4 June 2008 - Vienna, Austria Concert Review 3 July 2008
Lost Highway to Austria

A review by Dušan (from Slovakia) / tzatzi@gmail.com


Hi everybody ! Let me tell you ybout the best day of my life (Bj Concert in Austria). First thing, that I'll say is : SORY, BUT MY ENGLISH ISN'T VERY GOOD !

So in a second half of March , my mate Peter and I decided to go to Bj concert in Ebreichsdorf . I told my parents about it and they agreed . On 24th of March we bouth our tickets and all that was left was WAITING for a day D. Two weeks before concerts two daddy's friends decided to go with us, so we bought ticket for them .. That two weeks time was going by sooo slowly !!! But finally day D has come ! YEAAH ! We got in our car at 7:00 AM a left our town . at 14:00 PM we got to Bratislava, we had lunch and waited for daddy's friend . Finally she came and we got in our car again and at 16:30 we reached Ebreichsdorf .. FINALLY !!! the traffic organization was horrible . It took about 45 minutes to find good place for parking. Well finally we parked and went to the stadium gates . My parents weren't very happy, 'cause it was raining, but it didn't bother me and peter . Finally we got to the stadium and we started to run trought that wet grass as near to stage as possible. We found very good place about 30 meters away from stage on the right side . Later , first supporting band appeared on stage.. That was horrible (E-guitar, Bass guitar and Trumpets with accordion ). When they finnished, it was time for another support band called SUNRISE AVENUE (I bet you all know them!) .. They were really great ! at 20:50 PM helicopter brought BJ to stadium and soon they appeared on stage and opened the whole show with LOST HIGHWAY , BORN TO BE MY BABY and BAD NAME .. All three songs was great and they played it much much better than in studio version . After BAD NAME it was time for a great song from HAND album called COMPLICATED .. That was sooooo amazing ! Then they played I'll Sleep When I'm Dead with two great medleys : GLORY DAYS and MERCY with perfect Richie's and David's backing vocals .. Next song was cover song called ROCKIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD, another one was classic cowboy song from Jon's 1st solo album BLAZE OF GLORY (the song has the same name) and then it was time for 4th track of the LOST HIGHWAY album called WHOLE LOT OF LEAVIN'. Later they played beautiful song from Keep The Faith Album called IN THESE ARMS and later it was time for two rarities GARAGELAND and I GOT THE GIRL . One of the best parts of the show ! Well the next two songs were talk-box bombs WE GOT IT GOING ON and IT'S MY LIFE . After last tones of IML the bass intro for KEEP THE FAITH and the rest of the song were "flying" trough whole stadium. This song brought amazing atmosphere to everyone .. After KTF , the best part of the whole show came ! RICHIE SANG I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU ! I always wanted to hear Richie sing, 'cause he's my favourite member of the band and my dream came true on 4th of July 08 ! Later Jon came back to stage and BJ played HAND song WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T GO HOME with perfect "all right..". Next song was called HAVE A NICE DAY .. for me it was the best performance of this song . Next they played BAD MEDICINE + mega medley cover SHOUT , then LIVIN' ON A PRAYER and the disappeared for a while .. It was time for some encores . FIrst one was ANY OTHER DAY with solo of each member (Richie's was the best.. as usually). And the last song was Slippery When Wet cowboy shot called WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE . After this song , each member (JON, RICHIE, DAVE, TICO, HUGH, BOBBY and LORENZA) stood on the edge of stage and bowed . Then Lorenza Bobby and Hugh lef stage and JONNY, RICH , DAVE and TICO made a final bow and disappeared from stage . WANTED was a dot after this perfect show , which was the best day of my life ! BJ 4EVER !
