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

You make it sound like the way you see it is the truth, yet it isn't. It's ok for you that the live settings are enough to distract from all the flaws and that you enjoy it. That's fine. But they're still blatantly obvious when being there. Hell, even in 2013 I heard so many flaws while attending the shows in Munich, Stuttgart and Cologne in person. You don't notice all that you might find on a video later on, but even then this couldn't go unnoticed.
And the statement that they're still better than most acts out there is just a fanboy's point of view. For that you either only go to washed up acts that had their prime over 30 years ago or you simply don't listen to anything else but Bon Jovi. I guess in the last 2 or 3 years alone I've seen between 10 and 15 acts whose live shows were far superior, even if they didn't play the big stadiums.
Not better than Bon Jovi at their peak or on good days the past decade, but certainly lightyears better than the Bon Jovi of 2017.
