Selected videos from Tel Aviv

"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":

Bon Jovi Tel Aviv set list 3/10/15

Bon Jovi's last stop on the tour -- their first concert in Israel -- was not without pre-show controversy. Pink Floyd founding member Roger Waters -- who has been campaigning for musicians to boycott Israel -- wrote this open letter accusing Jon, David Bryan, and Tico Torres of supporting crimes committed by the Israeli Government by going ahead with the concert.

Would've been nice to get some surprises for the last show after all that, but anyway, here's what was played.

Palestinian call to boycott Israel

Bon Jovi is set to perform in Israel for the first time in 2011, but given the complexities of the ongoing conflict in the region, it's probably no surprise that not everyone is thrilled with this idea. The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel has published this open letter in the Palestine Chronicle, urging Bon Jovi to cancel their planned Israel concert on the basis that performing there would be an endorsement of human rights abuses and apartheid:
It is with great disappointment that the undersigned organizations learned of your scheduled performance in Israel set for 2011 as part of your 'Circle Tour'. Given that Israel is involved in grave violations of international law and human rights, particularly as indicated in the UN Goldstone Report, we urge you to cancel this gig until the time comes when Israel is in compliance with its obligations under international law and fully respects Palestinian rights.

We were particularly surprised by news of your planned performance given your deep involvement in affordable housing and homelessness issues. As part of its ongoing dispossession of the Palestinian people, Israel continues to demolish Palestinian homes and entire villages, including the Bedouin village of Al-Araqib, which was destroyed seven times this year. Indeed, the entire modern history of the Palestinian people is based on dispossession and homelessness as more than 750,000 people were made refugees to enable the creation of the state of Israel, then kept in permanent refugee status despite the requirements in international law that they be allowed to return to their homes. In your commitment to effect change you have understood that your position as a respected and prominent musician can weigh on politics and contribute to advancing freedom, justice and human rights. It is in this spirit that we address you.
