I always love it when musicians who normally play harder rock go acoustic and play live at that. That's when you truly see how insanely talented they are. Richie's harmonies are superb. He and Jon's voices mesh perfectly. Thanks for the music guys ❤❤❤
Saw Bon Jovi in concert a couple of years ago. Jon is surely past him prime, the show was still good, but Richie was so missed. It would have been an excellent show if Richie had been there. Oh how he was missed.
Richie 💘is a ghost to the right of Jon now when on stage. I really do feel for Jon cause it is a huge loss and nobody can replace him so Jon all willy nilly just toughing it out on that stage all lonely without his human right arm. The struggle is real💕 2024
I'm a singer myself. I can tell that it is just amazing how Richie sings! His technique and breathing control is amazing.. 100% technique and 300% passion and feeling.. just amazing..
I love Sim9n and Garfunkel. Always have. As a child, I had my own little record player who had a speaker built in. I would get 45's and play their hits over and over. We were poor, so sometimes it took 2 years to get another 45. I'm still poor but i have a loving family and a relationship with God that makes up for all the health and wealth in the world. I'm also handicapped. Anywho! This is the best version I have ever heard of this song. I am sorry. I know a lot of people will get mad. But it's only my opinion. I love the way they orchestrated the song. When I'm down and need to cry it out. I put this on and these 2 doing the peace. Works every single time. Thanks guys.
Lisa Warburton I agree, Jon has the stronger voice. But Richie has a perfect backing vocal. He sounds amazing behind Jon. Much better than when he leads.
Ur right in my book. There's only a couple of songs Jon didn't co-right with Richie. Personally I think if he had his own band he would be as successful as Jon is.
i love Bon Jovi as he gets older he gets better he helps so many people in the US He has soup kitchens for people who have no food an he helps people in so many ways. He gives so much love to others
even the key player David said in an interview that Richie's drug habit was the reason he was gone. he said that Tico the drummer went to rehab ONCE and has been healthy and not had to go back again. love me some awesome talented David
I'm 46 yrs old. grew up with the crew... it took about ten times of listening and watching for it to sink in.... I am Humbled... I needed this, more than you'll ever know.
@@falafellp8465 How damn stupid are you???? Jon never kicked Richie out of the band, there was no fight, no nothing. Richie just decided to not show up one day and that was it. They were 20 concerts into the BWC tour in '13 and luckily Phil X was available to fill in, and he's done a great job ever since. You can do all the research you want, Jon didn't get rid of Richie and Jon has never said a single bad word about him. NOTHING.
Just looking at all the comments about who had the best voice. For me, they both had great voices in their own right. Both different, but that's why they sounded so good together. I don't think you could get those amazing harmonies with two identical voices. Well, just my opinion☺
Great performance by Jon and Richie , Richie has soul , his true talent can be heard in his album “Stranger in this Town” saw him at a small venue after releasing the album and he delivered one of the absolute best concert I’ve ever been too . His voice and guitar playing on that solo album “Perfection” .
Sambora is immensely talented vocally. Jon is very talented vocally. The two together is Herculean, but there is only room for one head. Kind of ironic they chose a Simon and Garfunkel song. Richie’s demons got heavy. But each time I listen to him sing, he taps into my soul. I hope that he is recovering.
Holy crap those were some stunning BVs from Richie there. Jon had a great voice in the day - but Richie was so underrated in my view. Brilliant harmonies and range
Great comment and I agree absolutely. Richie was very underrated. Just my thoughts, but I think Richie finally got tired of all the focus always being on Jon when Richie was playing & singing his heart out every night as well. I sure miss hearing them together though. It was one of those magical combinations that fit so perfectly. I also think that "Rolling Stone Magazine" made a mistake in snubbing Richie on the top 50 guitarists list!! That list is up for debate anyway in the placement of some of our finest.
Man, these two were so great together. I dare say Richie has always been the most talented guy in the band, but of course Jon had that star appeal and the charisma.
I think they sound great TOGETHER & as backups etc. I don't think Ritchie's voice is as strong as Jon's. But, I do wish Ritchie would have been given more opportunities to sing lead over the years. Maybe that's one reason they parted.
Kris Van Kroft I’m listening right now. Never did I realize how powerful this tune is. Fire. Purely fire. My 💜 Happy December 2019! I’m so hoping this is on iTunes or something. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My 79 yr old father sings this all day. Alzheimers has taken some of his memories... but this song is constant. It's how he lived his life..always be there for your friends and loved ones.
They both have gorgeous voices. They're different enough that you can't exactly compare them. They're both great seperately and work beautiful together. :)
In 2016, my best friend and I sat in the evening on my birthday and listened to this song, I thought that life is wonderful and our friendship will be eternal. years passed and I learned that friendship does not exist 🖤
Man Richie is such a great guitarist. I really enjoy listening to these two sing songs like this. It truly shows their depth and diversity. Awesome. Man, Richie got pipes.
I love this song. Richie has such a sweet voice. I have watched this video so many times over the years, I have lost count. I will continue to watch it every time it pops up.
It's not the same since they've gone their separate ways. And the world's missing out on some GREAT music and performances. Let's pray they sort it out and go back to being AWESOME together.
Absolutely, their best acoustic performance ever! I know the MTV UNPLUGGED and the other performances, but this particular evening was pure magic between these two guys. Time flies, now Richie is fighting with his own demons and Jon is heroicly fighting with his voice disorder, but still selling out the stadiums worldwide. Keep my fingers crossed for these guys.
Their performance at the VMAs when they came out and played acoustic was the inspiration for Unplugged. Jon and Richie are The Godfathers of that whole era
what a fantastic version of this song!!! I never knew Richie had pipes like this!!! Great voice!!! and they sound amazing together as someone else has already stated. :)
Back in 89 took my future wife to a Bon Jovi concert in johnstown pa. I left there thinking Richie could be a bigger star than he already was. So underrated in the big scheme of things.
Amazing together, for me Richie always makes Jon better maybe it’s the confidence of him being there with him but they always sound better together, just my opinion
JON!!!! OMG!!!! SOOO BEAUTIFULL AS USUAL YOR MALE TENOR VOICE AND YOR CHOICE OF "STYLE" AS TO HOW TO PAY "TRIBUTE" TO PAUL SIMON & ART GARFUNKLE!!!! THANK YU SOOO MUCH!!!! LOV YU!!!! ME IN ANCH AK!!!!
Pure Magic, I guess it must not have been easy for Richie to live all those years behind Jon, with all his talent. What a pity they couldnt fix their differences😢💜

isnt that what usually happens when they get older? 😂
@jeffreynegapatan Maybe, but they were younger here. Just trying to mix it up a bit, show their talent in a different way 🎸🎸🎸
Paul Simon should be proud of how well they covered this song
based comment
Absolutely
Jon and richie's voice is just epic together
Sambora was so perfect in the Jovi group. Sucks he’s gone.
Agree him and Jon complemented each other well..
as good as richie is at everything, phil x is awesome too.
If they only crossed that bridge over the troubled water.✌️
This goes to show what us true fans already know... Jon = great.... Richie = great.... Jon and Richie = amazing!
There it is correct
Špičkoví dokonalí ,spolu .i teď poslouchám je zvlášť ale spolu byli Wau
Richie's harmonies are flawless! He made this cover.
100%
It took me years to realize I loved Bon Jovi songs due to Richie's voice and singing. Now he left I am stuck to the old albums...
Shame
So do I. For me Bon Jovi finished in 2013
you do know he has done solo albums yeah. Stranger in this town. look them up, you will love them.
@@lynnpepper2039 I have all of them...
Beautiful harmonies. Richie, please come back to Bon Jovi in 2024.

@@parisjok5311 Get over it, Bon Jovi still make amazingly good music, No one is irreplaceable
@@parisjok5311 Jon is just fine without Richie
❤️❤️❤️
If the world was the band Bon Jovi, be a Richie Sambora.
Love this! Being satisfied with a supportive role making something better than either alone.

Agreed
Yes, just like BJV himself!! The two, exemplified here, were one n so soul n Heartful:)). ❤️💛🧡💜s to them Both!
@@kirstenames5233 with you God made both way they are love them
So true
I could listen to Richie and Jon play and sing all day long. Amazing.
That's for sure
Agreed Jon & Richie sat singing with 2 acoustic guitars amazing nothing like it
same here mate... (:
I could listen over and over to them both. The chemistry. Beautiful.
❣️
Richie to Jon is like Peanut Butter to jelly...each great voices individually; together it is the best harmony I have ever heard.
I hate peanut butter
@@michellemckillop5712 you may hate peanut butter but it still goes with jelly.
I’d rather eat a peanut butter and tuna fish sandwich than listen to Jon Bon Jovi sing.
They are excellent singers, especially together. 🤛
Their voices sound perfect together. Magic happens between these two ❤️

Touching story, trust that ur doing well. Yes taste differs... it's ok not not to be a Bon Jovi fan. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Two amazing men, two amazing musicians all the way to 2023, forever
ok, Richie was the soul of Bon Jovi. They have never been the same without him. Its like watching a cover band now.
True !
Well, I liked him too. But, things happen. Jovi and band is still great!!!
He’s still worth seeing live.
Agreed
Richie was apart of the band. Not all of it ! Bon Jovi is still awesome :3
Richie's really showing just how well he can sing.
Richie has a great and Strong voice. Nowadays he would help Jon a lot.....
Sol Keep the Faith ~Truth!
Much better than jon!!
@Lisa Warburton :) lol

Jon and Richie forever!

Dude, I’ve never heard sambora sing lead before today. Wow!
well this is July 2024 and he has put out three albums of his own
We miss Richie, never been the same without him.
First time I ever heard Richie Sambora sing 😮 oh my God 😊😊❤❤❤❤
watch Richie solo tru this song...his vocals are AMAZING. ua-cam.com/video/UyurkgEW0HM/v-deo.html
First time ?
Awesome..
I so wish the rift between these guys never happened, or at least could be healed. The two of them together are magical.
even the key player David said in an interview that Richie's drug habit was the reason he was gone. he said that Tico the drummer went to rehab ONCE and has been healthy and not had to go back again. love me some awesome talented David
I'm 46 yrs old. grew up with the crew...
it took about ten times of listening and watching for it to sink in....
I am Humbled...
I needed this, more than you'll ever know.
Richie is Bon Jovi, Bon Jovi is Richie . . . . they should be together once again and continue performing together.
Carlos Almelor it will happen.. someday will be the day when Jon will decide to ask Richie to come back for at least one song or concert.
Omg I would kill to see them back together. Please god.
Absolute!
It's not about who is the better musican - because:
Together is best anyway!
Each of them is incomplete without the other one.
Carlos Almelor I agree, I don’t go if Richie isn’t on tour

WHO in their right mind would give a thumbs down to this most amazing version of a classic...THIS was a goosebump moment....just beautiful
It was Phil X lol
The guitar tones are grating. Pure awful. I would've thought that players of this caliber would care how their music actually sounds.
The idiots?
It's an honor to have lived while such gifted men were living umongst me. I love S&G, but I think this is the best version of that song ever done.
Petition for Jon and Richie to do this song together again.

Best vocal duo ever in history of the mankind!
Thank God these 2 found each other and made the music they did.

Who is listening to this during the pandemic 2020?
I listen to it every couple of days
I. 😊🤘

Richie has a gorgeous voice
Richie has always had a beautiful voice
They need to start singing together again, pls
Very true.
Jons got so much style and class, but Richie is all soul.

If you think that you haven't watched Jon sing anything else.

3:00 richie. Unreal a FRONT mans voice..but hero wing man..we miss u Richie! Bon jovi.. legendary forever ❤❤-jackie

Yea he's better than Jon in my opinion, great solo albums too ...

Way better than Jon's. It's like comparing Pele to a Sunday leaguer.
Yes! He is an incredible artist on his own... with or without Jon and the gang. Peace and love to you always, Richie! ✌🏼
