Simply Superb
WOW! What an amazing gig. I've seen Bon Jovi three times now and that was by far the best of the three. The Band opened the show with One Wild Night, immediately filling the audience with huge amounts of energy not felt through the dreary support acts. The band continued with the party feel by breaking into crowd pleasers Raise Your Hands and Bad Name.
There were plenty of memorible moments through the concert such as Jon calling up a lady in red to dance with during Bed Of Roses and some maniac on the big screen in a superman t shirt. They could probably have done without playing I Got The Girl and Say It Isn't So as these were the only two not so good performances, perhaps they could have played These Days and Blood On Blood instead, but the show was so great that this doesn't really matter.
The band finished in the best possible way they can. They played Livin' On A Prayer, which hasn't been used as the closing song on this tour, so you can imagine the crowds reaction when it kicked off. I couldn't see one person who wasn't dancing, (well, maybe there was a guy on crutches).
All in all 10 out of 10. With the best performances I've seen of Faith, Lay Your Hands On Me and Prayer, this is one tour no one should miss. Thanks guys for the wildest night of my life.
