Any ideas why Jon isn’t really using the ramp? Seems a waste having it there if it’s not being utilised.

I had a blast last night. The band were absolutely loving playing there and that fed into the crowd I think. I was also in GC and got lucky that the folk around me were as up for it as I was. That's always a bit of a lottery for any gig but it can make or break your night. The set list was good I thought. I like a few meh songs in there just to have a wee break from being so energetic since I can't keep that up for 2 and a half hours any more. I could've done without Amen but the rest was fine. Phil's KTF solo was incredible. I could listen to guitar solos all day and that was up there with the best I've heard. I was so happy that Jon was using the whole stage instead of just staying at his mic for the best part and he looked as though he was really enjoying himself which was great to see. Last night was my ninth Jovi gig and on my long drive home I was trying to put them into a best to worst list but it's hard to rate them. Probably somewhere in the middle. I've seen better and definitely seen worse. 8.5/10 from me.

He used it a good few times last night. He's not camped out on it but he was using the stage fairly well I thought.

I agree, he came down a number of times, and when Phil X etc came down the GC at lesst went a bit wild.

Awesome night. Not quite the heights of Dublin but only due to the set list and the RDS being a better venue for a gig than Anfield. I don't say that lightly as I am Liverpool fan!

Personal highlights of the show (and the Dublin show) would have to be Jon's energy and Phil X. I want Richie back but by God I don't want a Bon Jovi without Phil X either. Can't help but just look at him and feel good. He puts so much in to it and his playing on KTF is outrageous!

I've been a little critical towards Phil X over the past few weeks but I have to say, he looked like he was loving it yesterday. I mean, he always does but last night he looked extra happy.

Totally. I was at 3 of the shows back when he had just stepped in. I was of the mind set of "good but it's not the same without Richie". Now though my thinking is, he's amazing in his own right and has brought something totally different and fresh to the band. You can tell Jon is enjoying having him there too.

I had a great time in the Golden Circle.

Jon and the band were on great form, brilliant show. Having seen them many times, I was fine with the Beatles songs as an encore, as it made that concert so unique.

I would have loved Hey God, Dry County, or maybe something really left field like, While My Guitar Lies Bleeding in my Arms, I Believe, Tokyo Rd, Last Man Standing etc, but I knew that would never happen.

Just a thought on the Golden Circle. On previous tours my recollection is that the Golden Circle was only about the first 10-15% of the standing area. This year it felt like approx first 25-35% of the standing area.

I was fine, as I was really near the front, but if you were at the back of the Golden Circle I would imagine you may feel a bit ripped off (not exactly Golden).

GC was more like 40-50% I reckon.

Any official attendance figures yet?
