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 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.
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..
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.
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.
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” .
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
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.
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
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.
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☺
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. :)
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.
@@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.
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!!!!
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.
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. :)
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 🖤
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.
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
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.
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
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😢💜
When you're weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes I'll dry them all I'm on your side Oh, when times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part Oh, when darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind

Bon Jovi is still and ALWAYS be#1 in my eyes forever! Richie sings with soul! 2 of the most talented men still making #1 hits after 30 yrs of being in the music business...shouldn't be questioned. They do it right and they do it VERY GOOD! Bon Jovi FOREVER!
Thank's Bon Jovi, mostly Sambora for your influence me playing guitar. Most talented & productive duo / rock band since '80. That's why they still exist.

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 🎸🎸🎸
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.✌️
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.
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...
This goes to show what us true fans already know... Jon = great.... Richie = great.... Jon and Richie = amazing!
There it is correct

❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful harmonies. Richie, please come back to Bon Jovi in 2024.
Richie's harmonies are flawless! He made this cover.
100%
Their voices sound perfect together. Magic happens between these two ❤️
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. 🤛
Two amazing men, two amazing musicians all the way to 2023, forever
Richie and Jon together are so Perfect!! Their harmonies together are Magical!!
Agreed. Not a lot of people can do high harmonies well, but Ritchie does it perfectly.
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.

Much better than jon!!

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.
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. th-cam.com/video/UyurkgEW0HM/w-d-xo.html
First time ?
Awesome..
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.
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
This highlights how truly good Richy is at vocals. 👍👍👍
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” .
I so wish the rift between these guys never happened, or at least could be healed. The two of them together are magical.

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?
Richie has always had a beautiful voice
It is MAGIC - when Richie and Jon sing together!!!
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

Ritchie has an album out called stranger in this town. He definitely in my opinion sing better than John.
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.

He’s still worth seeing live.
Agreed
Richie was apart of the band. Not all of it ! Bon Jovi is still awesome :3

wow...i am genuinely surprised...richie has a voice that could sing lead in any band...incredible...and overflowing with soul :)
It was this video that made me realise what a great voice he has!
Go and get his albums!
These two men had voices that complemented each other
These two togheter are my favorite thing. Love them both till the end of time.

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! ✌🏼
Richie is the second voice of all time..just listen bed of roses

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all
I'm on your side
Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
