I guess they only have it for Prayer though because he had to come out to try and sing Wanted?

That finally occurred to me also. That it was there to be used. I just wished he wouldn't have used it! Let the rest of the band sing it, let the crowd sing it, anything else except what he did! Oh course, this makes it even worse to me because it wasn't just something that happened there had to have been a plan to use it.

Didn't they get through Prayer in 2017 or '18 when Jon's vocals had blown out as well? That show where the guy from the crowd sang Born To Be My Baby? Gotta look up how it was done back then.

I didn't know that had happened.

Bon Jovi- Born To Be My Baby Jon Brings Guy On...

Also what is it about Pittsburgh? Years and years ago there was a show in Pittsburgh in which Richie and Jon were both sick. I can't remember the year so I can't find any of it on YouTube.

David sang parts of Prayer there.

Do you reckon they only had a backup plan / track for LOAP, since it's the big hit they CANNOT skip? Or do these kinds of tracks exist for, say, IML, Bad Name and what not as well?

I have no idea. I'm one fan that doesn't think they have to sing LOAP.

Did anyone else see this: https://preview.houstonchronicle.com...-jovi-17130356 Apparently it didn't help.

Such a good question. Since the other ones are typically earlier in the set I'd think there's less of a risk and none of them have the chance of him blowing out his voice early.

Considering Prayer is the only one to consistently have pre-record vocals since almost day I, I guess it's always been the "uh oh" song.

Seriously almost since day one? Why? I really wish I had a little bit of your knowledge of the band! Of course, that's what I'm getting here now.

They had the full album chorus blast over the PA system on the Slippery When Wet tour when Jon's voice went to hell.
And stuff like the long "Livin' on a prayyeeeeer..." before the solo was also a pre-recorded track on the New Jersey tour. There is a video from Santiago 1990 where they didn't trigger the backing track at that point and you see Jon give the "look of death" to the sound mixer

What was the show where Tico accidentally did one too many drum beats before the key change and the whole track went off course?
