I've seen Jon 2 x and Richie 4 x in 1998 (Jon also in 1997 once). Jon was good and the show in 1997 in the small club in Hamburg was something special for sure but Richie was absolutely phantastic. The best tour I've ever been.

For a Richie solo-tour: Name the place and I'll be there, no matter where it is.

I probably also would go to see Jon once or twice but not a whole tour and I wouldn't go to a foreign country for this.

A comparison to the band shows is a little difficult. You only can compare how they played the BJ-songs and Jon sang and played them the same way as with BJ so Richie's voice was absolutely missing. Richie has his own interpretation of the songs where Jon's voice wasn't missing.
