2017" ... fail 😂😂

Everything you stated is all well and good but the problem is, you haven't attended any shows but speak very matter of factually like you have. I never guaranteed everyone a good time... I'm talking about making decisions and saying that they are still a very solid live act. There is more to a show than vocals... I agree they are important but based on the shows that I attended, you could barely tell he had issues... or better stated, they weren't as cringe worthy...

When you look at the entire set list of 24 or so songs, 20 of them are okay... He okay with the new stuff, he's okay on the lifeless songs like LH & Born To Follow, the big anthem songs are okay too because of the acoustics like IML, HAND, WGIGO... Every so often you do hear a butchered note but it's not enough to take anything away from the show or make you wanna walk out...

In my opinion, reading the same people cry over and over again, like yourself, is getting old... 'I miss 2011, I miss 2013, I miss Richie Sambora'... Look I miss it all too but I'm not going to cry about it... Change is part of life. Age is part of life. I miss the Classic Star Wars movies but it doesn't mean that I can't enjoy Rogue One or The Fore Awakens. They can't compare to the original films but there are still elements of nostalgia and they are enjoyable to watch...

Thank you so much for the review! Love that the catwalk was actually utilized!! I'm glad you enjoyed the show.

I miss the time when Jon was a singer.

Really? Keep searching... They should be available in a few days... Usually after the concert takes place...
