if you look at the big screen of tico and listen to the time difference there is no way imo that the way jon was smashing on the screen had anything to do with the beat at all. how can it if you look at the speed of jon hitting it?

I think he was beating the screen just to beat it. I've seen him do that before.

i agree with you 100% this was nowhere near a "normal" bon jovi show. and i dont mean the set list. ask yourself the question why so many people are saying the same thing? ive seen 19 shows live and ive never seen anything close to this.

Very odd to see Jon so stationary singin Prayer.
Maybe he just felt like shit and playing so many gigs close together had caught up with him!

Trust me you had to be at this show to realise how bad it was, everyone who was on there is saying the same thing including the backstage guys - incidently the thread on there has now been removed.

I think the video images are delayed....the sound and the video aren't matching up. But that aside, Tico's expression on the big screen is that of, "**** you and the horse you rode in on....."

It looked as if he was just doing a performance at soundcheck, no bouncing up and down, no smiling, he just looked knackered. i'm not suprised though doing som many gigs close together. especially if he gives a performance like MK on the saturday every time. Richie looked a bit on edge too as if he was expecting something to happen to jon.

Thanks for posting the vids. I can't believe the lack of energy for prayer, I have never seen them like that before. Jon is kinda just walking round the stage and there is no interaction with anybody, surely he must have been ill or just completely shattered.....

I agree Deb, he does look really upset & on the edge of tears.

I can't believe what I'm seeing & hearing about that show. Something is definitely not right with Jon & the whole show is certainly missing the "magic of a jovi show", that's for sure. I feel bad for all the fans that went & left disappointed & angry.

I doubt we will ever know why the show took that turn but whatever the reason is, I hope it can be mended & they can get on a finish the last leg of the tour on a positive note.

Thank you all for sharing your videos & your experiences.

Didn't they play night after night after night when they did arenas in the states in winter? woulda thought they'd be used to it by now - after 20 years!! I dont think thats the reason i think either he was ill or just being a..... (well u get the idea) !!
