| 28 June 2003 - London, UK Concert Review |
|
92,000 people, 3 hours, 27 tracks, 4 fellas from new jersey, it does NOT get any better than this!
11am-sit down and wait
1pm-stand up, wait and get sunburnt
4pm-gates, sit down, stand up wait, sunburnt, feet ache
6pm-LIVE! good but i'm still waiting, i'm still burning, i'm still acheing and i'm wondering if this is really gonna be worth it
645pm- surge....wait, burn, chant, ache, but wait what's that? a buzz
It's Tico Torres!!!
720pm-BOUNCE, ROCK, SCREAM, SHOUT, SING, CLAP, the pain has gone, im not burning anymore and this is is just plain f-ing awesome.
I've never been to gig before, but i like bon jovi so 6 months ago i fort what the hell, told some mates we were going to hyde park in june for a day out. What I didn't tell them was that there would be another 92,000 people and the greatest live band in the world FULL STOP!
I've read reviews of other concerts, ive seen the setlists, ive go the live album, ive seen the crush tour on dvd but i'm telling you that nothing can come close to preparing me for whatI/we experienced together last nite.
