There are more “hired guns” than original members. They’re working hard but the setlist doesn’t do them any favors

The crowd was motionless on “Lost Highway”. One of their better post 2005 songs. “When We Were Us” now. #bonjovi

“It’s My Life”; everyone puts their phones down and stands up again.

“It’s My Life” plays like the mega hit it is. Now it’s “We Weren’t Born To Follow”. People back in their seats and on their phones.

“We are going to go back in time” and the crowd puts their phones away and get back on their feet. “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s another re-run of MOONLIGHTING...’Runaway’!!!!”

Phil X played a hell of a guitar solo on “Runaway” and the other guy on guitar played a mini solo at the end.
Phil X > Other Guy

Not going to lie, there’s a huge gap on that stage without @TheRealSambora , that being said Phil X is damn good and a lot of fun to watch. If Richie ever came back I’d like to see Phil take on some mean rhythm guitar. @BonJovi #KeepTheFaith #BonJovi

How the hell did the band not play “Keep the Faith” at the @rockhall induction?

The ticket gods love me, but the setlist gods don’t. “Amen” is on right now.

“Bed of Roses” was solid elevated by JBJ in the crowd. “Lay Your Hands On Me” was ok, a song that desperately needed Richie.

I didn’t need to hear “God Bless This Mess”. God love him for trying but it doesn’t work. “Sleep” and “Bad Medicine” were solid, Phil X again flexing his muscles, but the Sambora harmonies left a gaping hole.

I adore “Make a Memory” but it’s not a great encore song. “Wanted” without Richie’s harmonies is blasphemous. In the end, most people formed over $100 to hear “Livin’ on a Prayer” which has the place on their feet.

The only post 2000 song that could match the 1984-92 material was “It’s My Life”, even “Who Says...” dragged a bit. I was rather shocked at how tepid “Lost Highway” was.
