Other than that I can't think of a positives/negatives list right now. Jon's voice is obviously the big one so it would be kinda redundant to say it again but it makes me sad. Sent from my moto e5 play using Tapatalk |

It had every right to be there on it's designated tour. It had every right to be sporadically played on the following tours. But with such a rich back catalogue....Lost Highway is the band's 22nd most played song. I know Setlist.fm is a wonky site but its been played one less time than Have a Nice Day. Which was a hit and was played the entire tour preceding it. Anyways that's my daily rant, haha. |
Positives:
Seeing my favourite band. Jon playing the harmonica Band being solid Negatives: Acoustic set being removed especially since I did not get to see it at my shows To slow between songs, Jon needing a rest?? Phil / John changing guitars every song. Either way that lull dampens the energy Set list. Jon voice, I think set list is now based on what he thinks he can sing. He once blamed RS leaving/Phil joining as the reason for the stagnated set list, well this can’t be used any more Blood in the Water not being played, I wanted to hear this one |
Positives:
I enjoyed the shows I went to. All sorts of reasons can be suggested as to why this was, but ultimately I found that in the moment, the gigs were great fun. The clips I saw from the Nashville gig (posted on the thread on this forum) suggested to me that Jon still can pull it out of the bag. It could be that the tour was over and the shackles were off so he felt more relaxed, or that he felt he had something to prove and wanted to go out with a bang. Whether he would have been able to pull that off several nights in a row is another question. Jon on the harmonica. I don't think I've seen that live before and I am so glad I had the opportunity. Negatives: Jon's well-documented struggles. Seeing an aged rocker unable to hold a tune like they used to be able to is one thing, seeing them struggle, in pain and frustrated on stage is quite another. By contrast, I saw Blondie at the London O2 Arena last week. I would say that Debbie Harry can hold a tune even less than Jon can (she is almost 77!) but she coped better than Jon did. There's of course quite a difference between Blondie and Bon Jovi songs. The lack of variation on the setlist, especially after we were told there were going to be 'deep cuts' and they apparently rehearsed 20+ songs that didn't get played. I would have loved to have seen Joey, a real favourite of mine! The cutting of the acoustic set. It was was a good addition for all sorts of reasons and I'm glad I was in Greenville for its final airing. |
Do we have to give the same amount? OK, I'll try with two each.
Positives: - The LOAP intro / entrance through the crowd during the last show in Nashville was cool. - Thanks to the new tuning, with my below average baritone voice, I can now pretty easily singalong to the whole set in the few videos I watched on YouTube. Negatives: - I am now a better singer than my favorite singer of all time. - The sheer amount of "vocal reaction" videos I saw on YouTube from people watching videos on this tour (even Jerry had to address it!) should tell everyone the damage this tour has done to the legacy of this once great band. |
Positives & Negatives - 2022 US Tour
I think I’m not going to list the same positive and negative aspects as almost everyone on this thread. I agree on almost everything.
For me the highlight would be the opening of the last show, that LOAP made me remember why I love this band. That was a brave move. Hearing him struggle on every song during the entire tour breaks my heart of course. I almost booked myself a flight to the US, I almost went to see them in Nashville, yet on the last minute I decided not to go. Right now I wish I had. It may have been the last opportunity to see them in a proper full band setting. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I'm not a big fan of his overly compressed sound production either but this guy is actually helping the band the stick together. |

Shanks isn't core to the existence of this band, the only thing Shanks has done is tarnished the band's reputation with the amount of generic crap that's been put out in the last decade. |
