There’s a BJ v PJ debate? Where?
You do know Ten sold more than Bon Jovi’s debut and 7800 x 100 when first released.
Pearl Jam we’re huge on release of Alive, Jeremy, even Flow and Black.
Hardly anyone knew about the first 2 jovi albums until SWW came out.

How come there are barely any videos from the shows?

I really dont see a point in comparing BJ with bands from other genre,love them or not Bj is one of the most successful band in history of rock judging by sold albums,played concerts,grossing tours etc. PJ had first three albums sold great,first one the most and that is when ends everything,they mostly play arenas. They are still out there because they are active and key members are there besides drum player

PJ is one of those bands that comes up as examples of who Bon Jovi should model their setlists after time and time again. It's two VERY different audiences.

Yes I DO know all that. They're a big band but much different kind of hits, they are not AOR which is directly what Bon Jovi's current fanbase falls under.

11 of the songs on that setlist were top 10 hits.

Pear Jam has a following like the Dead. Their fans go to multiple shows because every setlist is unprectable. And their top ticket price is $112.

They're a damn good band. There's a reason why they got inducted into the RRHOF the first year they were eligible..

I have seen Pearl Jam once, Oslo 2014. Amazing show. And they did 14 songs in the encore. It's on my top 3 list of shows i seen. I Wish Bon Jovi do something like this. But the setlist they are playing this year is amazing, but they need to change it more often.

Yup and Bon Jovi has NEVER one of those bands (stateside) you would go see because who knows what they'll play! Bon Jovi's audience is based on the hits and that's just how it always is.
