Looking for a show where Bobby plays the lead guitar
 

I think it's a show pre-2011, before we have even heard of Phil X. It was for a single night where Richie couldn't perform so Bobby took his place on the right hand of Jon.

Do you remember the date and the location?

Before Calgary, Can. 4/2/2013?

This would have been Circle tour, right? Something like spring of 2011 maybe.

Puerto Rico, June 8, 2007

Yep.

This was Bon Jovi's first concert in Puerto Rico since 1989. Unfortunately for the Puerto Rico fans, Richie had admitted himself to a 1 week detox centre at the time, and was unable to make the trip. Bobby Bandiera filled in as lead guitarist.

Aloha !

And subsequently said his stint at rehab didn't do the Bon Jovi concerts any harm because he didn't miss any of them, completely forgetting how it was the first one he actually missed out. Because that's the kind of caring guy Richie is.

Yuck, that sucked. You don't have to be a master at playing the guitar to learn most of Bon Jovi's catalogue in a short time, and yet Bobby can't play a single song right even though he's been with Jon for a long long time. This shows how limited his playing is. Yes, he can strum along and play a lot of famous rock riffs, but so can anyone who plays the guitar just for fun.

oh c'mon! don't you know that alcohol and substance abuse affects your memory? it's not necessarily a lie, he just probably sincerely doesn't remember!

To begin with, Jon did not care too much his guitarist. If you care about your guitarist and friend, you do something more than just complain because he's drunk in full promotional tour.

Richie was lost the show in Puerto Rico, however, some fans forget the reason.

At the end Jon is the true victim? oh poor Jon.



Indeed, currently, Jon still feel that they are as good as or even better without Richie. Now you can watch them on the Asian tour.

I.....I...how...how can you have that point of view and...you're not real. I know it's important to let everyone have their own point of view but you have Richie on such a shrine with an insane tunnel vision.

People weren't even raising applauding Jon or victimizing him for this one. Everyone was in support of Richie getting the help he needed. If your anger about your hero walking off the tour is still about Jon then you need to get over it and start accepting that Richie needs, not needed, needs help and it's not up to Jon because he's not even there anymore to clean up his mess. You're in absolute denial.
