encore:
I had a feeling a shorter set might be on the cards after Adelaide the night before, but I didn't know what to expect at the first arena show of the Australian leg. It was a strange set, and I don't entirely agree with all of it, but I had a lot of fun and the band seemed to as well. Perth Arena is a little over a year old now and has proved a fantastic concert venue. And it was nice not to be able to predict the whole first hour! I was happy to get "The Radio Saved My Life Tonight", which is easily one of my favourites on the box set. "Always" was listed as an audible and would have received a great reception in the encore -- I'm sure the crowd would have sung most of it for Jon.
Here are my videos of "Radio" and "Thick as Thieves".

You are so lucky, I don't know if you remember, but when the album was out, I wrote on Twitter that Thick As Thieves was one of my favourites from WAN, and it was supposed to debut on Mexico but they just didn´t play it. I´m glad to see you writting on the blog Again ;)
ReplyDeleteI love Bon Jovi but was disappointed with Sydney stadium concert. His voice was awful and at times you wanted to block your ears. Its a great shame. Does Jon know how bad it is? The band members really showed the his voice problem in their pieces. It is no use covering it up for Jon and saying how great it was because it wasn't.
