Bon Jovi: Live At Madison Square Garden was filmed in July 2008, at the end of the highly successful Lost Highway World Tour. There were 21 songs in the concert: all the hits were there.

Video: It was filmed in 1080p on a BD-50 disc. The images were very sharp. One can clearly see the pattern of Jon Bon Jovi's tattoos on both shoulders. The skin tone was accurate. The colour of Jon Bon Jovi's red and blue shirts was very vibrant. (4/5)

Audio: The Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround Sound really rocked the house. One can hear the singing very distinctly, separate from the guitar sound and very tight drum beat with great bass. (4.5/5)

As to the concert itself, it was totally enjoyable from beginning to end. Jon Bon Jovi has the charisma to control the audience. To see thousands of hands going up in unison when prompted during Raise Your Hands was a sight to behold. His rock n roll songs were full of energy, with a fantastic guitar support from Richie Sambora, who did magic with his guitar. Tico Torres was simply amazing with the drums. Jon Bon Jovi could sing pretty ballads too, like Always, when his voice simply soared into the air. My favourite versions of Hallelujah were by Alexandra Burke and k.d. lang. But Jon Bon Jovi's live version of this song was full of feelings and very moving. (5/5)

On the song listing, there are four additional songs: Bad Medicine was played when the credits rolled along with no video, while the other three songs You Give Love A Bad Name, Runaway and Bed Of Roses were concert versions found in the bonus.

I normally prefer the studio versions of hits, but in this case, Bon Jovi brought life and energy to his concert, making one truly appreciates his talent. It is a fantastic band. They simply give Rock A Good Name!

Bon Jovi is coming to Toronto on February 14, 2011...what a valentine gift! This disc is highly recommended.

un très bon show , la qualité du son est excellente , si vous êtes un fan de bon jovi , c'est un must !

Extremely rare concert. Bon jovi Live was at his best and the band was obviously enjoying it as well. Check out the songs.Lots of Favorites.

Like being at a real concert with all the extras behind the scenes. Loved every minute of it.

Awesome DVD, loved the included "insider" movie too. The sound is amazing, almost better than being there. Love the clarity, can even see the beads of sweat on his forehead... :)

Amazing video quality, one of the best I've seen! Only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was because it was missing 2 hit songs.
