21 February 2003 - Montreal, Quebec, Canada Concert Review |
|
Take my breath away....
The boys were back in Montreal last night and they proved that even after 20 years of playing, they are the greatest American band alive.
The first 4 songs of the show were difficult to hear(Where I was seating) because everybody was singning and screaming so loud that we couldn't ever hear Richie's Guitar on PRAYER and BAD NAME, but that doesn't matter because the energy and the Bon Jovi spirit was all over the place.
UNDIVIDED had a smooth introduction that led us to a dramatic interpretation (with a short 9-11 movie in Background )
Then RUNAWAY kicked in, surprisely, this song became one of the most powerfull anthem of the night.
As usally, Jon let us sang WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE... a few songs before Richie's outstanding interpretation of I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU.
The first encore was the high point of the night, IN THESE ARMS (best song on Keep the Faith) and DAMNED (my favorite from these days) were probably the THRILLEST songs of the night and opened the door for BAD MEDECINE.
The beatles' medley closed the night, the crowd still wanted one more song (probably Always or Bed of Roses) but the guys already gave us an amazing show... Lightning was breathtaking :lasers, strobe lights, giant scoops, movie projection... god I thought these only existed at Pink Floyd's concerts.
Thank you guys for one of the greatest night of my life,can't wait to see you in July...
