The documentary shows how on the 1995 These Days Tour, all band members had their partners and children with them on the road.
And from an objective standpoint, the 1995 tour with the families present, resulted in their best live performances.

But it will never be my, preference.

Less than three years apart, but to me the 1995 Tour recordings no longer have that all-in;
Ready-to-give-my-life-for-this GUSTO;
Not the Going to have to carry-me-off-stage-half dead URGENCY;
That were the hallmark, of 1993.

The perfection, and the properness of what is known in fandom as 1995’s
mighty These Days Tour?

Give me 1987’s random messiness, the rants about subjects I know nothing about;
Give me Richie’s birthday show performing “We’re an American Band” with Cinderella on stage.
Give me Jon risking his life flying over the crowd playing “Never Say Goodbye” from the back of the venue;
And give me the piano-driven Bob Seger cover Drift Away, melt me with your singalong sorcery.

And, instead of four episodes of docu series?
Give me that piercing thing of beauty that was Jon’s goodbye speech, wrapping up that gruesomely long New Jersey Syndicate Tour in Guadalajara, Mexico.
