This is the greatest video for a Bon Jovi fan to have. The entire band delivers an excellent performance. Jon is totally wonderful! The band sings all their hits "Wanted Dead or Alive", "Lay your Hands on me", "Bad Medicine", "Livin on a Prayer", "Blaze of Glory", "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", "Hey God", and many more! The most amazing performances are "Always" and "This Aint A Love Song", if you buy the video for no other reason than those two songs, you will be doing yourself a favor. This is by far the best Bon Jovi performance I have ever seen!

This is the most great concert ive ever seen on video!!Youll never look back, cause it made me cry nearly, ...Its loadsa people there LOADS, and they all know the songs and sing them all, and ritchie does a cool intro to wanted dead or alive, get it!!

I don't know why the other people were talking about the bad quality of this DVD.. Mine is fantastic!!! Maybe it's their dvd player. This is an energy filled 90 minutes of Bon Jovi...as usual giving us their all!!! If you're a true fan, you'll love this dvd along with the Crush DVD!!! Both are wonderful live performances of the band - especially if you don't get to see them live that often!!! I highly recommend it!!!

I have never seen BON JOVI in such good "shape"! I mean, everybody's jamming better than they had in the past 3 years, at least! There are only 2 things partially wrong with it... 1. There aren't too many songs on it, that could have been changed...and 2. What happened to CRAZY, or IN YOUR FACE?! They're not as energetic as usual, as hard as it may seem. But as far as recommendations go, I give it the full 5 *****. BON JOVI RULES!

Bon Jovi is one of the only surviving "hair bands" who have managed to maintain a successful career, both critically and commercially, and "Live from London" shows why. The high energy show displays old favorites like "Livin on a Prayer" and "Lay Your Hands on Me" as well as the overwhelmingly popular ballad "Always," as Jon gives a heartbreaking performance. "Hey God" is one of the best performances given, as well as "Keep the Faith." The band looks confident and seems to be having fun...so will fans. The video montage accompanying "These Days" is a fun glimpse behind the scenes. Overall, a fantastic performance, and a must-have for any Bon Jovi fan.

GREAT PERFORMANCE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM AND SO NICE TO LOOK AT LOVED "ALWAYS"

I cried when i saw Jon singing Livin` on A Prayer in the "Live from London" !! that was the first time I cried becouse of someone I loved. My friends say that the one who make me cry doesn`t worth it. I don`t think so & Jon is a good reason to explain why...
Bon Jovi is one of the best reasons to live. they are so good... so good that you can think that God is sending you reason to.... to everything !!
I just can`t find a reason why not buy it !!

What else is there to say? They're the greatest band on earth. my only reservation is that DVD's are made to hold MORE space, I don't understand why they didn't include so many more songs from this show. "Dry County", "Bed of Roses", "These Days" are all great concert songs and should have been included among many others. I also plead with the company that a DVD of their final Wembley Shows may be produced. Why not?

Picture this. Wembley Stadium, you and your mates have just arrived at the very stadium where England won the world cup in 1966. You are at the front of the crowd, right near the amps. After an anxious waiting period, where you were entertained by the fabulous support groups, the greatest band to ever come out of the united states BON JOVI leap onto the stage and rock the city. This is the experience you get from the video. Live From London is the best live concert from any band (except perhaps the freddie mercury tribute concert), and is a full on experience with all the great songs like Lay Your Hands On Me and Bad Medicine, done with some effects, and a fantastic cover of Status Quo's "Rocking All Over The World". 10/10!!!

I've now gotten my hands on the Crush Tour DVD and this one. Maybe I should have watched this one first, at least that way I would have been pleasantly surprised when I watched the Crush Tour disc. The quality of this disc (audio and video) is [horrible].

That's not to say that the performance was bad. C'mon, this is Bon Jovi for crying out loud. They practically created the arena rock show. The show is [wonderful]. That's a given. I've wanted to get this disc for a while because it has live performances of some of their obsure stuff (This Ain't a Love Song, Hey God). Those rock. The problem lies in the presentation.

The video quality of this disc is terrible. They must have used the same master as for the VHS tape. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they used the VHS tape AS the master. Grainy grainy grainy. At least I get to see what the people in the cheap seats saw. When the shot pulls out, all you see are dots moving around the stage. The quality of video doesn't improve at all during the entire show. Too bad...

The sound is presented in Dolby 2.0. You gots it...Left and Right only. After hearing the Crush Tour disc, you'll be plenty disappointed with this one. Now granted, there are about two years of development separating these discs, but I know there are discs from the same time that used 5.1 or at least Doly Surround.

The Million Dollar Question: Do I suggest that you buy this disc? Answer: Only if you're a hardcore Bon Jovi fan (like myself). Did this disc come out about the time they were switching labels? It reallys seems like Polygram (or whoever) wanted to rush this thing out to make a quick buck. There are no extras on the disc, except a "video" for these days that was spliced from footage of this concert. You can't fault the guys in the band, they held up their end of the deal. They put on a rip-rocking show. Blame the producers for the way this disc falls on its face.
