The Official June 16 RDS Arena, Dublin, Ireland Thread

Last night was the first night I've seen him looked really tired in a while.
Age is definitely catching up but he's still absolutely incredible

Maybe two nights in a row simply are too much for him at this stage. We gotta remember that his drumming style always has been very physical as well.

It's amazing how much more chilled out about this kind of stuff Jon is these days. A few years ago this would have resulted in the stink eye from hell...

He's still smashing the drums hard which is great to see. I'm sure that has something to do with him looking tired but the band wouldn't sound the same if he was playing half heartedly.



Haha, I was thinking that.

He used to be on the band like white on rice if they made the smallest mistake but now he seems not overly bothered. His poor vocals have probably made him realise that everything doesn't have to be perfect.

Possibly. Apart from them two mistakes (obviously two isn't great) he was an absolute machine again. He's still got it.

A couple of mistakes wouldn't ordinarily concern me; but even during the Moscow show, he seemed to be struggling some. I wondered if he was sick or just tired. He was still beating the hell out of the drums; but it looked like it was costing him.

Havnt posted here in a long long time! Life gets in the way and all that.

After the Slane concert I have to admit I had sort of gave up on the band. I had seen them 6 times at that point, highlight was the RDS in 2011, both nights were incredible while Slane was the worst id seen the band.

I juts got married in March and my wife had never been to a Bon Jovi concert so i thought I would take her along and pray that they gave a good showing. She was also driving so I was able to drink a few pints :P

I have to say last nights show was fantastic!Yes Jon is not the singer he was, but last night he had the passion, the band put in a great shift and the audience where eating out of the hands all nights. I havnt been sitting a Jovi concert since I was 15, but everyone on the stand was on their feet, everyone was singing along and Jon looked like he really enjoyed it.

If they could have that passion for their Album outputs again ti would be awesome but at least they have that back catalog to pull out.

Tico has been sucking on oxygen after some demanding songs for something like 8 or 10 years, at least according to fans who were sitting behind the stage in arenas in the US. Even back in Mannheim 2011, I noticed him struggling to keep up with a few songs in certain spots, but overall I think he's still the biggest joy to watch during a live concert

Yep, he's definitely had an oxygen tank beside him for years now.

Jon has one under the stage too. It's not that uncommon these days. The Chili Peppers use them too.

Is Tico's Oxygen Tank due to smoking? getting older? both? Same with Jon?
