This just goes to show that Jon's pre-tour voice is ALWAYS shit and Richie probably didn't even know what he was playing. Had they played this on this past European leg of the tour it would have sounded FANTASTIC.
as much as I love that song and the fact that they played some of the older songs again I'm happy this didn't make it onto the setlist. it just sounds awful in my opinion now...
Jon screwed up his voice unfortunately! He could do sth keep his voice healthy! Maybe smaller number of concerts! Although i love listening to him and generaly the band! Long live BON JOVI!!!
It is so great to hear them do this. Even if it is not as heavy as when it first came out I am just happy they are no longer ignoring my favorite Bon Jovi album! I really hope they play this in Jersey on July 9!
@3sgtenottm I am obsessed with that record. Earlier this year they started playing "Tokyo Road" and "Only Lonely" again when the tour first started along with three or four songs from the first album which they have rarely played but they dropped them quick. I heard reports that Jon can't really sing like that anymore and that the audience does not know the stuff like the true old school fans do.
All along Jon would say he didn't like the 7800 album,it's because he can't sing em anymore! I thought Tokyo Road sounded good and Only lonely live. He should sing with a deeper throatier 80's vocal on these tunes. This isn't American Idol . you don't have to sound just like the album!
@MrSophoney It isn't because of his voice that Jon & the band don't like to do the 7800 Farenheit album, it is because it was a very painful time for him & the others, so they don't like to go back there. Jon & Richie have said this many times. This is when Jon and Dorothea were broken up. Jon's voice was destroyed back then, when they were giving him steroid shots, to keep him singing, for 4 yrs straight of touring and exhaustion. Now he has a mature voice & won't do those extra high notes.
It's very painful for him to sing these songs because of the separation with Dorothea. Pls listen the songs of this album carefully! Jon sings only for this woman throughout his entire life & he sings perfect because of this!
@MakeAMemory2 No worries, its great too hear these old classics again. I'm seeing them in June at the 02 Arena London UK. So can't wait. Not long for you, looks a good show from what I've seen on youtube!! IlLove "The Circle" album.
this is awesome... i totally love it!

Very few rockers manage to sing like they did when they were younger, look at bruce dickinson. Shame really
