Well this is bad.
No Richie is bad and it shows, the band does not sound the same. Nothing new here. Yes RS exited in a very poor fashion, especially for us fans and his bandmates - but besides this he IS crucial to the band's sound, writing and performances.
Everett is a useless addition, even distracting watching him bouncing like a toy in all directions.

Poisitive: Jon seems to get better, compared to the horrendous 2017 shows. I have a glimpse of hope for the HOF footage.

Do you want to risk having Bon Jovi 2013 - 2017 if richie comes back and leaves?
I don't really trust Richie that way.

I'll never understand people's problems with Everett. The dude is having fun up there and taking care of 90 percent of the backing vocals. He IS needed.

Actually yes.
Everett is kinda like Alec in terms of backing vocals isn't he?
He uses falsetto like Alec did.

People's problem about everett to me are like "Why isn't the stage half a meter longer."

Maybe people aren't used to him. After all, the band has never used a percussionist for a whole tour before.

Imagine if Bobby did the long second solo in Always.

Jon's definitely regaining his confidence both as a performer and as a singer. He even went for the "Na na na na's" at the end of the song! :D That said, there's still a long, long way to go before I can honestly enjoy LISTENING to him (watching is already enjoyable) again...

Anyone know the audibles? I seen 5 on the setlist but blanked out. Presuming the added one was I Love This Town.

There's 4. One cross out is the word Audibles.
