pwbbounce said on December 20, 2005 12:16:
Well, the tour has been on the road now storming it’s way across America for a month or so and seems to be their biggest since the 80’s, with predicted profits of over $100,000,000. Not bad for a band who many thought were over 10 years ago.
Has anyone seen this show yet? Or has anyone got any tickets for the tour? I’m off to the Wembley Stadium show on June 11th. Can’t wait.
Up to date setlists can be found on www.bonjovi.com if anyone is interested. Seems to be playing all the major hits (even Always!) Only one thing missing - Lay Your Hands On Me. :-(
Also just a little info: 2nd Single worldwide (apart from USA) is Welcome To Wherever You Are - released on January 9th in the UK. America is going with the country-fied version of Who Says You Can’t Go Home

Welcome was released in Sweden yesterday, according to CDON. Where can I find the info about the US single?

I’d reply to this but for fear of having my pointless comment deleted too!

@ Rox-k - Number 2 in the album chart isn’t good?? It’s done the same as One Wild Night, Bounce and This left Feels Right
@ Tev - have a look on their website re Who Says... It’s got some girl from a band called Sugarland singing with it. Haven’ heard that version yet. I’m not sure when it’s out though over there.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on December 21, 2005 09:44:
Obviously the pointless comment deleted was another moan about the band. Not sure why people take the piss (excuse my language) all the time. I know everyone can’t like every artist/band, but at least appreciate what they’ve acheived. 100,000,000+ albums sold, 2500+ shows performed, seen by 32m+ people, they’ve gotta be doing something right...??
Yeah maybe his voice isn’t as strong as it used to be, but I can name far worse singers who shouldn’t be on the stage!
I know everyones entitled to their own opinion, but if you see a thread you don’t like, why go into it? (Not getting at you there Vix!)
rox-kuryliw said on December 21, 2005 09:58:
pwbbounce num 2 is good, but i went out the chart so fast (didnt expect it togo that fast) , thats all im saying .
pwbbounce (moderator) said on December 21, 2005 10:15:
I think it was around for 7-8 weeks in the charts. Yeah, not as good as earlier records, but seems to be the average nowadays for most artists. Also, many of the albums sold are now downloaded, so the chart positions are effected. Actually CD sales are down, as we know, but downloads are up.
Anyway this is a thread on the tour, so let’s discuss that!!
coyboyusa said on December 21, 2005 13:50:
lol vix i thought that was rather rude of the moderator so let me expand on my early morning yawn, how can you album bubble under platinum status since its release, vanish off of the billboard top 40 in less than 2 months and that justifies a world tour?
pwbbounce (moderator) said on December 21, 2005 15:18:
not worth a comment cbusa. with a band the following the size that they’ve got, they don’t even have to release an album to go on the road!
Vixzter said on December 21, 2005 15:21:
i’d like to get my hands on a few seating tickets to go see ewm in Southampton but they’re like gold dust :-(
seen em 3 or 4 times, very good live just not very keen on Jon Bon Jovi as I think he’s well up his own arse
realsuga said on December 21, 2005 18:07:
very valid point@pwb. one of best live! acts on the planet!
Mitya said on December 25, 2005 09:33:
me, I just bought Bounce the other month, a good album I must say
felicity-brown said on December 25, 2005 20:12:
I wanna go to the Wembley date n’all - the location is great for me, but I think is all sold out. I didn’t even known they’d gone on sale. I’m sure I’ll get my hands on a ticket or two ...if I really want ;)
pwbbounce (moderator) said on January 7, 2006 09:36:
Nickleback have announced that they are supporting Bon Jovi on the UK dates. Not sure about the rest of Europe yet. Not too bad. I have their albums, but don’t listen to them that often
Speedo said on January 7, 2006 15:16:
Nickleback is also the support act in Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Oliver said on January 8, 2006 21:02:
Great choice: Nickelback as support act! I’m really happy about this. We’re going to Munich (sold out = 70’000), Berne (not sold out yet; some standing places left), and yes, maybe Innsbruck. That would be cool. One show in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Will there be more Roxers on these B.J. dates? I think Have a nice day is one of their best albums (even if it didn’t chart well; that’s the influence of rap and hip hop ...)
Breathe8 said on January 22, 2006 19:17:
Really? 2nd concert at Wembley stadium for 80.000 people? I think this concert won´t be sell but I don´t know. Maybe in this summer I will see live at Wembley stadium my 2nd favourite band.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on January 23, 2006 09:19:
The original concert at Wembley sold out within 2 hours, so I expect demend for this new one will be really high. Pretty impressive if they can sell 180,000 tickets for the shows!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on January 30, 2006 08:10:
New single Welcome To Wherever You Are FINALLY out in the UK today!!
Vixzter said on January 30, 2006 19:48:

Yes, it is a little bit worring. Not sure what will happen if the stadium isn’t finished. :-(
tevensso (moderator) said on January 31, 2006 10:53:
I downloaded the US single at allofmp3.com, but I will continue to look for it at eBay. It’s a lot better than the Euro single.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on January 31, 2006 12:37:
Was that Who Says You Can’t Go Home?? Yeah, I like that song, but haven’t heard the American single version. Is that the “country-fied” version?

OFFICIAL, CONFIRMED NEWS on BON JOVI: WEMBLEY STADIUM SHOWS
(Thursday, March 30, 2006)
this is the official press release just issued:
BON JOVI - THE SHOW WILL GO ON
US Icons announce alternative venue to hold their June 10th and 11th shows
Just like Wembley only different
London, March 31st, 2006. – Fans who have bought tickets to see Bon Jovi’s first tour in over 3 years will not be disappointed - they will still get to see one of the world’s greatest rock bands live!
Promoters AEG Live have confirmed that the two June dates, originally planned for Wembley Stadium, will now be taking place in the world renowned Milton Keynes National Bowl. After contact with Wembley it is evident that the Stadium will not be ready for the Bon Jovi shows in June. Therefore to ensure that Bon Jovi’s fans are not disappointed, AEG Live And Bon Jovi have decided to move the shows to Milton Keynes.
Bon Jovi’s success has been punctuated through the years by numerous sell out shows at The Bowl. It’s therefore only fitting that they should return to UK’s leading outdoor venue which has supported them throughout their career and where they feel right at home.
“Having closed the original Wembley Stadium, it would have been a fitting honor to open the new one,” says Jon Bon Jovi. “However, the most important element was always the live concerts themselves. So while the location may have changed, the celebration will remain the same. Thank you to our fans - for your loyalty and your patience. We’ll see you for two great nights of rock ’n’ roll at Milton Keynes.”
The HAVE A NICE DAY tour is the band’s first in 3 years. The European leg will kick off in on May 13th in Germany moving onto Ireland and then Holland - with the final stages here in the UK. Joining them on tour are Canadian rock band Nickelback who have stormed the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.
THE FULL UK DATES are as follows:
* June 3rd 2006 - Hampden Park Stadium, Glasgow
* June 4th 2006 - City of Manchester Stadium, Manchester
* June 7th 2006 - Ricoh Arena, Coventry
* June 9th 2006 - The Friends Provident St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton
* June 10th 2006 – The Bowl, Milton Keynes
* June 11th 2006 - The Bowl, Milton Keynes
Tickets are available from the 24-Hour hotline: 0870 405 0448 or online @ www.aeglive.co.uk
All tickets purchased for Wembley are valid for The National Bowl on the respective dates and thus there will be no rebooking required. All customers will be contacted either by email or letter with further information.

AEG Live and Bon Jovi are working with rail companies to ensure that there will be late night trains returning to London

Could somebody give us more info about Milton Keynes arena??
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 3, 2006 21:17:
do a google search on Milton Keynes national bowl
Breathe8 said on April 5, 2006 11:19:
It´s a pity what happened with Wembley. I can´t understand why stadium will open in 2007 and not this year yet.
natasha1 said on April 5, 2006 12:04:
ill be there for the Sunday show - so gutted its moved from Wembley - will be driving up there...not sure if will drive back same night or not - might couch surf and take the Monday off...
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 5, 2006 12:08:
I’m going to both shows now. Wasn’t going to but couldn’t resist :-))) Only got gold circle ones for the Sunday though.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 7, 2006 09:10:
Just found some good quality live recordings from the tour online. Can’t wait for the concerts now hearing the songs!!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 20, 2006 06:53:
A 7th UK Show has just been announced, for 13th June at KC Stadium in Hull!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 20, 2006 07:17:
I have two spare tickets for the Sunday 11th June at Milton Keynes if anyone’s interested. They’re Gold Circle tickets. If you want any further info send me an email!!! [email protected]
Speedo said on April 20, 2006 11:48:
I’m also going to MK on 11 June, but first to Nijmegen (Netherlands), in exactly 5 weeks from today!
Where did you find those live recordings?
Thanks in advance!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on April 20, 2006 14:31:

The tracks are Have A Nice Day, Born To Be My Baby, Bad Medicine, Complicated, Livin’ On A Prayer, Raise Your Hands, Its My Life & Keep The Faith. Would you like them??

Speedo said on May 13, 2006 09:46:
Yesterday, during the soundcheck for today’s show in Düsseldorf, Germany, Dry County was rehearsed!!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on May 13, 2006 09:51:
Really?? I love that song!!
So the European leg starts today. Not long now until I get to see them!!
Speedo said on May 13, 2006 09:53:
I so can’t wait now!!
And I hope DC makes it into the setlist for the next couple of weeks, as it’s one of my favourites, especially live!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on May 13, 2006 14:32:
@ Speedo: Are you going with anyone to the MK shows??
Speedo said on May 13, 2006 15:36:
@Pwbbounce:
I’m going to Nijmegen and only one MK show (the second date). I’m going to MK with my best friend, from Belgium, and you?
Apparently, radio Eins Live, which has internet radio as well, is going to broadcast some snippets of tonight’s show in Düsseldorf!
@Japeke
You should check out www.bonjovi.nl/forum if you want to get into the concert mood for Nijmegen!!
Speedo said on May 13, 2006 15:41:
let’s hope the rumour is true and that some pieces of tonight’s gig will be broadcast here:

Doesn’t look to bad ;)
I wouldn’t mind going to a BonJovi concert. They’ve got a few good songs :)
Speedo said on May 18, 2006 10:33:
@ RobS
They’re brilliant, absolutely great live!
If you ever get the chance, I wouldn’t hesitate if I were you :)
Speedo said on May 26, 2006 09:33:
Last night, I went to see Bon Jovi!
I had a great night. Jon was in a very good mood. The band played for 2h 40 minutes.
The setlist could have been better: no Dry County this time :(
I hope that one will show up in MK on 11 June!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on June 5, 2006 07:16:
UK tour has now started. Last night the band played in Manchester, the 2nd date of 7, to 55,000 people. And they played Dry County.
Not long to Sunday now..... Milton Keynes here I come!!!
natasha1 said on June 12, 2006 14:53:
Wey hey! Bon Jovi at Milton Keynes last night rocked!
Still gutted it wasnt wembley though but it was nice to chill out and have a little snooze on the grass before Nickleback came on - they rocked big time!
I was disappointed by the sound for the first 1hr or so - it wasnt even loud - not good for a rock concert - maybe it was where i was sitting but the sound got better in the last half of the show....
They did the acoustic version of Always - one of my fav’s.
It was so good to see them back again on UK soil.
Bought the tshirt with the red face on the front and the 2 cowgirl silhouttes - v cool!
Oh and 2 very small ice creams were £7 !!!!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on June 13, 2006 08:09:
I thought this show was amazing!!! The sound was fine from where I was, but I was right at the front,so maybe that had something to do with it! :-)
Gutted it’s over, but wow, Was better than Hyde Park in 2003!

And, what about Nickleback. I thought they were excellent!!
natasha1 said on June 13, 2006 11:48:
Nickleback rocked - they were funny without being too crude too!
Def downlaod some of their tracks !
what a fantastic group to support them
pwbbounce (moderator) said on June 14, 2006 17:13:
Yeah I’ve got all their albums. The first one “Curb” is not too great, but the others following are cool. Especially The Long Road!
tevensso (moderator) said on June 15, 2006 18:13:
So unfair. :( They won’t play Sweden at all. WAAAAHHH!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on June 16, 2006 08:33:
@ Tev - Not sure why they haven’t played in more Euro countries. They normally do. Plus they haven’t done Australia this time either. Strange. Have you heard any live recordings from this tour??
Speedo said on June 16, 2006 08:53:
Actually, I heard rumours about Bon Jovi doing an Australian tour this September.
tevensso (moderator) said on June 16, 2006 09:14:
No recordings. I also heard that they are touring Down Under this fall. :S
pwbbounce (moderator) said on June 16, 2006 10:21:
There’s no official news on Aussie tour. As far as their website says the tour finishes on July 29 in New Jersey.
I’ve got some recordings from the tour at home. They’re good quaility, I’ll send some to you when I get home later.
I’ve got:
Bad Medicine
Born To Be My Baby
Livin’ On A Prayer
Have A Nice Day
Complicated
I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead
Who Says You Can’t Go Home
Last Man Standing
Wanted Dead or Alive

THE BON JOVI MYSTERY:
Still no clear indication of what is going on in Bon Jovi land, but if recent reports are accurate - especially the absolutely horrid reviews coming in from the band’s final European show at Hull in the UK - it seems there is definite tension within the band, most likely between frontman Jon Bon Jovi and guitarist Richie Sambora. All the reviews of the Hull show say frontman JBJ could not hide his foul mood on stage and barely acknowledged Richie all night.
I learnt overnight that negotiations with the band to bring them to Moncton, New Brunswick in Canada were well underway before also being abruptly terminated. The band have a handful of North American dates left, culminating in one final show at Giants Stadium, NJ, July 29.
Stay tuned...

After reading a lot of the answers on the Q&A section on their website, I’m doubtfull. They haven’t given any details yet, but I could imagine that one of the Giant Stadium concerts later on in July might be recorded. Hopefully anyway!! They didn’t do one on the Bounce Tour, so i think it’s about time
Speedo said on July 16, 2006 11:51:
This just in: the boys are going to release a second GH album this Autumn (with hopefully some new songs) and after that they’re going to release a whole new studio album!!

an interview with Jon on some American radio station
I think the link is on Bon Jovi’s homepage

pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 19, 2006 11:01:
No, I know. I think this has come from the success of WhoSays You Can’t Go Home country version in US. Being number 1 for a couple of weeks has probably given them interest in that field. It’ll be interesting to see how it shapes up, but I’ll be looking forward to the new album more no doubt
