****in' awesome!!! If only Richie had a LES PAUL in his hands...

Sublime ,i was begining to think that there was a conspiracy about this song and youtube there for a time as people had it on private and others taking it down but glad to see it now.

*jaw on floor*

Wow. Completely agreed, that would have been the only thing I'd change. Maybe not deviating so much from the actual solo. Not that I'm complaining, this was insanely good.

Holy fu*k that's incredible. I never liked the song but Richie doing it like that is mind-blowingly brilliant. His voice is spectacular; so bluesy. And his guitar playing is astonishing. I haven't seen him pull faces like that in quite a while.

I think I've run out adjectives to describe how good that is!:p

****ing right! That performance just melted my face off!

You can tell the band enjoyed jamming properly like that, the simple arrangements of alot of the post 2000 songs must get boring playing night after night and something like this lets them let their hair down a bit, which is always good thing.

HOLY SHIT! :mrgreen: My first show just can't get here fast enough!

Tico doesn't miss a beat either!
He's freaking rocking this tour!
I like it!

I've got a few YouTube videos to share with you of Bon Jovi and Jon Bon Jovi himself performing from the 90's to the 00's. I just picked a handful which I felt were the finest performances Bon Jovi had ever displayed. Plus, this list doesn't contain all those classic hits and half of them are cover songs...just goes to show how good Bon Jovi is live.

1991 Academy Awards - Blaze of Glory

<--- Jon sings it like the record!
Jon Bon Jovi's 'Blaze of Glory' was nominated for 'Best Original Song' for the Oscars. He sings it like the record, the best performance of Blaze of Glory in my opinion.

1992 An Evening With Bon Jovi - With a Little...

<--- Jon definitely warmed up his voice here
An MTV Special to promote the KTF album. Bon Jovi cover 'With a Little Help From My Friends' (Wonder Years theme song). Excellent performance from the band. Jon's voice was at its best here.

1994 Top Of The Pops - Always

<--- Best vocal performance of 'Always'
He is NOT lip-synching in this performance. Jon's vocals are live and is singing along with the playback music of 'Always'. This is the best vocal performance of 'Always' in my opinion.

1996 Live in Yokahama (These Days Tour) -...

<--- Your hairs will raise when he hits the high notes
The best performance of STBI in my opinion. Got goosebumps when he reached the high notes.

1997 Songs & Visions - Keep The Faith/Sympathy...

<--- Great rough vocals in 'Sympathy for the Devil'.
Jon continued to do live performances after Bon Jovi went on a hiatus after the TD tour. He gets back to his rougher vocals and is probably the finest performance of 'Sympathy For The Devil' he has ever done.

1997 Songs & Visions - Travellin' Band

<--- More classic Bon Jovi singing
From the same concert as above, but covers Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Travellin Band'. Again singing with rough vocals.

1997 A Gala For The President - Try A Little...

<--- A MUST WATCH! Jon singing soul!
He was singing for President Clinton at the time, covering a 60's soul song by Otis Redding. Jon mixes his clean vocals with his rough vocals. This performance just amazed me, and you can see that Bill Clinton and others around him were so tuned in by this performance.

2001 Live at Giants Stadium (One Wild Night Tour)...

<--- The best 'Keep The Faith' performance
The best Keep The Faith performance in my opinion. Jon screams with ease where he does that 'Jungle' part in the middle of the song. His voice seemed to get better as the song progressed. A phenomenal performance from the band!

2002 NFL Kickoff Live from Times Square - America...

<--- It was fitting that Jon sung it so beautifully
Bon Jovi opened the 2002 NFL season with an amazing concert. They concluded with 'America the Beautiful' and Jon sings it beautifully.

The only reason I'll miss Lorenza. Her violin added such a beautiful texture to Blood Money.
This song is soo beautiful....

My husband will miss the eye candy. He felt it only fair since we women had Richie and Jon that he got Lorenza.
