I thought it was footage from the night I went, but it wasn't.

Bad Medicine/ Shout from the Pru: Around 4:00 Jon tells us about why the violin is onstage:
"...on the violin and helping me out with the high notes..."

The violin player, she's helping to sing the high notes not play them on the violin

LOL, See I told you they would also have a back-up for Jon for his screw-up.

So everyone has a back-up except for Tico. He rules!

now I know Jon reads JT , must have been what gave him the idea for the violins cos u lot keep moaning he cant reach the high notes.... :)

Dawn

It's not the Violin itself that's helping him with the high vocals, it Lorenza's voice. He's introducing the members when he says 'helping me out with the high vocals'.

Yeah, I was absolutely aware of this, but reading my post a few moments ago, I realised I didnt exactly write down what I thought I was writing down at that moment.
Amazing what alcohol does to you...lol

:D Ok then

Welcome :)

Woah how good is its hard letting you go acoustic? does it still have the synth or is it just jon and richie? Of course presuming you have it hehe

Richie doing Stranger In This Town on 11/4/2007. Can see the new tat somewhat.

MMM very good

Runaway sounded great.

Thanks so much for the link. I couldn't believe that no one had posted it yet, but my searches found nothing. Might be because Sambora is spelled Smabora in the Youtube tags!

I was thrilled with seeing Richie do "These Days" on the 28th, but I think this is even better. Dave & Tico seemed to be enjoying themselves, too. Well done, guys!

Was that in the middle of the setlist?

It looks like it was about 2/3 through -- after Bad Medicine (yes, with Shout before anyone asks ;)) and before RSOW.

A slightly better recording of 'Stranger':

Richie should just ditch this Bon Jovi country nonsense and do a solo tour.

From the looks of it on that video, I bet Dave and Tico would go with him! ;) Just tell me where and when, and I'll sure be there . . . .

Here's a snippet of Jon playing Wanted....Sunday night at the Pru.
sniff sniff. I love this.

*...the band playing Wanted.

oh! I'm sorry.
*swoons*
"the band" for sure. :)

Ridiculous. It's no wonder the concerts are getting worse; all Jon has to do is turn up and jiggle a bit and 90% are happy. The band can do whatever the hell they like, as far as most are concerned, as long as they're playing in the right key.

hmmm is your post aimed at me?
because I do truly love the band. I have loved Bon Jovi for 21 years. I have fallen in and out of love with them many times.
Do I love the front man? Heck yeah! And well, the fact that he is wearing a Daughtry shirt:-D makes for one happy redhead. So I had my eyes fixated on Jon for that video? It doesn't mean that I think the band is nothing.

Ok - newbie *ducks under the covers*
:)

It wasn't specifically aimed at you. It's general frustration at everything nowadays...the number of videos on YouTube that are simply 'Jon-cams', following his every move. Cameras that follow the guy all the way across the stage, purely to watch him have a drink during great solos. Comments on threads about how hot he is. Comments on threads about how 'he' rocked yet another swooning, middle-aged mother. Comments on threads about everything but the actual reason you should go to a show...the music and the performance.

Yeh, roll on the overpriced UK concerts where we get to share a football ground with Jon Bon Jovi fans and Fan Club members who talk all the way through rare songs like Dry County. I can hardly wait. If it wasn't for the performance I know these guys can deliver and the general excitement I get from a day at a Bon Jovi stadium gig, I doubt I'd bother.

ok phew.
I completely understand where you are coming from. And I seriously didn't mean to make it sound as if the band isn't important. The band is ALL OF THEM, not just the frontman.

this band is tico & hugh. period.

I don't know if it's the fire, but this looks so ROCK N ROLL !! \m/

yeah and unsuprising its from 95. Not even for TV, just a gig

Yeah, and I see no country or plus musicians there too, just a great jam with another good rocker.

BTW, another one from 95, this time it's an award for best selling record of the year by a rock group....

Got in the mood to watch this after readin the latest Elim game thread:
Good Guys Don't Always Wear White-Wembly '95.
AWESOME.

Right side of Wrong
(Live in Washington DC 2002) long intro by Dave

There we go, by far the most passionate performance of the Pru shows (judging of course only from watching youtube clips) and our dear lead singer wasnt on stage...

Holy shit, thats one good performance. Real soul and passion there, worth the ticketprice alone for that. Tico seems to be having a great time there too beating the shit out of those skins!


andi

I liked Richie doing TD but he Stranger just rules big time. He should do them both + Hearts breaking even.

Richie, PLEASE start drinking again, **** Denise Richards, hell...**** Dorothea Hurley, just make Jon Bon Jovi throw you out. I feel like I am missing out one someone who could be the greatest musician ever. Damn it!

Some good rehearseal footage off the new DVD

JBJ talking abit about Strangers and the album in genral
