I was gonna buy some Bon Jovi tickets??? They are around 90.00. Has anyone seen him? I wanted to know if he's worth that?

I saw him for free on the Today Show a couple of weeks ago. That's about the only way I'd see him.

My wife love Bon Jovi,they have always been her band since the 80's.I bought 2 tix for her and me to go see them.
The show was well chorographed sound was good but after 2 1/2 hours of music and 2 encores they left the stage without playing Runaway. So I promised myself I will never go again.

If you like their music, it's definately worth it. My fiancee is a big fan, and rates that as one of her favorite concerts, and they certainly put on a good show. They throw in the occasional unexpected cover song (often '50s & '60s party tunes) and do a good job of interacting with the audience. I'd much rather see Bon Jovi than someone like Clapton who I'd rather listen to (I've never seen a more bored entertainer on stage than E.C.).

Yes they are worth it if you have good seats. Saw them crap--I dont know back in maybe 86 or 88 whenever the Slippery When Wet tour was---Damn good show.

The new, adult stylings to the old songs are great. I would certainly go see them. Plus if you watched them with Sugarland on CMT, the spark is stil there.

There's lots of great music out there these days. And, speaking just for myself, I wouldn't exactly cite Bon Jovi as how great music was back when Slippery When Wet was popular.

Come on Jah---you wouldnt take back all the great music from the mid 80s back over half the crap that is put out today???

Come on back in the 80s You had bands selling out stadiums 7 nights in a row in each city.

There's plenty of great bands out these days but if you're going just by what you see on MTV and VH1 and what receives commerial airplay then you're only getting part of the picture. That was true of the 80s as well.

I guess that might be something to take into consideration if it was important. It doesn't matter to me how many nights any given artist can sell out a stadium, I'm more interested in the music. In fact, these days a stadium is going to be one of the last places you'd find me, especially when it comes to newer bands. I'm much more likely to be found in smaller venues checking out good groups.

You don't think back in the 80s The Police were any good, Genesis (both carnations), VAN HALEN (not Van Hagar) were any good.

Yes I agree with you, most of the better bands are playin smaller Venues-- like the Dropkick Murphys. But still, If I woulda had the time, I would have LOVED to seen Bon Jovi again this past weekend.

I'm not sure why you're you singling out those bands when I didn't mention any of them. I liked plenty of stuff that was commercially successful back in the 80s but not all of it. There was also just as much crap clogging the airwaves back then too, mostly what you saw on MTV.

Speaking just for myself, "lite metal" or "hair bands" were a big part of what I didn't like about music in the 80s so I can't say I share the same sentiment but to each their own.

I saw Bon Jovi at the 2002 Olympics. They were alright, better then Kiss and the Dixie Chicks. I'm not paying $90.00 a ticket to see them though.
