Jon has torn apart many tours with her ​​voice, I have my doubts. Could be "Bounce tour", but the first part of the tour was very good. "Lost Highway tour" could be winner worst tour, but I was lucky to go to the show in the Stadi Olimpic Barcelona in 2008. Was good, but you know, do not judge a tour by one show.

Of the 12 tours, I think "Lost Highway Tour" could be the worst, but I have my doubts with the "Because we Can Tour", you can still have a small hope that Richie again, and Jon seems to be getting better vocally.

"Bounce Tour", "Have a nice Day Tour" and "Slipery When Wet Tour" were mediocre because Jon's voice was not right, but the firsts leg of each tour were impressive, so are saved from the worst of the worst.

Only been to 5 shows over 4 different tours. My least favorite show I attended was on The Circle tour in Toronto. Using that logic The Circle tour was the worst Bon Jovi tour. Clearly a lot of researched was involved...

I'd probably say the HAND-tour, but to me the BWC-tour is really nudging for top spot.

I've only been to two Jovi shows. (HAND and LH)

The "What About Now" tour however seems horrendous. Shows seem fun at times but the whole mood and atmosphere on/off stage is horrid.

The show I saw this tour blew the shows I saw on the 'Lost Highway' and 'Circle' tours out the water and the atmosphere was brilliant.

Where did this revisionist view, that the Lost Highway tour was awful, come from exactly? It's pretty clear a lot of you are just either stating what album you dislike (LH) or basing your judgment off of one video (Prayer '87, even though in 86 Jon has some great performances of LOAP).

The Lost Highway tour had the best vocals from Jon since the mid-90s, and judging from the state of affairs now, probably the last time we'll ever hear his voice that strong. Okay, the 10-night stand in Newark to kick off the tour was lame. And yes, the bogus country stage was embarrassing and we were all happy when they ditched it. There were also some letdowns at the end of the tour: The Twickenham shows were not what they should have been, and I also think the MSG shows were a pretty shit sendoff; both nights paled in comparison to some shows that went down on the European Leg (also the DVD sucks ass).

But that's my point: There were some damn fine performances throughout that tour, and I remember we were all pretty ****ing elated about it. I'll never forget the shock and excitement we all had when they pulled Always out of nowhere in Iowa... and that Jon sounded really solid on it. Then the very next show in Kansas City we got OWN, Always again, and Hey God. It was a sign of things to come. By the time we got to Rock in Rio, I think the general consensus on here was: "This is the best this band has been since 1995." We were shocked Always and Dry County became semi-regulars. It was obvious the band was getting confidence back as Jon found confidence again in his voice. It was a shame he didn't choose to close out the tour showing off more... instead, as what is per custom for Jon Bon Jovi, he got lazy about it.

But I'll never forget how excited we all were, however briefly, that Jon seemed to have his shit together again. How the hell could that be the worst tour of their career? Sometimes the apologists are right: you guys have very selective memories. We went from HAND tour style setlists with absolutely no good songs to some life at long last. No, the band never properly took advantage because they're lazy and suck. But it was there, and we were thrilled about it.

As far as the worst tour, come on. It's this current one. Even if they end on a strong note, the damage that has been incurred by Jon's unacceptably bad voice, the complete lack of honesty surrounding the Sambora fiasco, and the confounding inability for Bon Jovi management to properly do much of anything correctly, is beyond repair.

I've seen 1-3 shows per tour since Crush, and my vote probably goes to WAN. However, I thought the Circle tour was kind of weak as well, and of the 3 shows I saw I only was impressed by 1 of them. HAND was probably my favorite, but that's because I had awesome seats for one and got to see a show at Giants Stadium (again with awesome seats) for the other. The band was in the best shape during the OWN tour, but I was too much of a newbie to know it at the time. Bounce and Lost Highway were both very good.
