I checked this, the article said it's a billion from 1990-2014 (http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/0...llars-touring/). According to that they made a gross of $1,030,082,884 with 578 shows.
But on the other hand it's hard to believe since the last 5 tours alone had a gross of 944 million:
Because We Can: $259 million
2011 Bon Jovi live: $143 million
The Circle: $201 million
Lost Highway: $210 million
Have A Nice Day: $131 million

So you aren't wrong either ;)

from 1990 to 2014:
01. The Rolling Stones
Gross: $1,565,792,382
Attendance: 19,677,569
Shows: 538

02. Bon Jovi
Gross: $1,544,667,964
Attendance: 20,113,607

03. U2
Gross: $1,514,979,793
Attendance: 20,536,168

04. Bruce Springsteen

Shows: 727

05. Madonna

I know moat people will see this as a negative but I don't... Look at how many shows he/they did!!! That's a hard working band... not to mention what they did in the 80s... Imagine having all those bootlegs!!!

I know, you go girl!!!!!!

someone posted a Sat Night here, it's from 2000 or 2001, Jon screams like the scream in Be There For You after his coda, anyone has the link of it?

If someone posted it here in this thread, you should be able to find it ;)

the problem is that it was like, 250 pages back

oh God, I can almost feel their excitement! :D Richie is so humble, gotta love the guy:)

I think he later on said in some interview that the band actually sucked :D
