Well done! No more doom and gloom. Let the tour begin!

I am hoping for something off these days and maybe something off bounce... I would take hey god and the distance.

Yeah I'd love to hear the Distance too, I'm sure Phil can play the shit out of that outro solo.

At least the stage looks cool:

They brought back the 90s font? Cool!

I think that Phil could nail it with The Distance, Everyday, Bounce and Undivied. Bring the Bounce back!

I'd miss too much Richie's backing vocals in the distance :(:(

What`s the showtime??

It's 7:40 in Sofia right now so I figure the show can't be too far away from starting. An hour, maybe 90 minutes from now?

Stage looks awesome. The license plate is a nice touch. Hope to see a nice setlist shake up tonight.

Hope it's a good show for those attending.

Bring 'Blaze Of Glory' back.

Got info that DC was soundchecked...

If those "bridges" join to the walkway that separates the Diamond Circle from the Gold, then that's one TINY Diamond Circle!!!

Ooops.... just got myself embroiled in a Jon Bon Jovi/Bon Jovi argument on Twitter. One of those classic "He's in concert tonight" comments!!!

Some people you can't help, I try to stay away from those that don't know the difference.

Yeah I should know better.......

The stage looks awesome, but it's damn high. The people in the first few rows are basically going to be looking upward the whole show.

Those Orange cabintes looks awesome on stage! It's been a while since Jovi had had a wall of amplifiers like that! I'm praying for all of my life that Europe will see some great set lists too, and also some great vocals by Jon.

Its been getting higher and higher with every tour, at least it means a slightly better view for those of us further back, it just means the girls at the front will get a stiff neck. I doubt I'd be best pleased if I'd shelled out the wonga and was right at the front looking at the sky.

Aloha !

Yeah, I think those are for the support act though, I doubt Tico's behind a wall of amps + his drum kit. It wouldn't make much sense.

The stage is this high because of everything that's underneath it. Usually that kind of stuff is behind the stage, but by putting it under it, they can move the stage back a few meters, thus sell more tickets on the field. I doubt anyone on the front row being able to see anyone else but Jon, but the good thing is the people on the front row in Europe are mostly there for Jon anyway, so everybody wins. :p

Salaam Aleikum,

Now that you are saying it I can't helpt but feel a little stupid. Of course it's the supprot act. Would be pretty cool though if it really was Phil's but well. My bad :) !

Yep.. if I was in DC then getting at the front wouldn't be my first thought. It would be "Right, I'm in DC so no need to stand in line....where's the nearest bar?"

Has the show started yet? It's almost 10pm in Sofia.

Don't know. I don't follow twitter peeps... I would think it has though!!

yes no PBP though

There's a picture of them on stage right now on Facebook.

That looks absolutely amazing with the top of the car on the screen.

I agree with in in part but that stage looks lower to me than the last tour?

They´re already on the stage. And it´s look ****ing cool!!

Judging by those pics, they played That's What the Water Made Me.

I wonder what kind of intro they used.

Doesn't it just! :D

I have no intention of trying to be front few rows at Hyde Park.
Figure the stage is going to be high, so best place is probably at back of DC near walkway (assuming there is one).

Lighting doesnt look that great on stage mind from those pics...

Stage looks absolutely phenomenal.

Who the hell would have tickets for those seats in the stand on the left????!!!

How can I post a picture from a URL????

I tried all the ways!!:(

Seems like Jon is using his HAND Tour jacket ;)

On Twitter somebody at the show says Jon has named the car Sofia.

For me they dont have any tickets. Maybe they are employees from the stadium, or BJ staff.
