You might argue: "It’s Bon Jovi, not Mahler. Why do I need 24-bit?"

The answer lies in the louder vs. better fallacy. Most live rock recordings are dynamically compressed (squashed) to sound loud on car radios. A 24-bit/48kHz FLAC allows you to expand the dynamic range. Listen closely to the 2000 Crush Tour recording:
