Bon Jovi - Runaway (Tokyo, Shibuya - 1985)

[emali111]

oh jon, the black mic stand doesn't suit you...

[BenKennedyOfficial]

david Byran: unsung hero of Bon jovi

[93mili]

hhahahah god!!!! this is NOT fucking playback...its insane!!! its BON JOVI you idiots.. ¬¬

[mickyblue23]

Errr not playback. This version is actually on a live CD from them, released in 2001. It wouldn't be a very good live CD if the performance was playback now, would it?

[MJ23ilY]

4:32 RANGE.

[jinqs84]

i love bon jovi since i was in 5th grade.But I gotta say that this was a playback especially @ 4: 55.Come on guys. He doesn't even hold the mic near his mouth at the moment

[mrbatdance]

@jinqs84 thats because Richie was backing him...this aint no playback.

[Arthie096]

that must be justin bieber's fans that said it was a playback ..

[4evermassa]

what stupid fool sad this is a playback?

[Anna806956]

Bon Jovi ist eine der wenigen Bands, die wirklich live singen. -Das machen nämlich leider nicht viele......

[miracle12735]

4 personas estan todas idiotas = que un profesor de sociedad y valores que se me hace k son sus hijos los 4 q pusieron "no me gusta"

[Andryprayer]

Scream at the end: AMAZING !

[xCoRrUpTox]

4 people like listen justin bieber . . .

[matheusatallah]

WHAT MUST BE SOMEONE comment below - the sound should be another night, another concert. to realize the voices sung live. (Note the keyboard at first, has no way of playing a playback after him, it would be difficult.)

[funkadelicchille]

ok this is how it is , the people who laid down the audio track a long time ago for this video replaced it with the audio from the second night that they played at the Shibuya Public Hall . The video is from the third and the audio is from the second therefor it looks like it is playback , but they played all three shows live. Back then this was a very common way to make up for a bad recording, where maybe some instrument had been left out .

[r8a8f8a69]

the voice in 4:55 is from the keybord player... sorry i suck at english

[ballefjongmanne]

Kick ass Richie. Best runaway solo. I think this is the one from the "one wild night live" album

[kelzclive]

This is all live!!!!! Not many bands can have this kinda sound live, when you are really good and have a great live audio engineer, the sound is unbeaten.

[jrocksairen]

my god haven't u guys heard the original one? this is NOT a playback! ok! JON is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Klonispanagiotis]

@jrocksairen It is playback and jon's voice is recorded from another show!

[jrocksairen]

@Klonispanagiotis whatever I think @funkadelicchille best explained it..see comment below..I watched Jon proudly saying he doesn't do playback..he wants his audience hear him for real hmp

[kerunone1]

its not playbeck

[GX5495]

Unfortunately this is playback but it's alway great the energy they put int.

[ledford1100]

3 ppl are runaways

[coiuqui]

grandioso, mas.. sí es play back no jodan.... sin embargo eso no le quita a Bon, ya que él es y será por siempre un gran cantante...!!!

[dextervu]

This is not playback you idiots!! That phenomenom is called: BON JOVI!!!

[Mirifa17]

What?! Are you serious?? Off course this is not a playback!! I've been in their concerts and I can say that he doesn't playback!! His voice is totally real!! What about in other concerts when he improvise in this song and he reach the same tone??! And this was their beginings he had his voice in perfect state by this time...

[suzettemarian]

I'm so sad that it's playback... :(

I still love them though!

[RUPA3322]

@suzettemarian ITS NO PLAZBACK

[RUPA3322]

@suzettemarian ITS NO PLAYBACK

[MetalThrashingMad87]

@suzettemarian Only their tv appearances in the 80's are playback. But then again tv appearances are always playback :P

[jovigirl7822]

I love them 

[fdelavera]

que pena que hayan hecho playback... me imagino el coraje que Jon ha de haber tenido siendo el perfeccionista que es, al ver que EL se equivoco al olvidarse que el grito era mas largo. Tal vez desde aqui empezo a ser perfeccionista como lo es ahora... es como el comienzo de Prayer en Wembly - en la noche del DVD - , error de Richie por comenzar a tocar tarde. Son partes que se necesitan graber, yo lo he hecho en tributos a bon jovi, es complicado sincronizar todo asi.

[nousega13]

0.01 sec "huhhhh"

[uriiolinho]

@PaulRonald chupame la polla hijo de la gran puta

[PaulRonald]

omg :O that high part at: 4:55 is playback :O

[honeyandolivegaze]

@PaulRonald Oye, si no sabes, mejor no escribas. En ese entonces, y en este caso en el concierto de Shibuya , los japoneses editaban los videos de tal forma que dejaban la canción de una presentación, pero introducían variantes de imágenes de otros conciertos. Así, que de play back nada.

[honeyandolivegaze]

@PaulRonald En el video de "The hardest part is the night" ponen la imagen del ensayo en el estudio. Y el concierto en general no está sincronizada totalmente la imagen con la voz. Al editarlo no lo hicieron bien.

[Wikileaks2k]

@PaulRonald You're right... To those who don't believe it: how come you still hear JBJ's voice when his microphone isn't near his mouth? Too bad, he could still manage that high note in 1984 :)

[maiden910802]

Back at the time when Bon jovi where best! Thumbs up if you agree

[PrincessIsCrazy]

Wow :) Love from the 4:56 to 5:17 <3 LOVEE BON JOVI <

[msgypsygirl1972]

OMG. Awesome! Although they are still good now, wish I had seen Bon Jovi in the 80s and not waited 25 years.

[dragon5fhg]

@msgypsygirl1972 they still r AW$OME

[squadgreen]

4:55 quien canta???

[ezeiza69]

@squadgreen jajajajajaj vistee? lo mismo note yo! siempre lo cubre david en partes dificiles, pero me parece q la voz q sale es la de jon y obviamente grabada xq no esta cantando! jajajaja

[Th3P4driin0]

@ezeiza69 la voz de david tiene un tono mas bajo y no llega a esos gritos, es jon solo q bueno, investiga algo de canto, aun cuando te alejas del microfono, te capta y hay sige el grito mientras da la vuelta, y no digas que es playback porfavor, las unicas veces que usaron playback fue en una televisora argentina porque jon estaba lastimado de la voz luego de una gira y desde esa gira no dava su voz aguda, otra fue en españa x estar muy enfermo, informate primero porfavor ok?

BON JOVI 4 EVER!!!

[ezeiza69]

@Th3P4driin0 como se nota q no sabes nada de bon jovi!! informate vos! yo soy fanatico pero tengo q decirte q jon saco a lo largo de sus giras muchas partes grabadas, no todo, solo partes dificiles de notas altas, como los gritos de in these arms, livin, y demas, si tenes algo de oido, junta 3 tipos q hagan coros a ver si suenan parecido! en livin usaron toda su vida los coros grabados, y si no salen grabados usan un efecto de octavas, xq suena como si cantaran 10 personas

[Lanuevaleymusical]

@ezeiza69 cuelgate de estas bolas saco de mierda

[ezeiza69]

@Th3P4driin0 y david hacia los agudos en la banda, en q mundo vivis salame? hace agudos con falsete y agudos de voz normal, tenes miles de temas donde podes escucharlo, david tenia muy buenos agudos, inclusive hubo veces q le hizo el "livin on a prayer" mientras jon se qedaba moviendo la boca, siempre uso esa modalidad, muy pocas veces canto y dio todo en el escenario, desde los 90 q no tiene mas voz, en el 93 remonto y se qedo sin voz de nuevo.

[ezeiza69]

@Th3P4driin0 busca bon jovi livin on a prayer alemania, en ese tema hace agudos en el coro david, re altos, escucha livin on a prayer milan 93, escucha los ultimos coros de david, voz raspada bien aguda, escucha los agudos falseados de breaking even, los hace el tmb, escucha in these arms tonight show, escucha los agudos, ahi tenes q tener oido se oyen de fondo, primero aprende y desp opina!

[Lanuevaleymusical]

@ezeiza69 oe cavsa cierra el orto y dedicate a escuchar no mas, pareces un argentino tarado, ah me olvidaba ya eres un argentino y ya eres tarado. aunque ser argentino es sinonimo de monia

[ezeiza69]

@Lanuevaleymusical che bobo, el idiota sos vos, a ver decime q sabes de la banda de los coros? quien hace q cosa? quiero leer lo q sabes dale! pelotudo! entras a joder a los demas y a boquear y ni sabes de lo q estoy hablando salame! pelotudo! no sabes nada, no hables queres?? tarado! tenes q saber de lo q estas hablando para poder hablar y se nota q no sabes! y si sabes, habla! pelotudo! q tenes para decir de la banda?

[Lanuevaleymusical]

@Th3P4driin0

[210acer]

around this time they were good, but now they suck

[luvm1chael]

@210acer you suck...they've lasted over 20 years for a reason!

[millinha54]

David! \o/ ♥

[lucianaminari]

I LOVE THIS MAN AND YOUR ENERGY... ALWAYS

THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD !!!

[liviouskami]

I wish the original rocked as hard as this one.

[SalloBahamonde]

what does he shout at 3:22?

[TheBGR10]

Isso é uma raridade!!!

[metalasserra]

2:16 yeah!!!!!

[Supernaturalrocks7]

They're so crazy!!! They made the 80s so hot!!! I love the 80s because of them,if it wasn't for them i wouldn't have been a fan!!

[MasterChico13]

i know it's not a playback but what about 4.55.

[LeoFansForever]

@MasterChico13 I think it may have been David Bryan (he usually does the high notes)

[Bozzmancommeth]

@MasterChico13 two diff shows mashed together..you know 2 diff performances.

[andxiao]

Look at 4:55, too funny! Obviously he is doing lipsing!

[mordig]

@andxiao hey yeah I jus noticed that and I thought this was live

[gustavekiller]

@mordig it is live. but this one has an replaced audio. there where 3 shows at shibuya there, the video is from one of the nights but the audio from another one of the nights.

[mordig]

@gustavekiller ahh thx 4 clearing that up 4 me, either way bon jovi still rock!!!!

[Bozzmancommeth]

@andxiao 2 diff shows put together..and slight overlap error

[gabocarina96]

80's FOREVER!!!!

[jgcaesar4]

lazycrewband, the voice is most definitely live.

[andrey6720]

В живую так петь

[Alextrax15]

Hey guys RAMBO as arrived!!

[Deandude24]

hold up at 4:56 he is suppose to sing a line he sung those high notes but at 4:56 who was singing that i know he does sing those at other conserts. Did he have a bad day for like when he sung at farm aid 1 1985 im confused who was sing that

[lazycrewband]

lipsync ...

Voice is not live.

[TheGothiclism]

richie, isn't he looks like on stage Rambo? :P

[FrenchHeavyMetal]

Bon Jovi sang the high note perfectly !!!!!

[637lupita]

the best

[urfli911]

david bryan on the keyboards ladies and gentlemen... ;-)

[jorgeiramain]

richie kick ass with the solo. awesome song

[zero1825]

This is not a playback. if u listen to the album version u can tell its not the same. and he isnt lip syncing. hes singing through the whole damn thing. trust me, i would know :)

[vicky281997]

great voice!!! great look!!

i love u!!!!

[ROCKERWORLD1]

..at guitar szűcs elek aka alec sucs

[Wonderbread316]

Isn't this the one that's on their live album

[Onafee1849]

there at that time ca. they were the best.. jon had more power in his voice..but they're still great! 5*

[Doika86]

its obviously playback come on.

He just didnt expect the "runaway" word to last that long. He expected it to end a lil bit earlier, like in the studio version

[jorgeiramain]

not playback!

[santseghotmail]

@jorgeiramain but it seem a lot like a playback in 4:55!!!

PD: I LIKE BON JOVI A LOT!!!!!

[usernametimamalol]

@jorgeiramain ofc not, the sreaming voice is a back vocal...

[honeyandolivegaze]

Seems like Jon lip synced at 4:55, but I am not sure what really happened maybe the delayed effect people have talked about. It´s the only part that can be confusing, for those who don´t know about music technical subjects. Look at them well, though: It´s obvious they definitely do sing all the time (Jon in this case).

Incredible live version!! I love the 80´s and early 90´s Bon Jovi era.

[1devo6587]

in the 80s, backing tracks were big, it could have been that, some of these had adittional voices. along with recorded studio instrunents being pumped through the PA.

[Onafee1849]

@honeyandolivegaze yes you're right but you can hear that it's no playback bon jovi don't make things like that! really i've never seen a live performing with playback from Bon Jovi! And perheps at 4:55 that was the echo effect or the choir or so.

[ajl1986]

The only time they've used playback is on Livin on a Prayer during the SWW tour!!

[sayerlin]

@ajl1986 , what is a play back

[ajl1986]

@sayerlin when they play the recorded version i.e mime.

[bonskidroses]

1) Is Jon using backup vox at the end of the high notes?

2) This sounds like the version on OWN:Live... is it?

[Bullock1991]

There is delay on the mic because you can hear it throughout the song. However 4:55  just sounds like playback....

[Lanuevaleymusical]

bon jovi rocks the fuckin' world. but not the playback

[DjEscape07]

Best live performing of runaway ever

[ESPM2DELUXE]

no microphone and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

hahahahahahahaha

[ESPM2DELUXE]

look 4.55 hahahahaha

[Lanuevaleymusical]

playback

[ahadriz]

now days the music going DOWN ,

like Joe Satriani's say going down , down down down down lol

[hippiehendrix]

FUCK!!! look at richie go... wish i was around back then... music isnt like it used to be... now its screamo and rap shit.

[szymano]

What a backing vocals... Oh my God...

They were Huge!!

[johnbr59]

david bryan has the most awesome hair

[Chicoutimi]

DE PUTA MARE!!!!uhh yeah!

[DCNK]

Who sings at 4:55 ? :P

[ShalafiMarduk]

LOL xDDDDD

[ahadriz]

@DCNK

I thought it was richie sambora in the first place coz that is his voice not even Jon's

[klaksel]

at 4:55 when jon takes away the mic but you stil hear him.. thats some sort of echo they played.. its not playback. just some technical thing.. and its not richie, that is jon all the time :D how he used to sound, yeah!

[Lanuevaleymusical]

PLAY BACK

[Onafee1849]

@Lanuevaleymusical er.sorry but you can hear the difference!!!

[joeythelips69]

@ahadriz I think it is jon i think the video is just a second behind am not sure?

[Maxi15342]

back wen people knew how to sing/ play their instrument. BON JOVI FOREVER

[Singerboy]

Amen!

[cherry1976]

Brillian Song - Brilliant Band !

[Barreno]

one of the best bands ever... and completely underrated band...

[SwedishDelighter]

@Barreno Underrated? they've sold about 140 million records..

[Th1r1oN]

Too bad he doesn't have the voice capability he used to have :(

5/5 for this GREAT performance!

[LisaLoveTheVeronicas]

I luv richie's solos ...... =)

[led96zeppelin]

richie sambora is the best

[iAn7tOrrEs]

this is the same version they complied for the 1985-2001 live version album

[wiesiaswilcza]

this times richie has better solos then now

[PJdreamer]

yeah i agree

[waajyar]

BON JOVI ROCKS ! ! !

[herbiedrumr369]

lets go out on a limb and call it harmonizing, 9we may eventually spell it different doe

[tomerlithium]

for all of you lip sync at 4:55

david bryan sings with jon at this part

watch the 1984 tokyo performance

you can see david bryan singing all the high pitched notes

[gothicgirl989]

one of the best versions Iever heard, wow!

[Moowitch13]

i love bon jovi

[NilesElitegirl97]

one of the best bands live.

(:

[wildsallyanne]

@NilesElitegirl97 EPIC xxxx wat more can u say!!!!pure talent

[ccbgmo]

@NilesElitegirl97 Used to be 

[51Lespaul]

The Guitar work Richie put into this song is amazing Best guitarist i have ever seen

[dowling1981]

Indeed. Perhaps Johnglyn Bon Jovi needs to be portained?

[waajyar]

RICHIE IS GOD ! ! !

[LateralisUndertow]

If I could hit those high notes Jon does at the end of the song,I would be outta breath for the rest of the show. This is a great tune

[b2bHans]

My head would blow off if i would do that :D

[lionranger2432]

It's sad he can't do that anymore though

[SeaSand]

to Fitnessboy02, me too! too bad I could not see that performance :-(

[bluemilk2nd]

Ha ha David is funny...... I love the expression on his face!!!!

[Ataev07]

Ooh, she's a little runaway.

Daddy's girl learned fast

All those things he couldn't say.

Ooh, she's a little runaway.

A different line every night guaranteed to blow your mind

See you out on the streets, call me for a wild time

So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can do

There's only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you

[Ataev07]

On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives

They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes

All your life all you've asked when's your daddy gonna talk to you

You were living in another world tryin' to get your message through.

No one heard a single word you said.

They should have seen it in your eyes

What was going around your heart.

[shazmeister2005]

at this time they were actually a metal band (ableit a hair metal band lol) but that is what metal was in 1985! the whole sound and look of the band changed after SWW, richies guitar work on the first 2 albums is amazing, after that he toned it down a bit, i mean its still great but you get the feeling he is playing well within his limits

[Coldacre]

has anyone noticed at 4:56 that Jon moves away from the mic yet his voice keeps singing??? very suss....

[panagiotis95]

I think this is because of an effect, such as echo. Iron Maiden do this quite often if you have heard.

[shazmeister2005]

i see what you mean but like a few people have said its a delay effect. if you watch his lips he is singing out of time to the sound you hear. this is due to the delay and so you keep hearing his voice after he has finished singing it

[tomerlithium]

dude

hes not the only one whos singing

david bryan sings the high pitched notes too

[toetappinfun]

it's a great intro I have to say but I noticed that it's very similar to Toto's "Hold the Line"..maybe coincidence not sure!

[Hutu58]

Watching their '80s videos makes me wish I were alive to enjoy their concerts at that time. Amazing video!!!!

[hellfireson]

The best version of this song.

La meijor version de cette chanson.

La mejor versión de esta canción.

Increíble...

[theodoros44]

best glam/rock song..ever.

[cherry1976]

SUPERB !

[Chrisgnr4]

They Were Great Back In The 80's

[husky940]

there still great now

[phantomotaku]

Hey look! It's Bon Jovi...you know, when Jon wasn't under the delusion that he is a country super star.

Its good to see a performance of this song thats not played at 3/4 the original tempo. Too bad I have to watch a video from 24 years ago to see it.

[Mendlev]

you´re right

[KatiKatjes]

Awesome!!! I luv his long hair. It makes me dreaming, that I rag him with my fingers throug the hair. Thnx for sharing.

[interveningangel]

Great video. I love this song to begin with, but I enjoyed how they performed it here. They always have such a good time when they put on a show. I've always enjoyed seeing them live. I think Jon looks awesome here. He always looks awesome though!LOL It is cool to see him with his hair long like that. I always did love it that long. I've really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for sharing it!

[smile95007]

Who can beleive they doing lip sinc in those years ?? Since they can't blame JOn for doing it in 2008 now some people found it he did it back in 1985...??! please give Jon a a break !!! And by they way..Bon Jovi are welcome to come back to Argentina and make all the lip sinc they want !!!!!!!! We miss you guys !!!
