I was at the show they proclaim to be the worst of their career--Knoxville 1993. Of course, I can't tell you much about the crowd because I was in the 2nd row. LOL However, looking back, I can imagine it probably was a pretty rotten crowd. I was able to move about, and that close to the front, that really isn't normal. I really don't stick around any city long enough to guage whether the audience is truly reflective of that city.

I totally agree. The Goos played a crappy gig in Atlanta, but the crowd wasn't really into them. (most of the crowd was still getting through security).
In Tampa, they were a totally different band. Bon Jovi was good in both places, but Tampa's crowd was a lot louder and more into the show. Most of us even stayed standing during Right Side of Wrong. And as a reward, we got to hear "Never Say Goodbye".
As for which city is better.........Tampa and Atlanta are both pretty nice cities in my opinion. Although, I think Tampa is a little better, but I may be prejudiced there.
