Jon Bon Jovi performs Blind Love & Fingerprints; talks about 2016 album

At the last fan club show of 2015 -- in Dallas, Texas -- Jon Bon Jovi debuted Blind Love and Fingerprints from Burning Bridges. Check out the videos.

Blind Love


Fingerprints


And since I'm already here, here are a few other videos from the gig, courtesy of Serpephone.

Destination Anywhere - The album of the same name is probably my favourite solo project of anyone from Bon Jovi.


Never Say Goodbye - Jon started this twice after a funny mixup with the lyrics.


With These Two Hands - A bonus track from What About Now that's arguably better than half the actual album.


You Give Love a Bad Name - This is similar to the version Bon Jovi did for the This Left Feels Right DVD and on MTV Unplugged, which is not to everyone's liking, but it's something a little different.


Jon also said the new album, This House Is Not for Sale, will be out in the first half of 2016. Here's part of the Q&A from this show.

Never Say Goodbye

Bon Jovi in Berlin: I'm With You + Never Say Goodbye

A What About Now fan favourite and Slippery When Wet classic were played during Bon Jovi's June 18, 2013 concert in Berlin. Would have liked "Never Say Goodbye" in full though. :(

I'm With You


Never Say Goodbye

Garageland, Wild is the Wind, Never Say Goodbye from Belgium

Now that Bon Jovi's Circle/Greatest Hits/Open Air Tour is done and dusted, it's time to catch up on those last few video posts. ;) Starting with Belgium.

By all reports, Bruges (July 24, 2011) was a funny old show but the band did play some cool stuff. Here's a sample.

Garageland

What I love about this video is that each band member gets some air time. Wish this song had been on Crush.

Wild is the Wind

Um, Tico... what was that (at about 2:14)? :P

Never Say Goodbye

The forgotten Slippery When Wet single, but it's always appreciated when it pops up.

More videos over at Hath's Circle Tour Blog. And more to be posted here at Blame It On The Love, too.

Videos from Dublin 2

As promised... videos from Bon Jovi's second night in Dublin (June 30, 2011). It's probably fairly obvious from a diehard's perspective why I've picked the songs I've picked to showcase, so I'll let the videos speak for themselves. Your comments, of course, are always welcome.

(My video post for the first Dublin show is here.)

Bounce


Happy Now


Hey God


Damned


Never Say Goodbye


Love for Sale


Bad Medicine medley (partial): Roadhouse Blues and Vertigo


More killer videos at Hath's Circle Tour Blog. Not long now 'til Istanbul!

Videos: Unplugged gems in Sydney

Part two of the bumper Sydney videos showcase features songs from the acoustic section of the shows.

Make a Memory (Night #1: December 17, 2010)


Living in Sin / Chapel of Love (Night #2: December 18, 2010) - My favourite New Jersey song, even sans screams. But I'd like to see them use "Diamond Ring" for the outtro. I first suggested this back in 2008 and it's never happened, but you never know, one day Jon might read my pleas and give a damn. :P


Never Say Goodbye (Night #2: December 18, 2010)


Hallelujah (Night #3: December 19, 2010) - An special moment for Sydney in the summer rain.


What Do You Got (partial) + Squeeze Box (Night #3: December 19, 2010)


Part one is at this link, with plenty more videos to come. Remember, you can also check out Hath's Circle Tour blog to stay up to date with vids.

Videos from London June 10-11 + June 8 review

LET IT ROCK - As Joe Biden might say, this is a big f***ing deal. Bon Jovi played "Let It Rock" at The O2 last night (June 11, 2010). It was obviously the song's tour debut, and I didn't think it had been performed at all in the past 10 years... but I've since been told that "Let It Rock" was last played in Osaka, Japan on January 8, 1991. A very big f***ing deal, then.

Here's a video of the first couple of minutes...


Here's a lower quality video of the full song...


And let's not forget the awesome-ness of the night before (June 10, 2010)...

HEY GOD - Now that's rock! :)


I'D DIE FOR YOU


NEVER SAY GOODBYE


LIVING IN SIN


And because I can, some more videos from June 11.
OH, PRETTY WOMAN


OPEN ALL NIGHT (partial)


Still waiting for "Radio Saved My Life Tonight".

Finally, here's a fan review of the second night at The O2 by Roger Allen from Fanzeyreview:

Bon Jovi are back to their spiritual home of London for a virtual month residency at the O2 Arena. This is all part of The Circle Tour in support of the same name titled cd that hit the stores last year. The band has come a long way since I first saw them in London in 1988/89 for the New Jersey tours.

Check out the review and his website at this link.

More Meadowlands videos

Some more videos from Bon Jovi's Meadowlands shows so far.

DRY COUNTY (May 26, 2010) - Here's another, much closer video of "Dry County" from the first night.


NEVER SAY GOODBYE (May 27, 2010) - Jon forgets the lyrics, but I'm not sure which was funnier: the lyric flub or Richie's amused glances at Jon.


ALWAYS (May 27) - I never, ever get sick of Bon Jovi playing "Always".


HAVE A NICE DAY (May 26) - I don't know about anyone else but this is definitely my favourite of the so-called "It's My Life" lead singles. I love the screens here too.


RUNAWAY (May 26) - This is the performance where the sound infamously died.


LOVE'S THE ONLY RULE (May 26) - Love the screens here too, and this song is still epic despite Jon not being able to go into the crowd like he did in the arenas.

Never Say Goodbye in Uncasville

Jon Bon Jovi. Richie Sambora. On the circle. Acoustic guitars. Singing "Never Say Goodbye" at Bon Jovi's March 26 Uncasville show. Magic.



And this time, Jon didn't leave the "Remember when we lost the keys and you lost more than that in my backseat" line out!

Another Never Say Goodbye video from Omaha

I posted a close-up partial video of "Never Say Goodbye"'s tour debut last night. This one's from further away but has the full song. What can I say... Jon Bon Jovi + Richie Sambora + acoustic guitars = magic.

Yeah, I miss the "Remember when we lost the keys and you lost more than that in my backseat" line too. :P

Full Omaha set list here.

Never Say Goodbye clip from Omaha

A partial video of "Never Say Goodbye" from Omaha, which was apparently an audible too. Well colour me impressed, Mr Bon Jovi.

Please, sir, I want some more.


The full Omaha set list is here.
