Worst shows?

Aloha !

I just forgot to mention Dusseldorf 2011. Definitely one of the most disappointing Bon Jovi shows I've ever been to. A snoozefest from start to finish.

Apologies, but I'm gonna mention this:

The O2 Night 1 - if I remember correctly, the first thing I wrote when I got home was that it was Auto-Pilot. I think some of the excitement loss was down to me knowing what the average setlists were at the time and seeing videos on youtube and bootleg DVDs of how the Intro & some of the performances went. My biggest regret was getting a ticket for Nights 1, 9, 11 & 12 and not getting Night 2. Reason for Night 9 was that it was currently the penultimate night before 2 more shows were added. Nevertheless, I managed to get Always in Night 9, Santa Fe in Night 11 and a few Gems in Night 12. IF they ever do this residency again, I'll remember to get a ticket for Night 2. And it won't be coz of Dry County....knowing my luck, I might miss it again. I think it's obvious that it will be the show that will start the rarities-factor. Nevertheless, I still stand by my view on Night 1. Didn't like it.

My worst show ever was Night 10 at Pru. Night 4 at NMS was sub par but I wouldn't say it was the worst I ever had.

What was bad about it? Was it the night they played LH in full?

I have been to some of the concerts mentioned here and none compares to Athens! Worst show of the tour.

The concert in Helsinki this summer was miserable. Don´t get me wrong, it wasn´t a bad concert at all and JB was obviously on a very good mood to begin with.

But since the knee injury during LTOR, the latter part of the concert wasn´t necessarily a triumph. Jon was barely able to walk yet he somehow managed to get to the circle. And during the encores, it rained very heavily. Until the injury, I was convinced this one may turn out to be a very good BJ show indeed, as judged by JB´s obvious enthusiasm and the cheering crowd of 50 000. At some point, watching him limp, I remember thinking he may even cut down the encores altogether. Which he didn´t do, of course. I respect him for keeping on performing despite of the pain and the pouring rain. That was very professional.

Nope, that was Night 9 (which was actually a really, really good show) Night 10 was just one of those shows that never took off, there were 0 surprises in the setlist, plus the encore's were terrible.

NOT a chance imho...the crowd was great and the band seemed to appreciate it...the set was short cause of the heat but it wasnt in any means the worst show. last year i went to 2 o2 shows and were mediocre at best, the band made mistakes, jon was angry cause of the bad notes, in fact showed it once more towards richie and hugh and the crowd was really quiet.

Well, Wolverhampton could go in here, somewhere along with Ibrox, along with Southampton, along with Hyde Park 2003, and then there was the oh so famous Hull................

My personal worst was at The O2 17th June 2010.

Jon was there in body but not mind. I knew the show was fucked when there was no medley in Bad Medicine. We got a few rare treats but they were acoustic numbers and pretty uninspired. Jon just looked like he was completing his contractual obligations. He had the audacity at the end to say he'd give us one more song as he was tired from "a late night in Paris" the crowd booed, he rolled his eyes and after Faith the show was over. A massive let down and summed up by a randomer on the way out "That's the worst concert I've ever been to"
