Bon Jovi | Never Say Goodbye | Best Live Version | Jakarta 1995

Details

Description

Of course, one can argue that a pure electric or a pure acoustic rendition might've been more pure and there certainly is a fair amount of contenders from both sides, but in my opinion, this one combined the best of both worlds. Starting out in a slow, mellow, acoustic way with Richie already adding bluesy licks on his electric guitar to the build-up in the solo where the full band joins in and takes the song home, this one is nothing but spectacular.
Unfortunately, there's only a VCD source of this around. At least I was able to find the original old VCD file (and not one of the countless DVD upscales like I had also done at one point) and worked with both AI technique and manual remastering to squeeze more quality out of it. On close-up shots, it looks quite good at times though you can obviously see and hear the restrictions of the compression.

Also make sure to check out the new website dedicated to Bon Jovi Tours that a friend and I are working on:

It's steadily growing and includes a lot of background info and trivia on the albums as well as a lot of setlists (older tours are still under construction, but constantly added).
