Bon Jovi have been among the elite touring acts of the world for more than twenty years, and to see them live is one of the top concert experiences in music. So it is with great anticipation that any fan waits for Bon Jovi concert releases. Filmed on August 30th 2000 during Bon Jovis hugely successful comeback in support of their first album for five years, the Crush tour DVD sees them wow 55,000 people in the Letzigrund stadium in Zurich, Switzerland. Bon Jovi know what the fans want as they serve up an almost perfect mix of massive hits, back catalogue classics, and representation of the then new album, Crush. Tick off Livin' on a Prayer, Bad Medicine, Bed of Roses and other hits they are all there and sit comfortably with newer tracks such as Its my Life and One Wild Night etc. And it is a generous helping as well as they rattle through twenty tracks with efficiency which shows them for the old pros they are. If you are a long time fan this will not be the best you have ever seen Bon Jovi perform (Newcomers should be suitably impressed) There is a certain spark that is not quite there like in other shows, although this may be down to the fact the crowd are largely uninspiring; it is a fine performance but lacks the magic Bon Jovi concerts are famed for. It is worth saying it rains through the whole show which maybe dampened the spirit. The DVD as a package on the other hand is very good. This was an early DVD release and there is a decent bonus features, including very good music videos for it's my Life, and Say it isn't So. There is also a 30 minute backstage and interview documentary which is insightful and interesting. To round off the extras is a now out dated discography with track listings. As already stated this was released early in the life of the DVD, but that said the picture quality is outstanding with a real crispness and clarity. All in all this is a very good DVD package and should be more than enough for anyone with even the slightest interest in Bon Jovi.

Ive been a casual Bon Jovi fan for years and as I saw the Crush Tour DVD cheap on eBay I thought it worth watching. It definetly is - a great concert DVD. Bon Jovi do look older in this DVD - obviously everyone gets older but it doesnt stop them putting on a great concert. The DVD quality is great - ideal if you have your DVD player hooked into your amplifier to get the best of the great sound. Recomended for any rock and Bon Jovi fan!
this dvd shows bon jovi at there show stping best,shot in front of a predictably lackluster swiss audience this shows how well jon and the boys can work up a crowed with a mix of ther anthems for the common man and some good old fasioned rock and roll. this is deffinatly one one for the hard core fan but would also go down well with anybody who just fancies good boogie
The Crush Tour is simply Bon Jovi at the best as always. A mixture of well known classics and new songs from the Crush album. A simple stage production with maximum effect. Watching the DVD brought back memories of the day as I was there. I bought the DVD for myself to add to my ever expanding collection of Bon Jovi goodies and I'm never dissatisfied with anything they produce.
