One of my favorite songs of all time, though I am an obsessive Cohen fan so I am quite biased. However, Rufus Wainwright nails this song better than anyone.
I'm not a bon Jovi fan but I have to say the cover is okay. Well, the best covers are Jeff Bucley's and rufus wainwright's, but he's far better than some others. At least the voice is beautiful.
I prefer John Cale's. Buckley's is too perfect, and Rufus...well, sometimes I want to turn in my gaycard for being on his team (and his nationality). Happy birthday, John!
I so wish I could have been at this concert it would have been the best birthday present of that year. I could have been at a bon jovi concert on my 19th and I'm really gutted I didn't get to go
dont know which was better, when he sang this at o2 or twickenham on 27 june 08. how can i compare though, he is just awesome wherever and whatever he sings. im saving up for next tour already.
Well BikkyLover, I'll be honest, I'm not really a fan of Bon Jovi. However, I LOVE this version of the song. I think it is one of the best I've heard so far.
Just interested to know if anyone who is NOT already a diehard Bon Jovi fan thinks this the best version of this song? He's good but seems a bit emotionless to me.
How can you say he has no emotion, he brings emotion to all the songs he sings, you can hear it here too, I do agree that it's not the best version i have heard but it's live and bloody good.
Well, here's Jon singing for me ya...I wish I really knew ya...Boy, I wanna have ya...God, I wanna do ya...Jon, I even wanna blow ya...Jesus, I should behave ah...Hallelujah...I wanna do ya...Hallelujah...I only wanna dooooo ya...Mwah!
I love this song. His voice is the best. I checked out the other singers, of the same song and his is still the best. He just has an amazing voice on everything he sings.
Jon Bon Jovi has always been so consistent when it comes to great 'enunciation' of words in any songs. This is an important aspect in singing. He's just one of the best male singers around.
Much better than Jeff Buckley's all because of the 'enunciation' of the words of the song. Jon Bon Jovi has always been consistent with this aspect of singing. He sings with a lot of passion and has excellent 'showmanship'. He's one of the best male singers around.
hi ,you should get "lost highway" concert on dvd! its on like the bonus features,its called "stripped" and jon sings a few versions of other songs from the concert.its xlnt!!!i got it for xmas and the dvd is brill.
I was there that night with my best friend - we both LOVED this song and it was just another great performance that followed the rest of them that night. Have always loved Bon Jovi but seeing them live kicks ass
This sure is a great Cohen track, with so much emotion put it the lyrics and the melody. And the way I see it, Jon does it amazing justice. This is truly an incredible performance. Big congrats to Bon Jovi!
so many people have done this cohen song. they should all thank him 4 writing such a remarkable piece...everyone does their own take on it, but all sing it with passion & sincerety. it takes a genius of a song to inspire such emotions
Alguém sabe se há alguma chance de o BON JOVI vir ao Brasil na turnê de divulgação e/ou shows do "Lost Highway"??? Seria o máximo....!Já faz mto tempo que o grupo não aparece por aqui......
Fans of this song should hear the George Romano version on youtube. I've seen him do it live a few times and its worth checking out,plus he reminds me and my girlfriends of Jon .(That east coast Italian thing,trust me ladies)
this is my fav song even over a lot of bon jovi songs and i love them so much, when david bryan started playin this on keyboards oh i cried like a baby. how sad am i?
I was at this concert and it was AMAZING!!! This song gave me goosebumps, have never seen them play it before. Just shows they don't need big hair and big sounds to show just how damn talented they are! Best band (and concert) EVER!
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever anyway. To have it played by the best band ever makes it 10 times more special. Feel like being back @ O2 on 6/24. Thanks for adding
Even now watching this back I get tears in my eyes - thanks for getting it!! What an amazing performance and what an amazing night! Bring on Januray when they come back!
I was there with my 11 year old Jovi nut daughter and we both agreed we was stunned into silence when this was played , and Richie is still king of swing, his guitar playing sent shivers down my spine
what an absolutely amazing,powerful performance.Has anyone got any footage of the crazy guy who did a solo performance on the Jubilee line after the show.He had the whole carraige singing along,and a lot of you were recording...okay,I admit...the crazy guy was me.I just want to see what I look like drunk
Fantastic!
Bon Jovi is such a fantastic singer ^.^
