There's a full recording of the song and I heard the performance. It was awful and there's no need for that song ever to be performed live as they couldn't do it any justice the first time they performed it.

Salaam Aleikum,

A good memory can be a good memory if the moment is unique, no matter the quality. I bet that for the majority of fans, going to the Borgata for the only TLFR shows, was just a waste but in my case because I loved and I still do those versions, I will cherish those shows.

I heard Open All Night at Giants. It was very unique. Still a shit song and a dreadful performance. No matter how unique some song might be, if it's a shit performance it's not worth it to me. Uniqueness doesn't make a performance better.

Salaam Aleikum,

And I never said the song was brilliant to begin with (or the performance), but I was one the the very few fans that got to listen to it live, something that most likely won't happen ever again, so what if it was bad (in your expert opinion), to me still was a unique experience.

I would have love to witness it because I think that YT is NOT like being there in anyway (it's a good alternative but it's not a replacement) BUT I do think I didn't miss much quality wise what I missed was the rarity and the 'special' unique moment but it was not a good song live ... I know it ..BECAUSE all my favorite on almost all the cds are those Jon NEVER plays because un-doable or too tricky , too good studio version that cannot pass the test of LIVE

I'm gonna go with "Don't Know" I think it's 99.9% no, however I think at some point we're going to see this band tackle "Full-album" shows on a Farewell Tour, and the 00's albums will be easier to do.

I so hope you will have this answered ..but they work on banners they never do a rare song out of one banner once ... they have to see banners and work on the song then one day they may do it ... so we have to bring that banner endlessly !

I think itīs a very good track ... Iīd love to hear it live ... Even though Giants 2006 wasnīt a good performance, I can imagine how you guys who were there must have felt ...

And about the "perfomance x uniqueness" : I heard Dry County in Chicago, and there has been much better performances of it, but for me it is my top 2 Bon Jovi live moment ...
