Last Night's Bon Jovi Concert Was the Bomb!

16. Ok talk to me when you are 21 Chris and TD1988 haha my daughter goes to see DMB and says they are awesome too.. BJ has been around before you guys were born and still are going strong.. Lets see if Dave can pull that off 25 or so years from now???

17. i've seen dave live before, i've aso seen bon jovi who are wayyyyy out of dave's league. i mean seriously, DMB are great...but they put out 3 live cds for one studio....and they just tour constanlty....the only reason they're still around is because they're big with ubiversity students and their fan base just renews itself as students graduate and others come in. I couldnt possibly see Dave still touring in 25 years, at least nothing other than the bar circuit!
once again, i love dave and couldnt say anything wrong about that band, but comparing them to Bon Jovi, career wise or in concert, is just wrong,

18. you people shouldn't bother commenting if you dont even know how to spell the names, its JON not "John" and RICHIE not "ritchie" and also Bon Jovi is one of the greatest live bands i have ever seen people who i know arent fans who have went to a Bon Jovi show always end up blown away. Okay and give Richie a break maybe before you make your own little remarks you should read the full story on what happened and its not like you have ever made a mistake. Okay so give the band a break and dont be a hater.

20. #17, you got one thing right. Dave and Bon Jovi are in two different leagues alright!! One's called one of the most talented musicians of all time and the other is a the lead singer of a big haired pop band. Two leagues is right! Thanks for clarifying. Its like saying Brittany Spears is talented. But then again, if you like "pop" artists like Bon Jovi you probably do like B.Spears. FYI DMB tours to give the fans what they want - and what they want is to hear the greatest live band of the last 20 years.

21. Why are you guy comparing Dave and Bon Jovi?? But, why not! Dave has that "it" factor and to me atleast Bon Jovi is really tacky. Musically, I agree Dave and his band are far better, lyrics and meaning behind his songs are deep as compared to Bon Jovi who seems fairly light and fluffy. Bon Jovi is definitely a great band tho. Im 39 so I guess I can speak to Dave's music? I didn't get the age comment earlier.

22. #19....you're missing my point completly.... first of all get you facts staight....DMB havent been touring for 20 years. 2nd, like i said DMB are great and are one of my favorite bands. what i was saying, is performance wise, bon jovi are way better, dave are great live, but there simply isnt as much energy. I also agree when you said that DMB have excellent lyrics and some songs of theirs are really meaningfull, but not all. then again, not all bon jovi is commercial bubble gum rock. Some of their less known stuff is excellent.
your britney spears comparison makes absolutly no sense, same goes for your hair comment. the second i saw you where ready to generalize to that point, i realized you couldnt be taken seriously.

23. I was at that show last night, it was crazy. thousands of us stood outside for hours worried and waiting to see if they'd play or not.

I was so effing worried but thankfully everything was fine.

the show went on around 9 and ended after midnight. and it was well worth the wait. despite how scary the first half of the night was, the second half was amazing. one of the best shows i've ever been to. Bon Jovi are such a great band and they really love their fans, they definitely could've just said "we can just reschedule" but instead they waited it out. gotta love them.

24. JBJ is one of the most talented, entertaining shows I have ever seen (and I've been to over 1,000 concerts). I have worked backstage and JBJ was polite, nice and HOT! hehe Sorry, couldnt resist. Seriously, they are so talented and give 150% to every show they perform. And they give back to the less fortunate of the world. Jon: if you read this: your "Hallelujah" gave me chills... WOW! Love ya!!!!

25. Regarding the B.Spears thing: I was just trying to draw a comparison, many people who listen to certain types of music, and quite frankly are not the sharpest tools in the shed - may think she is talented musically. Mr. Bon Jovi does have big hair!
Seriously tho, I am sure JBJ actually has a few deep songs - just not too many. DMB has been touring since 1991, so that would lead me to believe, I could safely make the comment that they are the best live band over the last twenty years (90's and 00's)

Great show last night by Daughtry and Bon Jovi. Richie Sambora played awesome. Give him a break, alot of people screw up, it's what you do next that counts. We waited 3 hours to get in and everyone cheered when the bomb sniffing dogs came out.
The shows were way worth the wait.

27. Bon Jovi more energy than DMB??????????????????????????????????????????
Can't be!

28. hey, yes it can be, DMB live are energetic on few songs here and there but thats not the case of the majority of their songs. In general, the energy is higher at a bon jovi concert, thats a fact, not only does the singer move and jump around more, but their type of music is more suitable for the stadiums and big crowds. Dave has more of a relaxed vibe (most of the time).

29. Hey, I move and jump around - does that make me a great entertainer? ha ha...
I vote DMB!
