Bon Jovi is the most searched artist in Apple Music Brazil right now.

Wow. I mean, not earth shatteringly wow but were I there, I'd be absolutely into that and I'd rave about it the day after while the adrenaline was still going, like, you know, how it used to be... Jon didn't butcher any of it - even managed to sing decent portions of it with some emotion, Phil got into the zone and made that guitar sing rather than just playing the notes in his solo, Everett's BV's work even if they could be a little louder in the mix.

Shit, there's no way that Ole March wasn't Phil's doing so if Jon keeps improving and that happens too in varying ways (ala Slash's Godfather/Wish You Were Here) - let's face it it's been a very long time since Richie gave us a guitar class in shows -if that keeps up and Phil's using the cat walk too and this is a true band performance... this could start to be something amazing rather than something disappointing. Jon doesn't have to get perfect, just better and he just needs to just let Phil go for it and we're there I think. Still, I won't hold my breath, but there's potential.

I'm genuinely surprised myself to say this, but I agree!

I absolutely love how they change the intro for each city/country... what a great way of getting the crowd pumped before the band even steps on stage.

Love Jon's little fist pump before the first chorus of BoR, as though to say "I got this!". His confidence is definitely growing...

Yes, it is. He's sounding better every day.

He did the same during Bad Name and I like that some energy is coming back step by step.

On a different note (thought already posted somewhere above), I genuinely enjoyed this performance:
His voice is rough as hell and breaks at some points, but somehow he conveys the message of this song (which is all about failure and fighting back) very well that way!
