This show is not selling at all. Tickets which originally cost $260 are being sold for $60 (reais, not dollars), and they are giving away a lot of tickets in order to to save the show.

Aloha !

Recife is a lot smaller than those cities and further away from Rio and Sao Paulo. Any idea why artists would play Recife instead of Brasilia, Salvador or even Fortaleza?

1. It won't be.

2. They won't.

Recife is a very touristic city (yes, salvador and Fortaleza are too). I think that would be the only reason.

The problem is because the Arruda Stadium, has a 60.000 capacity, and the tickets are very expensive (except now, that they are selling in group on with more than 70% discount). They should have gone for a smaller venue in there or should have gone for Brasilia (where I think BJ would have more appeal).

I live in southeast Brazil and I have a lot of friends in the Northeast. None of them are going, mainly because tickets are very expensive and most people don’t care for Bon Jovi there. As for being a touristic city, it is true, but on the other hand, Recife is a 3 hour flight from Sao Paulo. Why would you go there for a Bon Jovi concert when you can go to Curitiba, which is a 35 minute flight from Sao Paulo ?

I don’t know how these tours are scheduled, but sometimes I think that Bon Jovi (mainly Jon) still think they are THE act all around the world. They have been struggling to fill 50K seats in Europe, where the fanbase is far stronger ...

Am I the only one already cringing about Jon's vocals on this leg? The second half of the European tour was absolutely abysmal vocally, there's no way he'll sound any better now - especially when he probably once again hasn't given a flying f*ck about training his voice during the break...

Then again, we all were thinking the same thing in 2017 and he did good in São Paulo. He always pulls some tricks off his sleeve in South America.

Any setlist predictions? I have literally no expectations of any kind regarding anything.

The same as the last three years.

I don't know, really. I'd rather go to London than Amsterdam, while Amsterdam is a 30 minute drive from my place and it takes me 3 hours to get to London. I don't think it always comes down to the amount of time it takes to get anywhere. I really liked Curitiba as a city, more than Sao Paulo and would rather go to Curitiba again than to spend time in Sao Paulo. I've never been to Recife, people adviced me not to go as there's appearantly not much to see.

I think the huge ticket prices are there because promoters know the band would never fill the venue but refused to do smaller venues. That and a lot of time to just carry equipment from one place to the next doesn't help either.

If you live in the North of the country, you would rather go to Recife than to Curitiba or São Paulo.

I wondered why there weren't any videos, etc of the concert until I remembered that timezones exist.

Seems the show will be transmitted in YouTube

Don't be that naive, these "live streams" are on YouTube for any event on any day. Pure clickbait.

It’s going to be interesting to see what setlist they’ll put out on Rock In Rio.

It has to be the hits. But Jon, please, just ask for an advice on the setlist from the label people in Brazil. It’s a very peculiar market for Bon Jovi. People expect MISUNDERSTOOD instead of Who Says You Can’t Go Home (I’m being serious).

Other unusual Bon Jovi hits in Brazil:

All About Loving You
Everyday
Something For The Pain (well, this one it’s interesting. Back in the day MTV had to pull out the videoclip from their daily top 10 to give others a chance).

And yes, all Jon’s solo singles. I mean, “Janie” and the entire DA were a big hit. The band called Fresno, which opened up for Bon Jovi in Sao Paolo 2010, recorded a video just having fun on a trip singing that one very loud.

Bon Jovi should stay away from the country stuff. People don’t care about those BJ stuff over here.

According to Setlist.fm (so take this with a grain of salt), In These Arms was sung by David Bryan!

I honestly think this set is a small step up from Europe. WLOL was performed much later in the set than usual, so theoretically it wouldn't have dulled the mood as much as it would in slot 3 or 4 (though I still wish Jon would permanently drop it from live shows). If David did sing ITA, that would give Jon a nice break mid-show and hopefully allow him to go a bit longer, hence the 20-song main set. WGIGO, ILTT, and Captain Crash were all absent from this set as well. I still think Scars, Labor of Love, Real Love, I Will Drive You Home, Diamond Ring, Never Say Goodbye, acoustic Superman Tonight, or even The Fighter would be better choices than Amen for the slot between KTF and BOR. I probably would've also swapped Wanted and WDR so Jon's voice would be slightly stronger on the former.

Either part or all of it was sung by David. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...055536c732.jpg

Can' t tell much about Jon's vocals cause this crowd is just insane singing it's my life. Kudos for those brazilians. Damn they are loud!

I like Blood on Blood as the encore opener, and at least they are playing a few THINFS songs to finish off the album tour.

In These Arms, by David

Found this

In case anyone is interested, the full Goo Goo Dolls show:



I think the channel will post the full Bon Jovi show later.

This thread and gig came and went with no real interest!

In These Arms (David Bryan) Bon Jovi em Recife (Estádio do Arruda) - 22/09/19

I honestly wouldn't be mad if Dave just sung everything while Jon stood at the front of the stage silently shaking his ass for 2.5 hours.

Almost the full Goo Goo Dolls show, they cut it off after Broadway and left Iris (the last song of the setlist and by far the band's biggest hit) off the video completely.

Why couldn't they do it in Europe as well? It'd be a nice change for all of us.

I'm surprised Shanks played a decent solo.

This happened with Someday I'll be Saturday Night, no?

Thanks - happy to take a look at it.

Both.

Saturday Night was a hit everywhere, Something For The Pain wasn’t.

You mean a hit everywhere in South America? It was quite popular in Britain, but not what I'd call a hit in Germany and neither in the US at the time.
