I’m going tomorrow night but sadly I have never been less excited for a Jovi show in my life. Let’s see how it goes.

aww man, that hurts :( hope that at least the band will make use of some audibles on the setlist this time...

Any idea when the show starts?

right now opening act, if you're interested https://www.facebook.com/BonJoviTaiw...5553038049589/

Thanks! I still can't get used to seeing chairs in front of a stage. Thought it was an American habit, but seems to be the case in Australia, too.

They're quite good, actually. Who is that?

EDIT: in case anyone else is wondering: they're called the Birds of Tokyo.

yes, you just had to read the link, Gee lol

Lol, it looks like a morning over there in Australia because of the warm and sunny weather, while actually it's morning here in Europe. :)

Any other live links? Did the show start?

Ah, there it is. Didn't catch that, was distracted by all that asian glyphs...

That's why you're not me

The show started 10 minutes ago.. Any live links anybody?

now they put music of that guy Cole Redding https://www.facebook.com/steven.flyn...1390938024860/

Does it work for you? For me it interrupts after 10 seconds or so..

Wow, they're opening with Lost Highway, and Jon has a guitar. :eek:

Lost Highway https://www.facebook.com/BonJoviTaiw...1474744275688/

The connection is bad.. Stream is breaking up.

Who says https://www.facebook.com/steven.flyn...1404594690161/

https://www.facebook.com/steven.flyn...1404594690161/

1.) Lost Highway
2.) Who Says

So, this gonna be an 18 song setlist (I really hope they prove me wrong, though).

3.) Bad Name

How the hell hasn't Jon still relearnt to sing Who Says? It's very easy to sing for anyone (and should still be, even for JBJ), but the guy can't hit a single note on it...

EDIT: We have a setlist shakeup! WOO-HOO! :D

Wow, opening a show with the LH/Who Says combo is almost as good as the way they started their shows at the NMS in 2010 and in Zurich 2011 :rolleyes:

Raise https://www.facebook.com/krishna.kc....3352958421543/

I imagine it going something like this backstage:

Shanks: "Jon, I read online that people were unhappy with the first part of the set, especially Lost Highway/Whole Lot of Leavin'. Nothing upsets them more than this combo."

Jon: "Hold my beer..."

*changes show opener to Lost Highway/Who Says You Can't Go Home...*

Jon's problem with his voice is that he lost his midrange power. It's breaking at the mid point. He can either sing very low, or scream higher (but not too high). See how he is struggling with It's my life too. Which is kind of mid range song. You can notice that on the 'I ain't gonna live foreeevEER', now he goes 'I ain't gonna live FOREEEEveeer', cause it's easier for him.

4.) Raise your hands

Haha, that's exactly how it went! :mrgreen:

All links are dead.. :/

And we're back. https://www.facebook.com/BonJoviTaiw...video_explicit

1.) Lost Highway
2.) Who Says
3.) Bad Name
4.) Raise Your Hands
5.) This House Is Not For Sale

JBJ: "Trust me, it was a big hit in America. Hahah!"
O_O

House https://www.facebook.com/BonJoviTaiw...2463829861642/

Worst choice to start to a gig ever?

So is my enthusiasm for Jon to choose a cracking set list.

6.) Living with the ghost :)

Living With The Ghost!

Wow, that one is slow :puppydog:

I like how it sounds.. Jon walking around with the mic a little bit too. And he is on his knees during the bridge of the song.

Note: Jon‘s moving!

Malaysia 2015:

1 Who Says You Can't Go Home?
