Bon Jovi Los Angeles set list 11/10/13

It seems like a long time ago but the last time Bon Jovi played in Los Angeles (in April -- six months ago) there had been a bit of speculation that Richie Sambora, who'd only left the tour at the start of that month, might make a return in his home city. No such whispers this time around, with Phil X still on guitar and Richie on a promotional tour with Nikki Lund for their clothing line. I think a lot of fans lost interest in the drama one way or another a while ago... but who knew back in April how this saga would have panned out?

Anyway, were you at this show?

Richie Sambora - Los Angeles set list 13/11/12

It was a bittersweet event when the only North American show Richie Sambora didn't cancel went ahead, with all profits being donated to the Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Fund. Fan favourite Seven Years Gone FINALLY made an appearance and a snippet of Rosie was reportedly played before the Beatles medley.
