Wanted Wednesday: May 5, 2000

Please rise for the playing of our national anthem.

No frills, no extra stuff, just a good, solid performance.  This particular boot has great sound, and you can't hear the audience at all.

In fact, it's a bit funny; Jon stops to let the audience sing, and you can't hear them.

There's no trade off of verses in this version, but that doesn't diminish it in the least.

A great performance.

Let's Ride!






If you'd like this for your very own, you can snag it from my mediafire.

Jazz Fest

There are several articles and reviews out there, but frankly, most irritate me with a silly semantics error. I know, I know, just read the damned article and move on, but calling Phil X Richie's "replacement" rubs me wrong for some reason. He's a sub. A fill-in. Not a replacement.

That being said, as the band's choice to carry the not insubstantial weight of being in Richie's right-hand position, as well as the underwhelming support from a good portion of the fandom he did very well, and looks like he had a great time.

Sure the sound wasn't quite the same.

Of course the chemistry was different.

But PhilX did a great job, and will only get better the more shows he does with the band. Check it out for yourself. There are a number of videos up on the BJCT blog.

Here's part of what PopEater had to say about the night's performance:

Filling in for Sambora was the extremely proficient Phil "X" Xenidis, who comes complete with his own set of rock star hair and great moves, though his playing excludes Sambora's nuanced, often bluesy touch.

Oddly, during the main show Jon Bon Jovi never addressed the pink elephant in the room -- that his partner-in-crime for many years was not beside him on stage -- other than to coyly say to the audience, "And what's been going on in your life?," several songs in.

For the encore, Jon Bon Jovi smartly trotted out in a New Orleans Saints jersey, screaming "Who dat," before launching into 'Dead or Alive.' As well as Xenidis played, it was one of the times that Sambora's absence was palpable. To close the show, Bon Jovi performed 'Living on a Prayer,' with the lead singer kicking it off with an a capella verse, his voice having only gained momentum as the night progressed. In the only clear acknowledgement that Sambora wasn't present, Jon Bon Jovi said, "I'm sending this out to our brother Richie."

I spoke with a few people who were at the show, and though Richie's absence was notable (according to fans anyway, not necessarily the critics who published articles in the press) the show was good, high-energy, and Phil did an admirable job filling in for our favorite guitarist.
