That's pretty rough stuff. Richie looked like he was fuming when his guitar failed at the start of Stranger and he never really recovered from there. Once he takes a knock he struggles to shake it off it seems.

The drummer change did them no favours either. He was all over the place. He made a few silly mistakes in the Wanted outro and it took him forever to get started on Prayer. I'm all for rock that's rough around the edges but as Supersomic said, that sounded like a 2nd rate cover band.

It's a shame as those videos were very nicely filmed and the sound was great. But hey at least Kenny Powers turned up to sing Prayer.

The audio is great!! Thank you Rolo!

About Richie, he still shows some stints of his geniality, specially on Wanted, and should be praised for trying something different of what he does/did at Bon Jovi.

Sadly, as a genious he is/was, it's unacceptable for him to make so many errors at Prayer (first the solo, then he lost the rhythm on the -inexistent- key change, then the mumbling of random words), song that he has played for 28 years now. It looks like he knows he's screwing but he doesn't give a f_ck.

I think ticos_stick hit the nail on the head - it's a confidence thing. After he botched the solo in Prayer, he was distracted, no doubt kicking himself that made the mistake at all, and that threw him off completely. He needs to learn to pick himself up, refocus more quickly and not let it affect the rest of his performance.

Haters will enjoy with it.

To be fair Roly, Stranger is pretty good. Listening to it as we speak. Richie vocally sounds decent and the solo sounded good - the odd bum note but who cares. I'll admit it (as a hater) Stranger aint bad.

I'll listen to the rest and pass judgement

EDIT: Wanted isn't as bad as people make out. The band that are playing with Richie are pretty shit. His blonde bint looks a right miserable cow as well. I listen on.....

EDIT: Not feeling it with Prayer. That chick. Nah. Infact its pretty awful. And the solo....disaster

The only positives I can take from this is that Richie hasn't let his voice go as much as Jon has.

The guy needs to get back into Bon Jovi pronto - because even though this isn't as car crash as I thought it would be it aint working. Stranger was pretty good though. Prayer was a catastrophe

That is hands down the worst version of Prayer I've ever heard!

Have you been at any of Richie's gigs on this tour? Cause this is very typical performance from the band. Nor Richie or Ori knows when or what should they sing. Richie's trademark: he doesn't know how to start a sentence. For me it's not the worst, it's bad but typical.

Very typical? That's just nonsense. This is Richie at his worst. His tour was far from this bad.

Well not in my opinion.

Yeah, it's obviously your opinion. A nonsense opinion.
