Bon Jovi set the night on fire!
WHEN I DECIDED TO TRAVEL FROM COSTA RICA TO ATLANTA TO SEE BON JOVI, I EXPECTED TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT I SAW: THE GREATEST ROCK SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. I SAW BON JOVI IN COSTA RICA TEN YEARS AGO DURING THE "KEEP THE FAITH TOUR", AND SINCE THEN I DREAM WITH SEEING THE BAND AGAIN.
THE BAND PERFORMED AT ITS BEST. EVERYTING WAS PERFECT. THE AWESOME STAGE, WITH THREE HUGE SCREENS WITH THE FORM OF THREE HUGE SATELLITE DISHES. THE LIGHTS CREATED THE PERFECT ATMOSPHERE FOR JON TO ABSORB ALL OUR ATTENTION. THE SOUND WAS IMPRESIVE. THE MIXED THE OLDIES WITH THE NEW SONGS PERFECTLY. THE BAND OPENED WITH "BOUNCE", AFTER JON WALKED UNUSUALLY INTO THE STAGE. FROM THAT POINT, UP TO THE CLOSING SONG "BAD MEDICINE (SHOUT), EVERYTHING WAS "MAGIA", ALTHOUGH I WAS EXPECTING THEM TO PLAY "THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME", ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS. WE EXPLODED WITH EVERY LYRIC THEY SANG, SPECIALLY WITH THE OLDIES, LIKE WHEN RICHIE SANG "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU". HE FINALLY SHOWED US WHAT A GREAT SINGER HE IS.
WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY. I GOT BACK TO COSTA RICA THE DAY AFTER THE CONCERT, AFTER MISSING MY LOVED ONES BACK AT HOME FOR FIVE DAYS. BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. I GOT BACK WITH THE SUITCASES FULL OF GIFTS, MY HEAD FULL OF UNFORGETABLE MEMORIES, AND MY HEART FULL OF PURE ROCK AND ROLL.
BON JOVI FOREVER...
