I agree fully about the lyrics. I thought I posted that opinion. My biggest problem with them is actually the lack of lyrics, and the changing of the back cover photos. The packaging itself is actually pretty sturdy and not cheap though, more than most Digi's I own (And I buy Digipacks at any chance possible. Prefer them to JC.)

No. David Wild and Ilene Schreibman.

Thanks for the info Bleeding Purist (sorry don't know your name.) and Seb. I will probably pass on your site Seb. I have seen your site in the past maybe someday, but extra spending in my budget is out.

I got Slippery the other day. The V.I.P pass is really cool, but other than that it's mediocre. I won't buy any others.

Wait... 1995 shows counted as These Days tour? There should be images from 1996, I reckon but whatever

Low budget it is, having two tracks 13 on the disc itself.

I agree on the lyrics, though at the same time I gather their thinking is since the discs are supposed to be tied in with online media, that the lyrics will be pulled up at the official site. I have to admit that while I hate when lyrics are not included.... that even when they are included these days I rarely read the booklet when I can sit in front of my 24" monitor and pull them up to any size I want as opposed to squinting at the booklet.

However, I also prefer to have back up and not rely on a website or an internet connection for the info.

When I go to the Vault website it's blank because I have to validate the CD first to see the content. That's why I'm hoping to get a comprehensive list of what is available as well as identification of the downloadable tracks so I know if I already have it (as in the case of Silent Night.)

Then you're doing it wrong. I haven't bought anything yet, but can see the list:

Bon Jovi: Shot Through The Heart
7800 Fahrenheit: Silent Night
Slippery When Wet: Raise Your Hands
New Jersey: I'll Be There For You
Keep The Faith: In These Arms
These Days: Hey God
Crush: Two Story Town
Bounce: Everyday
Have A Nice Day: I Want To Be Loved
Lost Highway: Whole Lot Of Leavin'

That's what becomes available, no word on where they were recorded etc.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Thanks for the list. Hopefully that Two Story Town isn't coming from Zurich, cuz I am interested in that. I Wanna Be Loved is somewhat interesting as well. I'm betting Hey God I already have.

As for doing it wrong.... not likely.

Let's see..... go to bonjovi.com. Click Vault tab. Log in with option to use my gmail for OpenID. Get logged in, see blank spaces under Exclusive Rare Live Tracks, Buy Live Tracks, and Gallery. Try IE, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.... same result. Try creating OpenID directly in case porting of gmail is not working on their end. Same result.



I'm certainly open to suggestions, but I am not doing anything wrong.

Obie released Two Story Town from Arnhem, The Netherlands as well. I expect it to be that version.

Click on Validate More, select an item you have, I know you don't have any but neither do I. Just select an album and you'll see that it shows what bonus content is available.
