I was at the show last night. The sound was terrible, but I don't think it was the band's fault. Maybe just a bad venue to see rock music.
I could barely hear the words to the vocals and had to listen hard to hear the guitar solos.
The guitar player was amazing, so not having Sambora was somewhat forgiven but again, hard to hear the solos. I was in the 2nd row of Section D, so everything should have been really loud.
The Set List wasn't great, but considering they are promoting an album, not terrible. I wish they had played I'll Be There for you, and Always, but they played a bunch of songs from their 2 popular periods.
Also, no opening act (that I saw), which is strange.
I got tickets for like $115 6 hours before the show. If I had waited until 2 hours before showtime, there were tickets on the floor for like $72.
In and out was really easy. Parking was cheap and easy and getting in and out of the building was easy. Compare that to Guns and Roses, getting in was a pain in the ass and getting out of the building itself took a whole hour.
Crowd was older and civil, and that was also good for this particular night. Assumed I'd see more people in their 20s and early 30s. Mostly 40+.
Not a huge Bon Jovi fan, but I like them and know all of their popular songs. For me, it was worth it.
If they did another show where they only played their hits, and Sambora was back, and the sound was better, would consider going again. But that's probably way too much to ask.
