I got this yesterday and I was pretty disappointed to be honest. I was excited when I saw the setlist but the performances aren't great. I never thought I'd say this about Richie as I idolise the guy but he sounds really sloppy here and messes up a lot of the solos. He also really over sings in a cheesy cliched blues rock way on IBTFY.

Jon sings ok on some songs but is painful on others. Also not sure about the bonus songs, surely if they were actually part of that concert then they should be on the main feature. It's not really a bonus to get songs that we really should have got anyway. Why were they left out when the hideous version of Living In Sin was included? Why do Bon Jovi always do this with live DVD's? It was the same with Live In London where huge chunks of the show were left off. Just give us the full show and maybe even an accompanying live double cd album like most bands do.

I only watched it once so may be being harsh but once again it seems like we have got a bare minimum release, no frills at all, no extras, just the show with some songs left out, not been lovingly put together at all. I suppose like Jon says (in a roundabout way), they're not a band of the people anymore, just a large multi-national corporation.

Suffice to say I will not be making the long trek to the 02 Arena, if it's corporate fans they want, then that's what they will get and their shows will be all the poorer for it. If they announce dates in the North of England then I will go, as long as tickets are not ridiculously expensive but if they don't and can't be bothered travelling then neither can I. People in the UK stuck by Bon Jovi in the 90's when America tired of them and this is how they repay us?
