Bon Jovi live best of
 

I am thinking of making my sisters a 2 disc live best of BJ. They aren't into the who iPod / IPad thing. They are in their cars a lot shuttling their kids to sport outings etc.. They are the ones who got me into Jovi when I was little . Any helpful suggestions to songs , specific performances etc.. Would be greatly appreciated.

Hard to say, do you have a lot of bootleg material? Also do you think they would care about crowd noise changing back and forth?

I agree. This is difficult because of all the variable factors. You want it to flow nicely so I think they would be satisfied with material from official releases.

Most songs are longer when played live, such as Bed Of Roses, so you'll only need about 20 songs to fill 2 CDs.

Take all the b-side live versions, the special edition live tracks, OWN, and pick the tracks that you think are the best.

I do have dozens of bootlegs. I was only going to use soundboard, or official live material.

Dry County, Milton Keynes, 1993!!! That one is a must on any live album!

I am having a hard time deciding what to start it out with. Lay your hands on me, I believe, blood on blood, etc.
also thinking of including a Richie Sambora solo.

This is one of my favorite performances; a soundboard video of "Something to Believe In" (acoustic) from Minneapolis, 2003:

I don't know, maybe something like this?

1. Tokyo Road live in Rio 1990. Is in a CD Single.
2. In And Out Of Love from the One Wild Night album.
3. You Give Love A Bad Name. Maybe any performance like the one in the japanese edition of New Jersey?
4. Last Man Standing live from Boston 2005.
5. It's My Life from The Lost Highway Concert.
6. Born To Be My Baby from The Crush Tour.
7. Keep The Faith from the Real Life Single
8. In These Arms from Red Bank 1993.
9. Livin' On A Prayer from An Evening With Bon Jovi.
10. Diamond Ring from Live from Yokohama '96. Only 55 seconds, to use it as an intro.
11. Always from Live At Wembley (or Montreal 1994 if you want something shorter).
12. These Days from Yokohama '96.


1. One Wild Night from the Australian Edition of One Wild Night album.
2. Wild In The Streets from One Last Wild Night.
3. Lay Your Hands On Me from a Single B-side, I think it's from 2001 Canada, I'll search for it later.
4. Just Older from the Crush Special edition.
5. Bad Medicine from the Keep The Faith Japanese Edition.
6. Misunderstood from 2002 Manhattan Center.
7. Superman Tonight from BBC Radio Theatre 2009.
