I think this has been floating around YouTube in bits and pieces. Here's the whole thing, this is also included in the iTunes LP.
Here are some pictures too, all of these pictures I believe are from the liner notes of all the Bon Jovi albums:
A Blog about stuff, Bon Jovi news and stuff I stumble across, snark, and more stuff.

Bon Jovi: Richie's Amazon Playlist
Richie put together a playlist and discussed his choices
I love some of his picks. Manhattan was my favorite off of the King of Leon CD and Etta James, Richie is on a CD with her, but my favorite of her's is In the Basement, she was probably all hopped up on Heroin (Wikipedia people lots of great artists used heroin then they went straight and weren't so good, of course this has never helped Justin Timberfake IMO). One things I notice, no Beatles. But you can only buy them on itunes (but amazon is cheaper if you want the full CD).
Anyway on to Richie's picks.

Anyway on to Richie's picks.
"Bell Bottom Blues," Derek & The Dominos: More than anything else, it was my discovery of Eric Clapton that made me want to learn the guitar. It was life-changing. It's quite possible Eric Clapton really is God.
"Scuttle Buttin'," Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble: Phenomenal guitarist, a real master of the blues... but a career and life cut way too short. It's heartbreaking to imagine the music he'd be making if he was still with us.
"All Along the Watchtower," Jimi Hendrix: I remain such a huge fan of Jimi Hendrix. He changed the game for guitar players. Plus, covering a Bob Dylan classic. The playing and the singing is so emotive.
"The World," Brad Paisley: Brad's a massive star in the country world but people who don't think they like country music are missing out on one of the greatest players of a generation. He's a phenomenal guitarist, puts on a really fun live show, and has a real good sense of humor making ingenious videos.
"Glitter In The Air," P!nk: I've love P!nk, whether she's showing the hard or softer version. She's got a killer voice and is great live. The raw emotion of these vocals moves me, and her performance on the Grammy's was pure magic. She's so, so, so the real deal. (Richie performed on one of P!nk's albums M!ssundaztood on the song Misery [Steven Tyler also helps on vocals])
"Purple Rain," Prince: Prince is a genius, period. He can play every instrument -- he's a guitar virtuoso. He mashes us rock 'n' roll, blues, funk, pop, gospel, Motown, and dance music like a mad scientist and invents phenomenal stuff. Purple Rain catapulted him into superstardom but the song holds up and remains a favorite.

"Best of You," Foo Fighters: Again and again and again, Dave Grohl and the band keep churning out great records full of energy and passion. Rock 'n' roll ain't dead at all.
"Manhattan," Kings of Leon: I love that these guys stuck to their own sound until they were a huge success overseas, and then finally snowballed organically into a worldwide phenomenon. Caleb Followill's voice floors me every time.
"I'd Rather Go Blind," Etta James: I've been listening to a ton of Etta James lately. Sometimes you're just in an Etta James kind of mood. Her voice, her timing... this song just captures the emotion and the era.
"I'll Be Your Water," Keb Mo': One man and an acoustic guitar; poignant, simple lyrics about devotion and loyalty. Keb Mo' is the classic singer/songwriter wrapped up in the blues. I dig his stuff a lot.

Bon Jovi: You Tube stuff
It's Tuesday night, and I'm just surfing the net and stumbled across these.
Here's some stuff for you Richie Girls. You know who you are... LOL ('I F**KING LOVE YOU RICHIE' 'Wait which Richie do you speak of?' LMAO)
We can see Richie takes requests better than Jon (I don't think Jon remember's the words poor thing, how many songs has he written).
In Honor of The Surviving Beatles and the Heir's of the Not so surviving ones taking Steve Jobs' testicles to get The Beatles on iTunes here's another Richie video doing the Beatles:
And in Honor of The Promise, Jon & Richie join BRUUUUUUUUCE on stage during one of the shows in New Jersey on the Reunion tour in 1999.

Bon Jovi: Interview from Greece
Jon & Tico. :)
Jon talks a little in the middle about the impact of social media and the music industry and he doesn't use the term Facebook world. I think he knows a little more about technology than he lets on.
Also his comments on fans are interesting, but he'll never let us pick the set list because he would rarely (if ever) play Who Says You Can't Go Home (LOL).
Also comments on their kids and the music industry.
And Jon vacationed in Greece last summer. (where are the board shorts pictures??)

Bon Jovi: A New Live Album?
Or Not really?
While the album is not available in the US it appears (if Amazon doesn't carry it, who will? CD Universe?) But you can buy it through Amazon.co.uk HERE
The fact that this release is not from Island/Universal makes me question the album, although it seems they have lots of Live On Air CD's available with different artists.
