Pretty bad vocals

I’m reading so many negative reviews. I thought it was great. Fine, so he is not 25 anymore in his voice quality. It’s was still really great. I appreciated the change with age. And the hat band could still rule an arena. I’d definitely buy tickets to another concert. I was thrilled and had a great time.
Bon Jovi Rocked. A great concert. A band that never disappoints.
Bon Jovi can still rock it at 60. He was awesome and still good looking as ever
I waited 36 years to see him after not being allowed to go as a teenager. (Strict parents) my 13 year old , who should’ve been an 80’s kid also ,and I drove over 500 miles to see him and it was worth it completely . He can still rock an auditorium in Nashville for sure and I would imagine anywhere else also. The crowd loved him !!!
It’s been a while since I’ve been to a live Bon Jovi concert! The best trip and ticket purchase ever!
Had a good time at the Bon Jovi concert. Couldn’t care less that Jon didn’t sing like it was 1989. Who does after 30 years. We had fun singing along. As far as Bridgestone, not a fan of cashless and $11 for a coke is ridiculous! Facility was clean and service was excellent.
I have been to several Bon Jovi Concerts and they never disappoint. But I'll be honest he could have sang the ABCs and I would have been happy!
Bon Jovi is such a great band. Great musicians. Second time I attend to one of their concerts at the American Airlines Center and I have loved every minute of both concerts.
The only thing I would change is more screens to see. There were only 2 one on each side and it was hard to see them
I have been a Bon Jovi fan since the beginning of their existence. My very first concert was to Bon Jovi. I am an avid music lover, but Bon Jovi is my all-time favorite. My husband is a drummer is a local band which is no where near the scale of this band, but I do know the power of a set list. If you want to put your new material in the show and bank on your brand, sprinkle the new material with the old. I sat through at least 6 consecutive songs I did not know nor could I understand the words because the sound was poor. I am so disappointed in the show. I totally get the band wanting to play their new material, BUT have some respect for the fans and play the songs we love that made them millionaires. The tickets for this show went on sale around my birthday so this concert was my long awaited birthday present and it was a total let down. I think this concert was the end of the tour and I could tell. After sitting through an hour of songs I didn't know, I left a concert of my favorite band and abandoned my birthday present. Totally disgusted and totally disappointed. I should really get my money back. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of 1 is because I really like the Bridgestone venue. It has great staff, clean bathrooms, great location, a variety of vendors and an accommodating layout.
Bon Jovi gave it his all, but unfortunately his voice was not there...
The Bon Jovi concert was amazing. We were on our feet and singing along all night long. Our only problem was the ticketmaster app. We could not log in to it to access our tickets. We lost access to our paid parking and if we did not pre load the tickets we would have lost those as well.
Bon Jovi appeared in the crowd singing Living On A Prayer a bit later than showtime. Seemed half of the show was deep cuts because the people around me didn't seem to recognize the songs. They skipped Runaway, Lay Your Hand On Me, Blaze Of Glory, and Bed Of Roses. The opening act was Jessa. Not sure if she opens for them at every show. Bon Jovi does not sound the same and a bit more nasally. His projection is not what it used to be and is often covered up by drums. Even with these drawbacks it was a good show and seeing a legend live is always worth it.
This was my first time seeing Bon Jovi live and I was really looking forward to it. Then someone showed me some articles that were published recently about Jon's voice being " off " or just not quite right. I have to say I agree with them. I was really disappointed in how he sounded. Maybe he just needs to take some time off to rest his vocal chords. He did a bunch of jumping up and down and running around and to me that was meant to distract away from his voice. I actually left way early and I saw a lot of other people leaving then as well. I wish I had passed on this one.
I grew up a Bon Jovi fan and always loved his songs. We were disappointed that Jon Bon Jovi didn't sing most of their hits when his fanbase was obviously primarily GenX. He should've also quit touring if he can't even sing his songs anymore. He's lost his voice. Most songs were off key or sounded like he was mumbling. The only redeeming factor was his energy and charisma. He is still a great act in terms of performing - that's why I give at least two stars.
So disappointed. We paid way too much money for tickets to see Bon Jovi and his voice was horrible. The show wasn't entertaining at all and the majority of songs were from newer albums.... it was a major let down.
I grew up loving Bon Jovi's music and looked forward to the concert for several weeks. Though the band was great, he sounded nothing like i remember. It seemed there may have been some issues with his voice. Also, the song lineup included very few of the hits that I was looking forward to. I'm sad to say, this will probably be my last Bon Jovi concert.
I feel fans are owed a refund. He can no longer sing. From the setlist, vocals to the lip syncing it was a disaster. My group left well before the end. So very upsetting.
This was my first time seeing Bon Jovi ever as the Toronto concert in 2020 was cancelled due to covid. I have to say Jon is looking good but his voice was "pitchy" alot and i sat right in front of the sound board. Otherwise, it qas a good time and very high energy. Seeing them was definitely "on my list" and shouldve done backstage to meet him.
