Thanx for copying my posting - so yours might have be deleted also I am afraid.....

Oh I saw my share of bad shows on the NJ tour when Jon and Richie were very obviously not getting along and there were some very going through the motions shows on both the KTF and TD tours (in the States when shows had lots of empty seats).

You've made the right decision NOT going to the LH tour shows since you hate the record so much. Just be a bit more open minded to those of us going that actually like the shows, lol! You only have until about August and the LH tour cycle will be over.

Actually no. I didn't buy the tickets to the last November shows until after I'd attended the first 4 shows in October.

If I had a choice I'd rather see a "going through the motions" show from the KTF /TD or NJ aera instead of a so-called "on fire" LH-Night!

2) spent more money to travel to the show;
3) went to the concert; and
4) really enjoyed the experience (in spite of the fact that not "enough" rarities were played and that "too much" LH was played) --

don't really want to write a review only to be told (by a bunch of people who weren't even AT the show) that every last bit of what they experienced was crap. Some folks would rather just keep remembering how much fun they had and how fortunate they felt to see BJ in concert for the first, fifth or fiftieth time.

Okay, fire away! I have my asbestos-lined suit on.
You know, that really sums it up well.

I usually don't agree with you but now you came up with a good point.

The problem is that 80% of Bon Jovi fans will always like everything the band does. That's the reason why they keep doing albums like This Left Feels Right and Lost Highway. Nothing can stop them.


It's a shame, but you can't force anyone to start to think the same as you and me.

Wow, lots of feedback. Well, I only get to go to one show and I love reading the reviews of the other ones, so keep them coming. I'm just comparing it to the Rolling Stones sites where detailed reviews appear for every concert. Even if the setlist is the same, each concert and city has its own unique character and it is fun to share that with fans.
Thanks!
