Decent - Could have been much better!

"I bought this at Strawberries Records for $28.00. I bought it mainly for CD 2 of "rarities & B-sides". It contains some great songs but there are 4 songs that are not rare at all. In fact, 3 of these songs are from their biggest selling album so to say they are rare is crazy. "Wild in the Streets", "Diamond Ring", "Let it Rock" and "Raise Your Hands" are all studio versions found on the original releases. Why not put some more live songs for us?! CD 1 is the same as the one released in 1994 except "Prayer 94" is replaced by "In These Arms" and "Never Say Goodbye" is added making 15 tracks. Adding "Never Say Goodbye" makes total sense to me but I miss "Prayer 94", I thought it was a great version. Lastly, the DVD from Wembley seems a bit week, the sound is muddy (on my system anyway) and you have to really turn up the volume. I don't have the original release so I don't know if it's the same. Overall for the price I paid, I think it's good but improving on the above mentioned would have made it great."
A must-have for all loyal Bon Jovi fans

"This CD/DVD combo is a re-release of the original "Crossroads" compilation. Disc #1 is the same, with 2 favorite added tracks: "In these arms" & "Never Say Goodbye". Disc #2 has bonus tracks, some tracks from the Box set & various other hits from Slippery When Wet & These Days. My favorite on disc #2 is "Blood on Blood" LIVE (from the New Jersey record).
The DVD is part of the Live from London concert already released earlier.
Its part of my collection, I've been a fan for over 20 years."
