Bon Jovi put on a great show, giving the fans the hits they came for as well as a small taste of the new album. Both ballads and "scream at the top of your lungs" songs made the set list for a well-rounded show.
There were only a few disappointments:
1. Sound - Our seats, though fairly close to the stage, had no speakers directed to them as they were BEHIND the stage, in the area listed as "obscured view". With speakers aimed only in front, we could hear the instruments well but the lyrics were not clear and drowned out.
2. Irritating people - Without the speakers directed towards us, the people in section 113, row 16, seats 17-20 who WOULDN'T SHUT UP THE ENTIRE TIME and seemed to enjoy the sound of their voices more than Bon Jovi and clearly shouldn't have been there, prevented us from fully enjoying the concert.
3. Pillars - There were pillars that occasionally rose from the ground and dropped from the ceiling, providing some sort of screen for the videos, that did little to enhance the music while also blocking our view of the stage. Booo!
All in all, their last concert at the CanadInn's Stadium in 2010 was far superior.
