They have just done Run Run Rudolph and so This Is Christmas

These Days!

Always.
Listening over the phone, but Jon sounds like he is really struggling with it. I may be wrong and it may just be the feedback, background noise etc. Otherwise he sounded good from what I heard on the other songs.

Awesome concert, better than last night. 98% full. Crowd really got into it.

Most surreal Jovi show of the 8 I've attended. Seemed like JBJ decided to let loose a bit. Crowd around is were sitting a lot and lost during the fighter/thick as thieves part but generally a decent crowd.

Finally heard These Days which I videoed and will upload soon.

Merry Xmas was surreal. I have no idea who the choir was.

Just got back from the show that i had no intention of attending and WOW.

What a brilliant performance from the boys.

Jbj was on fire.The opener when we were beautiful was great but Loves the only rule set the tone for the night.It was loud and jbj was all over the place.His vocalz were pretty good but he did struggle at times.The set list was great but working man and capt crash altho well recieved i could do without.

Sleep when im dead sounded great and prayer as usual did what it alwas does.

The xmas songs were bullshit and have a nice day or in these arms wouldve ripped the joint apart but in the end it was a terrific show.These days and Always were a struggle but i was proud of jbj tonight.Phil x is terrific and if sambora doesnt come back well so be
it.8 out of ten tonight but this performance was a heap better than the last time i saw them.Well done

No, he's right. You can't force anyone, and if Richie's doesn't want to be with the band at the moment (or forever), then so be it. Phil does a great job playing the guitar in the band. The only thing that would suffer without Richie is the next album, there's no argument about that.
