The Official April 14, 2018, Public Auditorium, Cleveland, OH, U.S.A. thread

Nooooo. Leave Howard's speech alone!! It was perfection. I'll cut both WWWU and LOAP. I'm happy with the not-at-all staged moments during WWWU and I'd appreciate a couple of short high quality clips of their moment, but I don't need to hear the bad vocals. Ditto with LOAP.

I'm kind of digging Jon's speech now.

It went on for too long but I'm glad he didn't let Richie off the hook for fvckin off the way he did. There was no need for going into such detail about their last tour together, but in hindsight I think it was the right decision to let the fans know that they are not going to be all chummy for the cameras and forget what a slap to the face that moment was.

Scrolled all 51 pages to look for links. Didn't even bother to read haters posts.

Jealous, poor souls will always find something to b**ch about.

So proud of Bon Jovi the band. I cried my behind out when they started playing. Hope this opens the doors open for Richies return.

They should just cut out IML or LOAP if HBO or whatever won't air it all. We have heard those 2 songs a lot of times.

THAT hug after JBJ speech from JBJ to RS O_O!!!
JBJ always had an obsession for Bad name >_< jajaj so I wasn't really surprised when I heard it
It's my life sounded a little better and all those pics behind was good to see
and there it was When We Were Us! >_< jajaj I knew this one was going to take over Wanted, Richie killed it! >_< jajaj Richie singing like it was his song, well technically it is, 'cause it's about him >_< jajaj, JBJ and RS singing together, that made me cry!!! (kinda like Desmond >_< jajaj)
and Prayer with Alec rocking out! crying again! jajajaj
SHALLOW ALERT: jump included! >_< jajajaj

and that was my girly comment

P.S. I miss Sambora, I even miss his classy colors of guitars. I guess that "Take me" for who I am is not going to work with JBJ to convert "When We Were Us" to When We Are Us, crazy old millionaire musician egocentric complicated men... maybe Richie has to change some things first and JBJ has already said to his organization he's going to tour less but yes every year

The hug at the end and the shared mic/vocals in WWWU really got me.

As ****ed up as some of the performance was, it still laid bare what is so much missing in the line-up these days: charisma and personality.

That single performance of When We Were Us has given me a newfound appreciation and even love for the song. The shared microphone and fist pump at the end got me. It was emotional. I truly hope that's not the last time we see them share a stage. As different as they are, they're stronger together. Always have been.

I believe Bad name was their first number 1 single so it made sense to include it.

I actually agree with everyone here... Very cool moment for the band... Jon did it right... There was no visual anger or animosity amongst them.

Howard was fantastic... He's always been a loyal dude... I love how he took shots at the guy who runs it and called Rolling Stone Magazine a Pamphlet. Or Richie loving Blondes with blue eyes and a nice ass that's why he joined with Jon... Hysterical!!!

I know Jon's speech was long but imo necessarily long... It's something that I'll listen to on the way to work years from now...

The performances speak for themselves... Was it any better musically? I don't know... I'll wait for Soundboards... But it was definitely visually cool to see Jon and Richie on stage again... I really didn't get that emotional about it but still very cool. I guess I'm made of stone...

As far as the future goes, who knows... I do think Richie and the band Bon Jovi are done for good... I do however think Richie will guest with Bon Jovi...

I'd love to see something really cool outside the scope of the normal cycle... Like a Jon Bon Jovi featuring Richie Sambora album... Something different... This would be a good time to give the fans some rarities from the vault and offer Richie the chance to join the promotional tour... Obviously after RSO fails miserably and Orianthi dumps Richie for some younger guy....
