"I beleive" live version help
 

I have a live version of "I beleive" that was recorded at Milton Keynes, Its a great version as going into the lead break, Jon sings "I BELIEVE" and then screams at the crowd "DO YOU", then richie does his stuff. ,So my question is does anyone know what Album or CD single this was released on....:confused:

I beleive was realesed as alive ep in 1993 on disc, 4 tracks on it, without lookin for my disc pretty sure tracklisting was
1 beleive
2 prayer
3 bad name
4 could of been i beleive clearmountain mix or wanted, will have to check on it

Many thanks mate, i have that disc too, but it doesnt have the live version on it, especially the one im talking about. At the end of this track they go straight into what i think is wild in the streets drum intro and JON says "ALLRIGHT MILTON KEYNES...............are you ready, are you willing , are you able to rock n roll!" it may even be off a recording from a radio broadcast. If anyone knows of its origin it would be appreciated.

I think that the version you're after is on the 'One Wild Night' single from 2001.

where can:D i get it

Picked mine up for pennies on Ebay.

I dont think thats the one mate, From a bit of googling, it looks as though the version i have is from a BOOTLEG called "a long way from home" milton keynes on the 18/9/03

Sorry, I did check and the version on the single I mentioned was recorded in Germany in 1995.

The boot "a long way from home" is a KTS (Kiss the Stone) release of a radio broadcast, it is a pre-fm from a station broadcast copy, this was the first Bon Jovi radio show released on CD as well as Vinyl. This was a legal boot producer operating out of Italy, they had a great reputation for high quality live boot CDs, as all of thier offerings were from Radio Broadcast CDs, so they sounded better than the actual broadcasts.
Eventually they were put out of business by an international sting operation where the operators were invited to a business meeting that included a free trip to Disneyland (inside USA jurisdiction). Ironically this exact same tactic was used against many of the great Vinyl bootleggers 15 years or so earlier (including if memory serves, the real swinging pig).
Those who ignore history are smacked upside the head with it :)
"long way" was one of the very few boots that got the premium packaging and treatment of a cardboard gatefold double case which was a pretty expensive thing back then (around $2.00 per set without discs, versus about $0.75 per set for normal jewel case packaging).
This set was extensively re-booted by many boot houses in later years. The original cardboard case version is pretty rare these days though it was a huge seller for KTS. Mint packaging is unheard of.
Also this was the last "real live" release by the band, it was broadcast via satelite to a small number of stations (maybe just one) in the UK from the Westwood One truck on a slight delay (22 seconds), to allow for bleeping any accidental profanity, and the recordings sent to the member stations was not edited or altered at all other than encore gap shortening.

WOW thats some really good info mate, Does anyone know where i can get hold of this official "BOOT" ;)

without being to blatant, go ahead and PM me


Kathleen brought up a point I failed to mention about the original boot, KTS had an arrangement with another boot company Nikko which was run out of the same office by the same folks, but released excellent audience recordings (many sourced from videos bought from tapers by Living After Midnight) and used a different name so as not to sully the reputation of KTS. But they seeded the pot so to speak by releasing a few real gems (usually direct live recordings such as this one) that while not reprocessed like many radio shows prior to broadcast, were still pro recordings. It got Nikko off on a good footing with boot buyers and allowed them to expand thier line without hurting thier rep.

No, the version from the OWN single was recorded in Nürnberg Germany, 1995, June 4.

The version he is looking for is from Milton Keynes 1993. I have it on bootleg, but it was never released officially. Think I would have heard of it otherwise.

EDIT:

Someone was faster! ;-)

M ybootleg is great quality, but it's called "In These Arms", but I think it's the same as "Long Way From Home", just different packing.

interesting information by lord of the jovi

Trust him, he knows what he is talking about ;)

Dave knows everything.
