after several years of being casually on and off, New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi came together for the 2000 Crush Tour. Filmed live on this tour, "The Crush Tour" video features a raucous, energetic performance of several of the band's greatest hits, plus a couple that lead singer Jon Bon Jovi released during a successful solo career.

"Bed of Roses," without a doubt my favorite of all Bon Jovi songs is a classic love song, and the new "Always" is beautiful. I could have done without "Lay your hands on me" and "In out of love," but the other hits are good enough to overlook those two. "Someday I'll be Saturday Night" is wonderful as well, and while not as toe-tapping as the original, "Prayer '94" doesn't disappoint either. All in all, a must have for true fans of Bon Jovi.
