I love the acoustic versions of Bon Jovi and "Livin On a prayer" is without a doubt my favorite. I even like this version better than the original version!
Jerry, Richie left because he wanted to spend more time with his daughter and battle his drinking problems. He loved being in the Band, but he also deserves to have time for his daughter
Agree. The band lost a lot with Richie's departure, who in addition to being a great musician was also Jon's partner in songwriting and also a great singer who made a difference alongside Jon on stage, as we can see in this video. Phil X is also a great musician and singer, but Richie's departure, plus Jon's impressive drop in quality and vocal range, make Bon Jovi a poor cover of itself today.
Once upon a time not so long ago Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough Gina works the diner all day working for her man She brings home her pay, for love, for love She says, we've got to hold on to what we've got It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not We've got each other and that's a lot for love We'll give it a shot Woah, we're half way there Woah, livin' on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it I swear Woah, livin' on a prayer Tommy's got his six-string in hock Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk So tough, it's tough Gina dreams of running away When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers Baby, it's okay, someday We've got to hold on to what we've got It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not We've got each other and that's a lot for love We'll give it a shot Woah, we're half way there Woah, livin' on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it I swear Woah, livin' on a prayer Livin' on a prayer Oh, we've got to hold on, ready or not You live for the fight when it's all that you've got Woah, we're half way there Woah, livin' on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it I swear Woah, livin' on a prayer Woah, we're half way there Woah, livin' on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it I swear Woah, livin' on a prayer Woah, we're half way there Woah, livin' on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it I swear Woah, livin' on a prayer
Vraiment très très parfait. Vous restez le meilleur groupe de tout les temps. Un grand MERCI et un grand BRAVO à vous tous, vous êtes vraiment génials les gars. Frech kiss. Y Love You Jon mon amour platonique 💟❤️💟❤️💟❤️💟
O Richit Sambora e foda virtuoso como n violão como n guitarra e nesse tempo o Jon Bon Jovi estava cantando perfeito super bem os dois juntos pela dupla
First time I've heard Bon Jovi's second best song of all time sung in an acoustic version on the radio this morning. I actually like it better than the original. It has been playing in my head all day....cracker of a performance.
ha. first time i was able to listen to listen to this song because i couldn't hear through the noise of the era. read the lyrics, and landed here - old folkie
Eu em 2022 com 31 anos ouvindo essa musica cresci ouvindo bon jove musica de verdade e assim não não tem epoca e pra sempre toda vez que agente ouve corre aquela emoção rsrsr
Maravillosa y única voz la de Jon Bon Jovi. Si ya se combina con Richie, es la perfecta combinación de dos voces que casan a la perfección. Preciosa versión de una canción ya mítica.

June 2024 who is with me Brothers and sisters. We need this cause it’s touuuuughhh
Jon and Richie singing together like this almost makes me cry
Sambora's voice 😵😱😍😍😍
amazing!
Uma voz sensacional !!
Bon jovi acoustic guitars 🎸 ✨️ ❤️
He's 50% of whole band.. 🎤👌🏼
I love the acoustic versions of Bon Jovi and "Livin On a prayer" is without a doubt my favorite. I even like this version better than the original version!
Same
Me too!! I love❤❤❤ this song!!!
Studio version has that "electric" feeling.. 😎🙏🏼
@@Chris-Weaver Yes, I like the studio version too! However, the acoustics, in addition to the lower tone, the arrangement is more to my liking!
@@ricosoares9718 i got your drift! Another thing is that i always confused _arrangement_ with.. _orchestration!_ 😅🎶
I would like to see Richie in Bon Jovi again. His Voice is so Magic, mixed with Jon's Voice is perfect..
Jerry, Richie left because he wanted to spend more time with his daughter and battle his drinking problems. He loved being in the Band, but he also deserves to have time for his daughter
@@captainobvious8802 Family First....Always 💪
It wont happen...we’ll have to live on a prayer..:) 😉🙏
@@captainobvious8802 Want ok
I actually prefer Richie's voice over Jon's.
The way Richie's voice complemented Jon's was theee perfect combo.. such good memories! :)
I know right? Jon and Richie harmonies are something we aspire to ❤️
Oh how I miss this. These two had such great harmony that will never be replaced. Blood on blood.💜✌
wish all music was as good as this, never get bored of this
The Wolfman
Richie is a legend
I Love Richie Sambora💙💙💙💙!
22 anos depois e eu aqui.
Musica boa tem nome...
This version is fantastic. Congratulations to the boys from New Jersey on their upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction in a couple of weeks.
no. they are from Atlanta Georgia!
Absolutely love this performance. The guys we're just incredibly magic in this era
Amazing!! Richie
John maybe the face of the band but none of the songs would have that impact without Richie
Agreed! We are massive Richie fans 👍

Richie is just amazing.
It was written as a ballad :) it's my all-time fav version of this song. Acoustic and live. I've watched many different ones and love them all
I am with you on this one
Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora have fantastic harmonies, sort of like Simon and Garfunkel. It's unmistakeable.
Thumbs up for Richie!
My favourite version of this tune by far
I love the connection Jon&Richie had as musicians great performance of Living on a prayer
Richie.. flawless vocalist..outstanding harmony!
Both Jon and Richie in their prime sounding perfect. Such an amazing duo and partnership. Would love to see them perform together again. ❤️🤘🏻
Perfeita❤❤❤
Show de bola ...umas das minhas melhores canções q gosto de escutar...❤...lembranças maravilhosas. ...alegria e felicidade...tempo bom...
Ficou linda a música nessa versão acústica, perfeita!!! Um hino mesmo 🎶 🎶
Adoro as versões acústicas do Bon Jovi e Livin'on a prayer é sem dúvidas a minha preferida....até mais que a versão original!
Como não amar Bon Jovi ??????
Once upon a time not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day working for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, for love
She says, we've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six-string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk
So tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
Baby, it's okay, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Oh, we've got to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer

Love this song
Never knew Jon was offered the lead role in footloose!
+Liam Hodgins He wasn't. Later that year he confirmed in a British TV show that this had always been a false rumour.
+hAnD90 ahh... thanks for clearing that up.
Very good! 2024 Brazil from Rio de Janeiro!
Pure art… love From Amsterdam
내가 Bon Jovi 와 진정한 사랑에 빠진 순간..
