Product Description
Island Bon Jovi The Crush Tour - DVD
After several years of being casually on and off, New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi came together for the 2000 Crush Tour.Filmed live on this tour, THE CRUSH TOUR video features a raucous, energetic performance of severalof the band's greatest hits, plus a couple that lead singer Jon Bon Jovi released during a successful solo career. Songs performed include the rock ballad "Wanted Dead or Alive," "Bad Medicine," "Born To Be My Baby," and a very special ballad version of the hit that propelled them into fame, "Runaway."

Pull out your Bics and get ready to flick. If ever there was a band made for massive rock shows, Bon Jovi is the one--and this is the video to prove it. So the veteran band lacks the sheer charisma of fellow Jerseyite Bruce Springsteen, or certain other distinctive qualities--U2's impassioned social conscience, say, or REM's self-conscious weirdness--of others who made it big in the '80s. Bon Jovi is, by objective definition, a journeyman band. But that's not a bad thing. They specialize in the kind of hook-heavy, unpretentious anthems ideally suited for stadium crowds, and that's exactly what they deliver to the 50,000 fans packed into a Zurich, Switzerland, venue on their 2000 European tour, who pump their fists, wave their arms, and sing along from beginning to end, undeterred by the steady rain that falls throughout the show. It's a safe bet that no one who was there went home disappointed, and neither will the Bon Jovi fans who pick up this great-sounding, well-directed DVD. Singer Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Richie Sambora, and company hit the ground running, opening with two of their catchiest hits, "Livin' on a Prayer" and "You Give Love a Bad Name," before rolling through seven tunes from 2000's Crush, their first album in five years, and a host of other Bon Jovi ballads and rockers. And if the 20 songs from the two-hour concert all start to sound the same after a while, you can always switch to the host of DVD bonus features, including a 30-minute "on tour" documentary, a photo gallery, a complete discography (including solo albums), and two song videos. A splendid time is guaranteed for all, more or less. --Sam Graham

 The Ultimate Bar Band June 14, 2009
Bryan A. Pfleeger (Metairie, Louisiana United States)
Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan perhaps said it best Bon Jovi is the ultimate bar band. No special effects, no computer generated sounds just rock and roll. In late August 2000, Bon Jovi took his Crush Tour to a sold out stadium in Zurich, Switzerland and on that rainy night he did what he does best he made pure American rock.
The show features what appears to be a slightly edited version of the concert played that night and it runs just over two hours. The band works its way through twenty songs (featuring seven from the Crush album) with plenty of energy and emotion to spare. This isn't a night for the mellow, it's a night of rock and roll power anthems. There is plenty of arm waving and singing along and it is a fun way to spend the night. It hardly matters that many of the songs sound the same.
The standard definition disc does a nice job with the visual quality but the 5.1 sound comes across as a little thin at times but this is hardly a problem. The disc features two videoes from Crush, an interesting and well made "On Tour" documentary, a slide show type photo gallery, and an up to 2000 current discography.
Well worth it.

When did he try so hard? December 7, 2008
Bruce D. Farmer (Arizona USA)
Over all this had the best rating so that is why I picked it up. After watching the first few songs, I thought when did he try to sing and hold notes so much in his music. I assume it was because he knew he was going to be putting this out for DVD and wanted to show off. Maybe the mixer just had his voice more prominent. Either way, looks like he puts on a great show, but I guess I was just expecting more possibly. Over all it has the songs you want and good concert footage in Europe.
By far the best... December 1, 2008
babs (Dacula, GA USA)
Bon Jovi's "The Crush Tour" DVD is by far in my opinion the best of all the "Live" performances. Trust me when I say that because I have all his DVD's an CD's! A little obsessed? Yes! Do I act like teenage groupie at 30 years old? Yes! This DVD show's you our favorite rock star at his sweaty and determined greatest! I especially love the part where he pulls a VIP member from sidestage and dances with her! I wonder if she knows she envied all around the world! So to the point...this would be a wonderful video to add to any collection for the newbie fan's and oldie fan's as well! I hope this helps!
