Great Songs & Background Info by the Band
Review created: 06/01/06(updated 06/19/06)

I just recently came across this set and, being a devoted Bon Jovi fan, thought I'd like to hear the songs that didn't make the published recordings. They are so great! Many are familiar songs that actually started very differently from the published songs. Many are wonderful songs that the group just didn't feel fit the demographic of a given album. There are 4 great CD's, and I think the gem of the set is the DVD with Jon's interview in which he talks about the group's survival over the years, the band members all reminiscing about the various songs on the albums and the stories behind them, actual tour footage covering the whole world and the whole Bon Jovi phenomenon including backstage with the band. It's a great look inside this fantastic band and their music. There is just something very "real" about these guys - they love what they do and it shows. This set is their tribute to the fans who allow them to continue to work at what they love. There is also an excellent booklet included with pictures, notes from the band members, and the background stories behind the songs.
