Bed Of Roses it is

Didn't expect that at all... Those cameras really are amazing!!! I was literally right there. I'll have to go find myself

Sucks there is no Amen intro

all 4 of proshots version are great,no matter what great debaters here say,that Jon sucks,they do corrections with audio and so on,all in all if they realised some dvd of this tour it will be if not great definitely very good material.

Stop that same old shit.
No one has said anything like that in this thread.

He certainly seems to find the ballads easier these days. That BOR, whilst obviously not on the levels of yesteryear, was still nice to listen to.

somehow I enjoyed It’s my life and Bed of roses more than I thought...

They keep uploading the normal performances. We got for example BOR from Allentown 2018.

Me too. And I am supposed to be a hater here.

Obviously, the vocals extremely doctored, but there's something else that's authentic - Jon's interaction. His intro to IML, his (and David's) outro of BOR are stuff we don't usually see, there was no autopilot there. It's exactly the stuff that Jon should be doing more and more (other examples include 'time machine' Runaway intro, long buildup to the last chorus of Saturday Night, mid-song banter in Bad Medicine, etc.) to compensate for his vocal shortcomings.

I agree dude, it's those moments that really make Bon Jovi. Obviously we all love the music, but the chemistry between Jon and David, Jon and Tico etc that has developed over 35 years is great to see on stage. Jon's voice, whilst better than 2017, is still inconsistent at best but setting performances like this and the enjoyment of the crowd make me think they should keep going, as long as Jon still works on his voice.

I'm so glad you guys are seeing this... those moments are those little things that get overlooked when reviewing Audience Recordings on YouTube...

There are still those magical moments at these shows that can only be captured when you attend in person... I've been to 7 or 8 shows between 2017 and 2018 and had a blast every time... Sure vocals are important and I would love nothing more than Jon to belt something out in the old school fashion but... these little moments that were mentioned above will definitely take you back in time... It's awesome when it happens... You'll go back in time, the noise clears out like there is no one there, you'll take it all in and just smile. You're 18 years old again... That's the best way to describe it...

I've always said, there must be something there to satisfy 20 thousand people times 30 shows... hardly a bad review from all shows... It's that magic...

Very True, but I'm not going to get sentimental and cry today; and you should go to the beach more often.

I live there

All year?? That explain why you’re mental! lol

These clips have been enjoyable but do bring into sharp focus how much Jon has declined since 2011. Compared to much of the footage this tour it’s an improvement but it’s sad to think we’ve lowered our expectations.

I wouldn't say that we lowered our expectations! This is just Jon's best voice... it's a sad reality... we've accepted it as fans... Doesn't mean we thoroughly enjoy it... I just want to get to point were I don't hate it and I think I'm there...

We definitely did because we're far off what would've been a natural decline.
Well, some of us did, many have left the boat since the end of the 2011 tour and that declined will continue as well.

It's probably the most I've enjoyed a THINFS performance but that's not saying a massive amount. There's at least some energy and crowd interaction, whilst Phil's solo was cool.

I miss Richie in the old songs, not in this new song (maybe because I don’t care that much this new song either...)

At what point did Jon's dancing become more even more cringe-worthy than his singing...

I wouldn't even call it dancing but hey, emulating Mick never was and couldn't be a good idea! haha

Yeah, it used to just be in Bad Medicine he'd do that dance. Now he seems to do it on every song he can. Cringe.

Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

At least he looks like he's enjoying himself on stage again, as opposed to late 2013 etc where he looked depressed up on stage

Yeah totally agree. As cringe as it looks, he does seem to be happier.

Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Oh come on... He's damned if he stands at the mic and he's damned if he's dancing... Maybe he should take professional dance lessons to appease everyone...

Actually I thought his dancing in this song was pretty good.
On the other hand, I hated Shanks, Everett and Phil X dancing jajaj.

I'd far rather Jon break out some questionable dancing and have some fun than take himself too seriously. Phil seems (to me at least) to actually fit in quite well these days but Shanks doesn't look comfortable on stage still which is a shame.

It is not enjoyable with these vocals. And it is sad to be reminded of this non-singing. How I wish the dude could have some sort of breath left and some sort of tonality stable.

I don't think dancing professionally would look good at all in almost any Bon Jovi song.
Something like how he didn't dance but just move and jump, etc would be very good, for example most LOAP live versions from maybe the TD tour.

For me John Shanks looks like he's disappointed at Jon's vocals or something most of the times on stage.

Jon has never been a good dancer, but he used to move naturally and work the stage that way. Nowadays it looks so strange, I can't even describe it.

And Shanks clearly isn't made for being a live musician. In that recent interview posted here he said that being on the road is an experience you HAVE to make at some point. It rather seems like he's just checking off some box of what to do in life. Phil X actually enjoys being there.

That seems contradictory to his past. John Shanks has an extensive touring history, that quote, to me, doesn't sound like it applies to him being on the road with the band. I think thinking that Shanks looks like he's dissapointed with Jon's vocals on stage is a little much. For better or worse he just looks like he doesn't belong with the band but for me it's unnatural because I'm not used to it.

Agreed he started as a touring musician. As far as Jon, I don’t think he would define would he does as dancing lol!!

Jon's dancing, facial expressions, and smiles are so staged, it all comes across very awkward...

Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

He does but it sounded to me like he enjoys being on the studio more and that live experience doesn't really thrive him. With Phil, you can tell that he lives for being on a stage and rocking out. I think Shanks is there because Jon begged him to replace Bobby. At least Jon's comment during the THINFS promo show in New York hinted at that.

And to think there were only five of them and it was enough for years...

Come to think of it, once they brought in now musicians it all started to go wrong.
