I actually have this performance on video and still watch it every so often. Good thing too, because we don't get Comedy Central in Vermont. As for Bed Of Roses, it's definitely a classic. It just hasn't been around as long as some of their other stuff. Give it time. Probably my favorite Bon Jovi ballad (next to "Never Say Goodbye" and "Lie To Me"). > Wanted... simply rocked. [various music theory stuff I don't understand deleted] > Plus, you can say what you want about their music, but I think it would be > impossible for Bon Jovi to sound like crap. and they have the performance > thing DOWN. Bon Jovi is, hands down, the best live band I have ever seen. I caught them on the Keep The Faith tour and they were simply flawless. Everyone was dead on, yet it wasn't sterile. You could feel the energy coming off the stage, and this was in an arena. There were jams, vocal improvisations, you name it. It was like they took the arena and turned it into a really big bar. Being the owner of several Bon Jovi bootlegs, I can honestly say that no Bon Jovi show is the same. They just have a certain chemistry that is magical. Much like OFB. These guys were just MEANT to play together. In the middle of the song, Richie has four measures sec> to change from the Ovation 6/12 doubleneck to his Strat for the solo. > He does it--BARELY. After the thousands of times they've played this song, he could probably do it in his sleep. I think I was just appreciating the obvious talents of a former > musical giant, even after they relenquished their giant status. They may not be the giants they once were, but they were one of the few hard rock bands that were still able to tour arenas succcessfully when grunge was at its height. That says something. Plus, from what I've seen, in Europe they are just as big as they ever were. Richie ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Apr 1998 01:20:06 -0400 (EDT) From: "Richard A.

Oh, you must mean San FranCISCO. ;) Yep, I meant San Francisco, but I was so happy I couldn't spell it. Skipped San Francisco, but Palo Alto is a hop, skip and jump away. You *did* go to the show at the Edge, didn't you ? Yes I did go the Edge show, It was my first DT concert, and I can say I'll never forget it! But the problem was I had to perform a Jazz gig at 7:30, so I had to rush down there, and just made it before the show started. So I didn't get as good view as I'd have liked but it kicked serious ass anyway. At least it being in SF I can kick around before the show begins. >Tickets are already on sale, I'm told. Where did you hear this? I've haven't been down to Tower, but I've looked at the BASS website and they don't have it up yet. Damn, I'm going to go down tomorrow to see if they do. Mark PS.

AND the demo version Take Away My Pain, "Tell me what you're thinkin' / tell me what you're thinkin' / tell me what you're feelin' inside..." I liked it immediately. I also heard the U2 immediately. Now that I think of it, I didn't hear much of it in "The Way It Used To Be", but my U2 experience is more recent. (Achtung Baby, Pop.)

I understand they're not available through BASS. You have to go either to Maritime Hall box office, call them and charge by phone, or go to Guitar Center and pick them up there. I don't know where else they're available yet.

Mainly, I was curious about Cairo and Tempest. Tempest sounds really interesting with the Celtic undertones in the music. Does anyone have anything of theirs? Also, does anyone have Tyranny by Shadow Gallery, and if so, how is it? Thanks, Josh email_address_removed ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 3756 **************************
