Bon Jovi - Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA 3/31/2017

Bon Jovi brought their This House is Not For Sale tour to Philadelphia last week.

 

 

This is the first full tour without guitarist Richie Sambora. He left suddenly on the last tour. In doing so, the feel of the later part of that tour felt a little out of synch/ It felt more like a Jon Bon Jovi show than a full band tour.

Having had time to work with the new band members has made this tour feel like a band tour once again. They were tight and able to mix things up on a dime.

 Long time band members, Tico Torres, David Bryan and Hugh MacDonald are still on hand.

For this tour, Phil X once again has taken the bulk of the guitar parts, with John Shanks taking over for Bobby Bandiera. Everett Bradley is also along this time around adding percussion and backing vocals.

Here is the setlist:
