ORONTO -- Talk about making a memory.

Bon Jovi triumphantly kicked off a three-night-stand at the Air Canada Centre last night that continues tomorrow night before wrapping up with a record-setting fifth night at the hockey hangar on Thursday, as the veteran New Jersey rockers played two earlier shows from their so-called Lost Highway tour at the ACC in early December.

And apparently they want to make that fifth and final night special, randomly giving away prizes to concertgoers ranging from a trip for two to see the band in London, England to a jersey signed by all of the members.

Just to keep things interesting, Bon Jovi -- who are actually breaking their own earlier four-night record at the ACC that tied with U2, the Spice Girls and The Police -- returned to Canada with a new multi-million-dollar stage that featured four state-of-the-art flat screen video screens that dropped down from above and later fanned out like venetian blinds during Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen From Mars.

The group opened with the rollicking title track from their latest, country-tinged album Lost Highway, fleshed out by the presence of a female fiddler, before delving into the first '80s-era crowdpleaser of the night, You Give Love a Bad Name, that spawned an audience singalong.
