A review by Lisa / OBJLisaM@aol.com

I've been searching the net for any pictures or press about Sunday's show in Dublin and came across the Dry County show review page. I still can't believe what happened! It is like a dream! Aside from the most amazing concert of Bon Jovi that I have ever attended, the icing on the cake was being cued by Jon to get up on the stage during Bed of Roses, and then... the kiss! Yes, I nearly died! I'm not sure I have completely recovered... make that, I don't think I will EVER completely recover!

I feel very blessed to have been at the show in Ireland all the way from New Jersey! I brought a banner with me that read "New Jersey Girl Here for One Wild '?'" and around the "?" was the words TRIP, SHOW, BAND, NIGHT. After being on his knees facing the stage pit right in front of me and Louise, holding her hand and serenading her, then taking my hand and serenading me, letting go, then walking towards Hugh, then signaling me to get up on stage and dance with him... I couldn't believe it! I am still waaaaaaay above Cloud 9! While we were dancing he asked me about my trip and if I was having a good time (Hello!) and I said "I'm having an AMAZING time"! Even better than the dance - the kiss! I will never forget it!!!

To the fans from Ireland, thank you for your lovely words after the show! So many people came up to me afterwards and said such nice things and were so happy for me - you all rock! I am looking forward to seeing the pictures (hint, hint if you had a camera there and took pix during Bed of Roses! LOL).

I haven't slept now in over 24 hours - I got up around 9AM yesterday, and it is now almost 7:45AM and I am not even near tired. I spent most of the flight to NY with Bed of Roses playing over and over in my mind about a billion times and reliving the moment in my memory. Hoping that I will never suffer senility!

Thanks to Jon for making my Ireland adventure one that will never be forgotten!
