OMG, I'm dying here!

I saw this (obviously without paying too much attention) and thought, "Wow! That's kinda blunt, for bonjovi90!" I just now caught that you weren't replying to Rosa.

I need coffee!

We need a like button.

That stupid legend jacket, and those stupid commercials before the shows. It's embarrassing. And then you have the performance.

I'm so pissed because this was such an amazing live band. They were untouchable.

He should change the chorus to “These Days the notes are out of reach”.

Agreed, that was painful. I'm not sure he was in tune anywhere on this song.

That is horrible!

Not sure why the verses or timing are so off? I know the chorus steps up but the verses are walk through really. He is in such poor shape here.

You know what, guys? I've read all those several pages of your posts and now I literally feel guilty for having enjoyed my gig in Warsaw *being that massive Richie fan in the first place!*. I even posted a lengthy review but it seems no one is interested in that bc it was too positive maybe? I used to be so critical about the band and hated all those youtube vids but in person it was much better. The bootlegs still makes your ears hurt but it's a totally different experience live. Jon's lost his voice but still can provide shows that entertain thousands. Even if some fans left, the vast majority stayed in the venue. I have a vague feeling that maybe I need a few days/weeks break from this board bc I suddenly feel I don't belong here.

Eveline, I don’t know what that These Days had lol but it was special.
Sometimes this board is too negative, maybe they have also some trauma hihihih.

Hi !

I don’t think you should feel guilty. As I said, I feel happy for those who still enjoy the shows. I’ve been very critical with the band lately, yet I’ve given them credit when credit is due: I had a hell of a good time in RIR2017.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying the shows. As long as people around you are in the mood and singing along, you’re in for a nice time. However, it’s clear that the performances have been pretty bad this tour. But once again, it’s your money and you should be the one to decide what makes you happy or not.

Very well said and you should have enough self-confidence to still have had a good time even though others might be trashing videos from the show. You've admitted to having hated videos before your own show of concerts others probably had liked. I was in Munich and didn't enjoy it too much, others liked it. I'm happy for them, but doesn't change my opinion either.

Yes, Jon still has the frontman charisma and I think pretty much all reviews of users here who went to shows on this leg stated that, too. But here we got a video of a beautiful song that is "sung" with the wrong timing and the singer basically not hitting any notes. It's hard to be positive then.

For example, It's My Life in Munich. It was amazing fun because the audience was shouting it at the top of their lungs, me included. I had a great time during that song, but that doesn't change that it vocally was probably horrendous and a shout fest if I watch it on Youtube. You couldn't really notice it there because the fans were so loud, but that didn't make him sing on key in the stadium anyway.

I noticed that he was almost constantly checking the teleprompter too.

It's like he's focusing so much on his voice that he can't even remember the lyrics.

Sad times.
