"Always" - Well, it sounded a lot better in London last month. "Always" wasn't a planned inclusion in the Tel Aviv set, and the crowd singing helps mask some of the vocal issues but not all:

"Bed of Roses":

Selected videos from Bucharest

"I'd Die For You" - This is pretty rough, but I can't not post the video given it's the closest thing to a rarity in this set despite being played at the previous show in Klagenfurt:

"Twist and Shout" - Jon apologised to the crowd for not being quite up to speed before the final song:

Bon Jovi in Klagenfurt 19/07/19

Klagenfurt, Austria - Wörthersee Stadion - July 19, 2019 set list

  1. This House Is Not For Sale
  2. Raise Your Hands
  3. You Give Love a Bad Name

  19. Bad Medicine

    Encore:

I realised "Knockout" was played for the first time this year, but I still think the song sucks (despite continuing to enjoy most of the album) so I don't care. 😜

Selected videos from Klagenfurt

"I'd Die For You" - Good to see something different. This was a belated performance for someone who's been requesting the song at previous shows:

"Always" - There were a couple of false starts after David Bryan made some uncharacteristic mistakes at the beginning:

"Bed of Roses" featuring two dance partners:

    Encore:
  20. These Days
  21. Livin' on a Prayer

Selected videos from Vienna

"Lay Your Hands on Me" - Front man Jon is in full flight, and the video includes some close-up shots as he goes into the crowd. Plus, it's a song where the band and audience can pick up a lot of the slack with the choruses:

"These Days" - I will never not want the band to play this song but I sort of had to brace myself before listening to this:

"Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars" - An overplayed song, but it's kinda fun to watch:


Feel free to share your thoughts and any other videos. 😊

Extras

Jon Foreman, lead singer and guitarist of support act Switchfoot, tweeted this pic of the crowd in Vienna:
And Phil X posted this backstage photo of himself with fellow guitar players Scotti Hill and Drew Shirley from Skid Row and Switchfoot, respectively:

Feel free to share your thoughts, other videos, etc. 😊

Extras

Phil X posted a picture of himself with Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen ahead of the Munich show. I usually only ever see images of Collen on stage with his shirt off so I probably wouldn't have recognised him had X not specified who it was. 🤣

Everett Bradley also posted a picture of himself and Tico Torres with Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen.

Here's vocal coach Mary Jo DuPrey's post from the Bon Jovi/Def Leppard dinner in Munich.


A post shared by Mary Jo Agresta DuPrey (@maryjoagrestaduprey) on

And finally, Phil responded to a fan request to demonstrate how he played the "Born Again Tomorrow" solo. Wouldn't mind the band playing this, since this is supposed to still be the This House Is Not For Sale Tour. 😉
