The last time Bon Jovi played Vienna was July 22, 2011. The setlist contained 4 surprises; Thorn In My Side showed up in the encore, and a second, unplanned encore was added with Wild Is The Wind, Always and These Days.

No linegraph due to incomplete chart information.

Vienna often gets good, but rather safe shows. The last show really was the exception when it came to surprises in the set, and even that setlist didn't have any planned beforehand. I'm expecting more of the same, with the addition of Dry County.

Uh oh. High pollen forecast in Vienna ... http://www.meteovista.com/Europe/Hay-fever-Austria/142

:(

Very good memories from that show ! Absolutely killer versions of Blood on Blood and Saturday Night !

We will have to start looking for Pollen forecasts now?

No chance of pollen in UK....snowed yesterday :shock:

Agree! Also Who Says was a good version, the breakdown part was a bit different the usual. The 'time machine' intro for Runaway from HAND tour was back too!

Regarding the surprises of the show, they also played Radio Saved My Life Tonight. Also Hallelujah was only played a few times in 2011, so it was just as rare as Wild Is The Wind. Whole Lot Of Leavin' started the first encore, which is a staple now again (unfortunately), but on that show it was actually a sign request and was only played in Europe a couple of times in 2011.

Wrong date Seb, the show is at the 17th not the 16th, I think there is some secret gig today though.

They originally said that this would be some sort of all try-out performance today since no one was familiar with the new stage. But this was at the point where they didn't think they'd bring it to Bulgaria and Jon wasn't sick so I pretty much doubt there'll be anything going on today.

Yes, the last Vienna show was great indeed. To begin with, I was not planning on travelling to Austria that summer. But after having witnessed JB injure his meniscus in Helsinki a month earlier I felt I needed to see Bon Jovi one more time that tour.
Such a great concert it was. The encores kept on coming, Jon was on fire, the crowd was awesome. One of the best BJ shows I´ve witnessed since the NJ tour, actually.

what do you think...should I go to this show or not?

Have you got a ticket?

not yet...there are plenty of them still available

If you can get one cheap and don't have to pay much to travel, go for it.

Will Richie be there?

Christ he's turning into Michael Jackson

Neh - Michael had more hair at 50.

Vienna 2011 is my second all time favorite BJ show, first one is Vienna 2003 becouse that was my first one :cool:. Third one is Udine 2011, then Munich 2008,2006..

looks like a bandit.

Hey, whatever it takes to keep those dang allergens at bay! :)

Just re-watched the "Saturday Night" performance from 2011 Vienna and it really was incredible. Am I overhyping it? It really makes me debate going to one of New Jerseys stadium shows this summer in hopes of something remotely cool as this. Matt confirmed they are using the car stage for the stadium shows in the US, so that would be a cool thing to see then the same old circle stage as well.

well I decided not to go....the "best" thing I could get is Bobby's solo in Bad name and Jon's rusty voice..saved 100€ .

Wow.........

Any news on the secret gig?

Since they used the new stage in Sofia I doubt this gig will still take place...

They took pics with a few lucky fans today and had a press conference. The stage is still being built and as far as i know there was no secret anything today ;)

No set info?

dont they have 2 like the last tour?

That wasn't what I was referring to. They surely have a minimum of 2, if not even 3 stages they carry around in Europe. But the band talked about playing that secret gig in order to try out how all the stuff with the new stage works. Since they already played their Bulgarian show on that new stage they might not feel the need to doing another try-out today.

Agreed, Vienna 2011 was one of the best shows I've been too. It was special. Opening the encore with "Whole Lot Of Leaving" was weird, but it worked and got a surprisingly good reaction, and the rest of the encore couldn't have been better. And my appreciation for WLOL made a big big step forward in that show.

The overall atmosphere was amazing. If thas would have been my last BJ gig it would have been ending on a high point. Let's hope my Richie-less gig in Munich will not be my last...

ahhhh gottcha

No set info as the concert wasn't on the 16th - it's on the 17th.

See you in 21 hours.

Apologies!!! Confused by the title of the thread!! Lol!

You finally got the date right ...

"Heute" newspaper
 

The cover of today's "Heute"

So was there yesterdays some secret show???? what was that talk all about????

At the press conference yesterday Jon promised a show that lasts at least 3 hours...

I hope that's true for everyone who is going, but he'd be better off not making that kind of promise before-hand and just going for it on the night.

I agree, you never know...

I really hope he won't sing 3 hours in Vienna and then has no voice for Munich left. :( It's alright if he is able to sing at both concerts for 3 hours. :D
