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. 😊

Fresh from their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (and apparently sipping themed cocktails at the after-party), Bon Jovi resumed the tour in Orlando.

Here's most of "Make a Memory":

"You Give Love a Bad Name"... and Jon working the catwalk with some nice mic stand twirls:

"Lay Your Hands on Me":

"Always":

"These Days":

"Someday I'll Be Saturday Night" (including a reflective speech for Jon mid-song):

If you'd like to share more videos from this show, feel free to link to them in the comments.🙂

Jon's voice has been the subject of plenty of discussion in fan circles over the last few years (for good reason), but there have been signs during the South American leg that it's improving. It's nice to see a bit of rock star swagger in these videos too. 😉

Were you in São Paulo?

There's been no official word on any other tour dates, but Phil X tweeted that Europe is on the cards for 2018:

Is it true that you're coming to Europe on May next year? We're desperate to have you guys here!

— maría tt trash (@jonsmanager) September 22, 2017

i'm not sure it'll be May but it will be next year. https://t.co/R7riqJXUFR

— Phil X (@TheRealPhilX) September 22, 2017

Meanwhile, the Gold Coast Bulletin is reporting that an Australian tour is set for late 2018:

BON Jovi are set to answer Gold Coast music fans’ prayers next year when they bring their 2018 Australian tour to Metricon Stadium.

Leading promoter Paul Dainty, president and CEO of TEG Dainty, said he had been working to deliver local music fans a stadium show at the home of the Gold Coast Suns AFL team.

“When Bon Jovi tours next year, I’ll bring them to Metricon,” he said.

“We had something for February next year but we couldn’t get it in there with the Commonwealth Games but we’ve got Bon Jovi coming in 2018/2019.”

Bon Jovi in Greenville 8/2/17

Bon Jovi kicked off their This House Is Not For Sale Tour in Greenville, South Carolina. In case you missed the promo shows, the new look touring lineup is as follows:

• Jon Bon Jovi on lead vocals (obviously)
• David Bryan on keyboards
• Tico Torres on drums
• Hugh McDonald on bass (finally "official" after more than two decades)
• Phil X on guitar (also elevated to "official" member) 
• John Shanks on guitar (a somewhat controversial move after a decade of mixed feelings from fans about his producing skills)
• Everett Bradley on percussion

Tour photographer David Bergman shot this video as the band was heading to South Carolina. (It was also Dave Bryan's birthday).

Here's what was played at the concert:

Set list: Greenville, SC, USA - Bon Secours Wellness Arena - 8 February 2017

1. This House is Not for Sale
2. Knockout
3. You Give Love a Bad Name
4. Born To Be My Baby
5. We Weren't Born To Follow

16. Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
17. Blood on Blood
18. Lay Your Hands on Me
19. Have a Nice Day
20. Bad Medicine
21. Keep the Faith
    Encore:
22. Always
23. Wanted Dead or Alive
24. Livin' on a Prayer

A few comments on the set list:

• I love This House Is Not For Sale (the album) so I hope they keep playing lots of tracks from it. But it'd be better to spread them throughout the set instead of putting them in blocks (or as casual fans might call them, "bathroom/drinks breaks").
• Speaking of new tracks, play "Living with the Ghost"!
• I was hoping "We Weren't Born to Follow" would be dropped by now. And surely putting it next to "Born to be My Baby" only highlights the fact that they have the same chorus. "Love's the Only Rule" would be a better song to play from The Circle.
• Why is "Because We Can" still being played? That singalong didn't work on the Because We Can Tour and it sure isn't going to work now.

Some people in attendance live streamed part or all of the show online, but I was at work and couldn't watch. There don't seem to be any videos on YouTube yet, but you can watch/listen to this Periscope stream (from "Roller Coaster" to part of "Have a Nice Day"). I'll update this post with a selection of videos if they pop up. Apparently Jon acknowledged his vocal troubles during the encore, saying he'd been working hard on it and his goal was to sing "Always" on the first night of the tour.

Were you at this show? Or are you going to any of the other dates that have been announced of this tour?

UPDATE 11/2/17: I've been surprised by the lack of quality videos from this show, but some soundboard recordings (audio only) have been uploaded on YouTube.

"Always" -- I think Jon sounds decent in parts... not anywhere near his best obviously, and not at Lost Highway Tour level... but better than he's sounded in the last three or four years. I hope he's got a vocal coach because I don't believe it's too late to get his voice back, but it'll take time and work.

"Lay Your Hands on Me" -- This made a return after not been performed at all on the Because We Can or Burning Bridges Tours, and I'm glad it did.

Dolly Parton covers Lay Your Hands on Me

Dolly Parton's gospel version of Bon Jovi's "Lay Your Hands on Me" appears on her 2014 album Blue Smoke. Here's a live performance of it from her recent Australian tour.

Dolly Parton - Lay Your Hands On Me- Perth Arena - February 27th 2014


What do you think of it?

Videos from Munich

Before Bon Jovi hits the stage in Norway, I want to post some videos from their June 12 show in Munich, Germany. The first 10 songs of the concert were streamed live so if you want to watch or rewatch that webcast you'll find it at this link.

Lay Your Hands on Me

Lay Your Hands was kind of Richie's song before he went to rehab, but I prefer Jon's voice on this one (I want Richie singing Homebound Train or something with a little more blues). Great to see the Sambora "sex faces" in action again though. ;)

I'll Be There For You

Jon and Richie sharing the circle platform again, after Jon unofficially dedicated this song to Richie during last month's shows. Additional lyrics from 5:55 (Corrections welcome):

And I'll be there for you
If you want me
I'll... be there... for you
If you need me
C'mon ask me
Oh, I'll be there for you
Just call my name
In the pouring rain
In the morning I'll come home
Just to be in your arms again
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah, I'll be there for you

Bells of Freedom (acoustic)

They pulled this out at the previous show in Dresden, but who knows if/when they'll play it again?

Always

It's always a joy to see this in the set. I still remember when it made its long awaited return in Des Moines on the Lost Highway Tour. Since then, it's probably been played often enough to no longer be considered a true rarity... but as their biggest hit ever, Always should be a staple song anyway.

Dry County

I've heard some fans refer to sets with Dry County, Always, Bed of Roses, These Days, etc as complete vanilla because they're no longer rare. I find that interesting. I mean, I love set list variation too, but that doesn't mean I want Bon Jovi to stop playing great songs. Anyway, I have a lot of favourite songs and it depends on my mood but Dry County is what I keep going back to if I'm forced to pick just one.

Visit Hath's Circle Tour Blog for more video links.

Phil X solo guitar spin

This video of Phil X's Lay Your Hands on Me solo from Bon Jovi's Atlanta show has been doing the rounds a bit so I figured I may as well post it. He spins his guitar around his body much like Bruce Springsteen which is pretty cool.

Bon Jovi videos from Canada

So... A few days ago, Bon Jovi visited Phil X's country of birth (Canada) for the first proper Bon Jovi shows since Richie Sambora checked into rehab.

Here is a selection of videos from Montreal (May 4, 2011)...

Dry County

Some people have said Dry County is the one song that Bon Jovi should not have done without Richie... or that Phil X "murdered" the solo or words to that effect. It does sound noticeably different, but this is my favourite song and I don't feel that the guitar ruined it, but that's my personal view.

In These Arms

Jon hands the lead vocals to David Bryan for the second verse. I love Dave's voice, so it's always a little thrill for me when he gets his moments in the spotlight.

Diamond Ring / Bed of Roses

The video focuses on Jon out on the platform. No Richie harmonies on Diamond Ring obviously, while Bobby Bandiera took lead guitar for Bed of Roses.

And a couple from Ottawa (May 3, 2011)...

Lay Your Hands on Me

To be honest, I prefer Jon singing Lay Your Hands on Me. (But I LOVE Richie singing Homebound Train.) Jon sings an extra part in the middle here before the instrumental break, so for those wondering about the lyrics, this is what I heard:

I need you
I want you
Lay your hands on me
Wrap your lovin' arms around my back
Hold me closer
Tell me everything'll be alright

I'll Be There For You

Jon out on the platform without his right hand man. He adds an extra part here, too, during the "whoa oh ohs". It's similar to the ad libs on Always at Wembley Stadium in 1995 on the Live From London DVD:

I'll be there for you
Through the wind
Through the storm
Through the driving rain
Through that hard walk home
Right beside you now
Yeah, I've got you now
I'll be there
You want me, I'll be there
I'll be right beside you
Carryin' the weight of the world on your shoulders
Come on

Corrections for those ad libs are welcome.

Videos: Bon Jovi at Jazz Fest ft Phil X!

Phil X -- guitarist for The Drills and highly sought-after session musician -- filled in for Richie Sambora for the first time in New Orleans on April 30, 2011. It was strange to watch but he did a good job. Unfortunately, some Bon Jovi fans have been taking their anger out on Phil on his Facebook page. All I can say to that is that Phil isn't the one who needed to check into rehab, nor is he the one who made the decision to continue the tour.

Bobby Bandiera played the solos for You Give Love a Bad Name, Lost Highway (which was minus the instrumental section they added on The Circle Tour), The More Things Change, and Have a Nice Day. Also, serpephone filmed most of the show and deserves our gratitude for sharing it on YouTube. Here is a selection of videos.

It's My Life

Phil's first chance to show off his talkbox skills in front of the Jovi faithful. Jon prefaces this with: "So what's been goin' on in your life, anything exciting? Any piece of press out there?" At least I think that's what he said. Someone correct me if I misheard the Jerseymumble. ;)

Bad Medicine / Oh Pretty Woman

All fun and games with Jon and Bobby practically flirting... apart from the bit where Tico Torres makes a mistake and Jon flies off the handle, kicking an amp (about 6:45 into the video). Most of us have seen Jon have a bit of a sulk and give someone the stink-eye when something doesn't quite go right, but I think this reaction had a little extra stress behind it.

Lay Your Hands on Me

Jon on lead vocals again. David Bryan, Bobby and Phil X share out the instrumental that was added at the end of February.

Have a Nice Day

Bobby's best solo of the day.

Keep the Faith

Ripping solo from Phil X!

Wanted Dead or Alive

By no means is this terrible, but if I had to pick one song where the Sambora touch is missed the most, it'd probably be Wanted.

Livin' on a Prayer

"I send this out to our brother Richie."

Whether the band should have continued to tour without Richie is still a polarising issue, but given the decision has been made to keep playing, I'm relieved they got such a capable guitarist. We could certainly be doing a lot worse than Phil X...

Amazing Lay Your Hands on Me + Working Man audio troubles

This is "Lay Your Hands on Me" from Bon Jovi's Boston show (March 1, 2011).

Jon starts off the song, before handing over to Richie Sambora. During the song, he and David Bryan add a cool little instrumental/jam session. I'm a fan of letting the Jon-less song showcase the talents of the band, and it breathes new life into the song. I think they performed it like this in Washington, DC too; hopefully it's a regular thing now.

Another thing that happened in Boston was the speakers blowing out during "Work for the Working Man". It takes Jon half the song to realise it, but doesn't seem to ruin his mood. Here are a couple of videos.

This one depicts the actual moment the sound cuts off:


And here is the moment of realisation, and ensuing reaction:

More Sydney 2nd night videos

Here are some more videos from Bon Jovi's second Sydney show (December 18, 2010).

Last Man Standing - I'm not 100% sold on this as an opener, but I do like the song so I'm glad they brought it back on this tour.


Just Older + I'd Die For You - I've always wondered why "Just Older" wasn't a single. It's nice to get a Slippery When Wet album track too.


Homebound Train - This is a perfect Richie Sambora song, both vocally and... guitarily (yes, I just coined a word). Suits him much better than "Lay Your Hands on Me".


Lay Your Hands on Me - Jon on lead vocals, the way it was supposed to be. ;)


Wanted Dead or Alive - I don't showcase "Wanted" on the blog too often, since it's played at every show anyway, but this was basically a duet between the crowd and Richie. A few people have mentioned that David Bryan looks annoyed about Richie getting to sing the second verse. I don't think I'd read too much into his expression though.


In These Arms - If there was one "major" criticism about the three-night stand in Sydney, it would be that neither of the big ballads "Always" and "Bed of Roses" were played. They did at least get "In These Arms" though.

Videos from London: Santa Fe, Blood Money, I Got the Girl, The Last Night + more!

Some videos from Bon Jovi's concerts at London's O2 arena.

I GOT THE GIRL (Show #10: June 23, 2010) - Jon reflects on how much Stephanie Rose has grown up since he wrote this song. Thanks to Maayan for sending me the link.

Other videos from the 10th show are at this link.


The following videos are from Show #11: June 25, 2010.

BLOOD MONEY


THE LAST NIGHT - When Bon Jovi played in Perth not long after Heath Ledger's death, Jon wore a Joker shirt and played this song. Not sure if it's a coincidence or not but this was the one year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death.


LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME - First time this tour that "Lay Your Hands" has been done with Jon on lead vocals.


SANTA FE (Show #11: June 25, 2010) - First time ever! A sombre acoustic rendition on the circle.


BAD MEDICINE/OLD TIME ROCK & ROLL - Featuring Kid Rock. Filmed from the pit. David "Tony boy" Bryan gets to start the jukebox song.

Videos from Charlotte

Some videos from Bon Jovi's April 22 concert in Charlotte.

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU - I was watching this with the silliest lovestruck grin on my face... Jon's voice might be the strongest it's been all tour here. So, what do you say, boys... time to try some tracks from the first two albums again? ;)


DIAMOND RING - There's always something magical about Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, one mic stand and this song.


BAD CASE OF LOVING YOU (DOCTOR, DOCTOR) / BAD MEDICINE reprisal


HALLELUJAH - I really enjoyed David Bryan's keys from about 3:45 to 4:02. I don't think this song needs to be played every night, but I do really like seeing Bon Jovi covering it.


LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME - I miss "Homebound Train" but Richie does rock on this too.


SUPERMAN TONIGHT - I figured I'd include this one since I think we're all supposed to be voting for it on VH1. :P


Bon Jovi's next show is May 19 in Pennsylvania.

Videos from Tulsa

Ready for some vids from Bon Jovi's first Tulsa gig in over two decades?

OPEN ALL NIGHT - A bit of a so-called "chick song" so it's sweet to hear an enthusiastic male voice towards the end of the video. ;) If memory serves me (and I'm sure the Jovi blogosphere will correct me if I'm wrong), this is the first Bounce song of the Circle tour and only the second time this song has been performed live...


LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME - Kind of shaky and the picture's not clear but our boy Richie Sambora is sounding pretty good and that's the most important thing.


BAD MEDICINE / ROADHOUSE BLUES

Videos from Philadelphia

Here are some awesome videos from Bon Jovi's March 24 show in Philadelphia.

LOVE FOR SALE


KEEP THE FAITH


ONLY LONELY


And from the previous night, March 23, same city and venue...

LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME - Richie Sambora vocals. I do prefer him doing "Homebound Train" but the King of Swing still rocks the church here.

Lay Your Hands on Me in Montreal

Bon Jovi played an awesome set for their March 20 show in Montreal. Mr Bluesman himself, Richie Sambora lent his voice to the first (hopefully not only) "Lay Your Hands on Me" of the Circle Tour. Here are a couple of early video of it.


This one's closer but obviously filmed by a David Bryan fan because Richie is barely in the video.
