So happy to hear the improvement over this leg, and to see Jon being a frontman and not a statue. :onfire:

Please watch the last minute of this (start at 5:40 minutes) and if you don't get chills, I'll buy you a drink... I actually have tears running down my face... Simply Perfect!!!!

Oops... I should've remembered that :D

Yeah... watching that made me remember why I am a Bon Jovi fan. Jon still is one badass motherf***er!

The vocals have improved, probably as much as we can expect. Are they amazing?...far from it...BUT the real improvement for me has been Jon as a front man. It's been nice to see his confidence grow over these shows and see him actually working the stage again, and mostly looking like he's having fun again!

I think these shows were really make or break for the band as far as continuing as a live act is concerned. If Jon felt these shows didn't work then next year wouldn't have happened. It's no coincidence that before these shows Phil said Eurpe next year "maybe", then a few shows in it got changed to "definitely"....

true this leg of the tour gave some confidence back...i m sure even jon wasnt sure how it was gonna turn out...but looked like he found himself again...have you ever seen him giving hi fives in the middle of the show??? even tico put out his drum stick to congratulate in the ending of saturday night,,,
the only other time i saw jon that genuiely happy and proud was giants 2001...we are back...we can do it...
i hope jon keeps improving and keeps writing songs and trying new things...these videos from last night made a lot of people happy for the band, they needed it and we needed it for sure.
ps. i always liked to watch live videos of the band, but the last years especially since richies departure i couldnt enjoy them. i still miss richie but i ll happilly watch again and again the last 2 south american shows...these crowds deserve a bj dvd for sure...

IKR! I miss the Richie from 6/7 years ago... the nowadays one has no place in Bon Jovi! I will always miss his presence there, but he's going in opposite directions the band is going.
Whatever, the show must go on.
Phil is rocking!!!

Same for me here, it was a real pain to see the vids of the earlier performances this year, and lets be honest... from 2013 too.
RiR and last night gave me joy to watch them perform again.
I'm so happy, so ****ing happy, I have no words.
So glad Jon's "found himself" again.

omg last time I saw him doing that was 7 years ago.
Wow... just. WOW!!

I said after the Always performance in Greenville that it may have been the last vintage Jon performance as a vocalist and I was right. Now my guess is that this was his last vintage performance as a frontman. As much as I loved seeing that, I cannot see how this can be sustainable. Those amazing SA crowds surely brought whatever was left of the Jon we love.


Speaking of chills, this gave me quite a few - 7:50 onwards - Jon being so full of pride again and the guys fist-bumping him, wow!
