Bon Jovi - Live Living on a Prayer 1986 The Tube 

They really should your a super fan 😀

@@FaZe-StyL TRUEEEE!!!!!!!!!!1

I'm not gonna disagree, but Jon sang off key quite a bit in the 80's, even on the albums. He sings a lot more on key today than he ever has, even if his voice is deeper. But, to your point, I wasn't born until the 90's and they are my all time favorite band, I'd love a full DVD of an 80's concert, just for the experience of seeing it

@@trashdoc16 He most definitely does not sing more in key these days. It's very, very sad, actually.

Couldnt agree more!

+Nilam HS have you noticed that bon jovi uses the same mic stand for everything

Minesizegaming Yes I've noticed but last time in Jakarta I didn't see he used that but wasn't so sure either I might've seen it wrong

It's like he has a bond with that mic stand

Nilam HS Dave's voice is deep. but ticos is deeper

All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ! What he mean is that most of new live videos are not on the original note.

First it was You give love a bad name then this ^_^

@@cyrinalitten8593 i think runaway was before all

This song cemented their Legacy. Credits to their 1st hits but this song is the most recognizable when you hear the name Bon Jovi.

Also the song that killed Jon Bon Jovi’s voice

@@giveup6309 agree

He didn't even try to touch the last two times. It was all David

He let the audience sing the highest key ...

@@rafaelgutierrezparis1441 Yes, after the key change at the end. However there is a bootleg I found during the past 16 years where he actually nails the whole song, and even a half-tone higher.

@@eyeamserious7900 Last two times after the key change?

So true

Italian ancestry they have a great singing history..

He avoided singing the last chorus 🤦‍♂️

@@mitsurikanroji9548 He was not a fan of the song's key change, believing it made him sound feminine.

Na verdade ele matou a própria voz 😅

what your favorite album?

I do not believe Bon Jovi will ever tour again. The Hulu documentary painted unlikely possibility.

Acting and smiling, in reality it’s actually straining his voice hard. It’s just how he shouts the “oh” and “Woah-oh” part, very heavy and chesty and belting it out. He was into being an entertainer and that’s what makes his live stuff from the early day so hype and fun but because he was an entertainer and not focusing on his vocal health due to his rough vocal techniques, his voice quality went down through the first couple of years resulting in him not being able to do the full livin on a prayer chorus after 1987-1988.

He couldn’t do it prior to that either. He only hit it in the studio with crazy reverb, multiple tracks & the ability to have as many takes as you want to sing it. Doesn’t take away from his talent cause it’s a bitch to sing for any male after puberty lol! It’s true though..

@@thetruth72667 your saying he couldn't do it, but by god he is hitting LIVE here!

@@Silver_Cowboy Tryin to sing it & singing it are not the same thing! He is tremendously out of tune & does not even attempt to sing "living on a....." In the last chorus here. So like I said, he could not sing it. That's why they changed how they played it.

@@thetruth72667 you"re wrong

Checa el 3:23, creo que sí es playback en algunas ocasiones

@AgusDoymer _ en el estudio estás relajado, tenés descanso, escuchar y volver a corregir algo que quieras potenciar y demás, cantar en vivo sale como sale en el momento que se está viviendo

Hay algunos vídeos donde la canta el problema es que de tantos conciertos que dió se fue desgastando su voz pero era increíble

@@antoniomares5732 a lot in 1993 too

Did he tho? You don’t see him sing the high part the first time it comes on the key change and the following times he’s clearly not singing it.

@@Dadaadad268 he did, you can hear it clear here that he did, theres 0 playback here, he didnt sing the key change tho.

@@nick-pc8md agreed there’s no playback. The ‘high’ part referred to I assumed was the key change as this has the highest notes - ‘woah .. living on a prayer’.. which Jon isn’t singing. Someone is tho and it’s pretty awesome. Maybe it’s the keyboard player. I know Richie sings the high harmonies but you can see he’s not singing this part either.

Mage Monstre I know the high notes are hard to hit there not painful for its just that it's impossible to hit the high notes for me because I screamed so loud I damaged my voice.

I think the Woah~ parts are the duet by Jon and David Bryan not just by Jon

@STYLE 69 wow you're such a big shot

They are easy for me

Mage Monstre they are actually not painful if you hit them the right way.

i’ll bring back hairmetal/hard rock bro)

You're joking, right? This was nowhere near the studio version.

@@stunningcactus978 Fr. This is legit one of the three RU-vid videos where you can see and hear him clearly singing the song without backing tracks, playback... His voice sounds "boyish" , really fresh and young here. If you look up videos from 1987, you can clearly hear the change and maturity in his voice cus of the steroids. To confess, I love this band, this isn't any hate orientated comment, just facts. JBJ was a really bad live singer, a great artist and frontmen, put on a show for you, that's for sure, but vocal technique wise, really bad and untrained.

@@nosmoking9681 He sounds completely different from 92 onwards

@@caleb_sousa absolutely.

I'm too!

All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ! Really?????

Unfortunately that won't happen with Alec now. :(

@@jillb5353yeah he’s dead

I did, awesome buddy!

He doesn’t sing any of the high notes in the key change. Is this really the best there is?

+TheCritic Axl rose voice has changed too far... that's too bad

+TheCritic axl rose is back now !

@@2000daffa he can still sing well but he won't lol

Axl still has good years 06,2010,2016 Bon Jovi has been ass since 2009

@@bigtommy9715 after 2013 his voice its not pretty great anymore but I don't care about that

Butter Boy Alec sings in chorus of Runaway and him sings High Notes too!

Alec and David have similar and normal timbres to make some confusions why the two normally sing together but there is a sacrifice someone will have to do something simpler in their instruments to be able to sing in high notes and well tuned and without trampling other voices of the band That's why Alec has always varied his bass lines. Richie also notes a bit more serious about the two but higher than Jon. And now this year when I watched a show of the current bon jovi I missed the voices of Alec and Richie even more than in 2016 I watched a Sambora show and it was spectacular! And both of them are missing out on the band in terms of backing vocals and charisma with the audience.

Jon sings the key change in Hannover and Bradford 86

I have a friend named Tommy. I wanna take him to a Bon Jovi concert and introduce him to JBJ

Paul Stanley could nail that in his sleep.

@@coldacre Paul Stanley is a decent singer tbf.

@@coldacre Paul is talented in his own way but no way could he sing this. JBJ could never sing the studio version either

Yep, must of been reason he got to sound track for young guns movies

Yeah! he's sing less! more bass!

bradford too

Hannover sounds the closest to the the record version

And the only one he sings all of it

mainlymusicman he did but only in The beginning of the slippery tour.He did it in Dortmund in 1986 and I cant remember The other ones but I heard a few until his voice was damaged.And I quess he did it in 1993 once ,not The whole chorus though but It showed he was still able to hit that note.

He did it multiple times in the European tour of 1986, in Bradford, Dortmund ,Stockholm ,those are off the top of my head. In 1993, he only sung the regular choruses before the key change, and there is one performance in 1995, where he sings one of the screams after the key change

@@zhelyazkopetkov8211 Osaka 1995 he tried but failed i guess.

@@stoker7253 he hit the note though

Listen city hall, 1986

Renato Miranda but it maked them the band we love

Renato Miranda a song that rock the world

...Totally worth it!

IT SOUNDS GOOD WHO CARES LOL

Sadly it is.

A 12 years old comment. Man now his condition is even worst

+Jon and Richie together again David (: That's the pitch Jon hit in the studios.

Old Souled Hippie So…to the conclusion, David is the highest note in bon jovi lol

Jon and Richie together again In performances, yes.

Actually Alec was the highest of them.

David is singing alone

+sanya aynas It is SO hard singing in this key all the time. To preserve voices like Jon's (which is a very unique voice), they usually tune down because it hurts singing that high. He can't hit the high notes anymore because of aging, cigarettes, and the 90s.

U mean C5

lol

+mitch Ketcham oh thanks :)

+mitch Ketcham thats untrue. gina was Desmond Child's relative who worked in a place called Once Upon A Stove. and he invented Tommy but at first they were Johnny and Gina. then jon bon jovi changed the name Johnny to Tommy because his own name was Johnny (jon). Thats how Tommy and Gina were created.
