What happened to the "AWESOME" European crowds?

The "awesome" European crowds have been destroyed by the arena gigs. Having people sat down takes all the atmosphere away, especially when a lot of the true fans can't afford to get anywhere near the front because the tickets are overpriced. In a word it's shit. So glad they've gone for stadiums for Australia and even more glad I've waited for those gigs rather than going to the o2.

Forget U.S vs Europe. If you want the best, come see a show at the Bell Centre in Montreal. I don't know why they don't ever film a dvd here. It's got to be best place to see them. Always great setlists too. There's a reason we got 29 songs

i think the best crowd in this tour its spanish one with million miles of diference

Yup. Agreed.
But only because they didnt come to Portugal yet

The Spanish crowd looked awesome on the webstream. The O2 gigs have been very loud on the whole for the most part, but would have been a bit more crazy if the floor section was standing rather than seated.

it might be true...but thats will be quite dificult my friend!! ^^

Atmosphere has been fantastic all nights I have been and seats haven't really been used.

Block 110 last night was awful (or at least it was for the time we were there).
They were the £5 seats though, so full of people who didn't really care.

I'm spanish so...thanks! hahaha
In my opinion..i never saw Bon Jovi outside Spain but i saw videos etc and some spanish fans who has been in other places seeing them says than outside Spain,fans are more bored than here.
I don't know..When i see videos from other countries...there are people like crazy but some ppl are in their seats etc.But hey,it's ok i don't mind it,every one enjoy concerts in their way But the true is that here in Spain people (me included) going crazy with Bon Jovi concerts! The last one here in Madrid was a blast! Well...Could you see the videos right? Can u hear crowd singing the instrumentals on You give love a bad name for example? It's just awesome!
I was going to see them in o2 wedn and i was confused cause i'm going totally crazy in Bon Jovi concerts and i was afraid ppl around me was not singing or something like that but..i'm sure most of them enjoy it a lot..in their way... but it's ok
BTW Bon jovi did an interview here in Madrid and Jon said..we did 3 nights in NJ but i'm sure ppl here will be more euphoric than in NJ,Spanish fans are more participatives... (don't know if it's the correct word haha)
