My prediction is a normal setlist made of hits + Because We Can and maybe What About Now.

There's not a word on the site that new songs will be played. The new single at best, but that's it then.

I actually live in Stuttgart. Rumours about this show have been flying around locally for few weeks now. I am wondering about the motives to put on the show. The band must be in Europe anyway so it's either to promote the forthcoming album (a bit too soon) or to boost ticket sales.

It's promotion for the album and tour.

Theres also a rumour about a London show also.

Tell me more...

Someone mentioned that they may be in London to do another radio 2 type gig, this is all I know at the moment.

Hope they pick better songs that last time. That setlist was dull and predictable plus it was performed with as much energy as an asthmatic ant carrying heavy shopping. Dreadful.

They are having a ballot for tickets again. Jo whiley is giving details on her Monday night show.

On a German website there's a quiz where you can win tickets to the show. One question is quite hard though - who wrote the intro to KTF? I never heard anyone talking about that specific part in an interview. My guess would be Richie...the credited persons for the song are Richie, Jon and Desmond.
Does anyone know that for sure?

I'm afraid they mean the bass line which is kinda an intro to the song.. atleast at the shows. And that was written by Hugh (and played) but it is not that much of an official information. Hugh wrote in Q&A on his website once.

Officially written by Hugh? Maybe in actual fact it was but I dare say the answer is more likely to be Alec. Perhaps their testing your knowledge of when Alec was replaced (if the answerer even knew about Alec).

I've seen that quiz too and the answer they wanted to hear was Hugh McDonald. I don't consider this a fair question, since he's not even credited and who knows what he might have said in some q&a way back.

Aloha !

Isn't that kind of the point of a quiz aimed at die hards though? Only the ones with the knowledge of these things related to music can be considered the biggest die hards I reckon. Not the ones able to answer whether Jon's wearing boxers or briefs, or what the name is of the latest single etc. I really liked how they spiced it up a bit. And just for the record; if someone doesn't know the answer it doesn't make him or her less of a fan, but just someone who doesn't know as much of the band as the one who could answer all questions. :)

From another board:

there will be a live video stream from the Stuttgart concert on Saturday, Jan 26th

http://www.swr3.de/musik/bon-jovi-ha...l?act=Einschub


it starts 8:30pm German time, so it will be 7:30pm in London, 2:30pm in New York and 11.30am in California

*sigh* That's 3:30am my time. Thanks for the info though!

Thanks for the info, do you happen to know if this is streamed on the Radio, just the Radio audio was way better than the Red Button Live Feed on the BBC.

I don't know for sure. They also posted alternate links:

you can watch a live vidoestream here

or here

or here

but since they all have the same source,it doesn't matter where you'll watch it.

Are these going to be listenable outside Germany?

Looks like poor Richie is looking for the sympathy vote? Where are all the conspiracy theorists on here to say ''zomg, Richie is eating and staying on his own, Jon hates him/the band are breaking up!1!'' etc

And back on topic, I'd assume the radio broadcast is listenable online for anyone? But would be nice if we could get confirmation.

Andi

It's on now. Sounds like they're playing soundcheck.

Which link are you using?

EDIT: No worries, got it.

It started or? My stream didnt start yet... !?

Aloha !

Just a few minutes now, the DJ is filling the last minutes with useless banter and adverts. I've really missed listening to German radio, great song selection there with their "dance classics". It sounds as if they're a few years behind on what's popular. But then again, so are Bon Jovi. :p

Salaam Aleikum,

Same set list... Doh.

Maybe they'll play I'm With You this time :)

And Jon sings much better than 2 days ago...

And here's the videostream:

Jesus how loud is Jon's acoustic?

EDIT: that's better.

Hope someone records this becaouse quality is so much better and it looks like we'll get new songs too. :)

And Richie's guitar is quite low, too. But I kinda liked the acoustic that high.

Ha! I thought exactly the same - you can actually hear him for once. They seem to have fixed it now though. :lol:

Agreed, sounded quite nice actually playing the arpeggio.

Sound quality is much better tonight.

Yeah, that's the German radio;)
No seriously, just the usually 5 songs over and over.

So we've gone from Dave's keyboards being way too high on the BBC to almost non existent here haha

Because We Can sounds good.

Aloha !

So far Richie's off though, he wasn't faultless during Lost Highway and is out of sync during this single. They're even picking up on it as he's put lower in the mix halfway during the song.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Because We Can sounds like a church song live.

Crowd is much better tonight as well. As much of a stinker BWC is, they're still getting into it. :D

Jup Sambora is really sloppy quite a few ****ups during Lost Highway and Because We Can, which is not quite rocked science.

The sound keeps cutting in and out too - ugh :(
