This was a truly amazing experience. The Milton Keynes Bowl rocked! The atmosphere was indescribable. I was truly surprised by the crowd, the mixture of old and new fans. People from all around England travelled a long way to see Bon Jovi. Towards the front, they pushed and shoved and in some cases acted like animals, but all in all, it was a great gathering of fans. The weather wasn’t all that bad. After nasty showers, the sun warmed the mood as it came close to setting. The set list was great. They included great songs from Slippery When Wet, New Jersey, Keep the Faith, Cross Road, and Crush. It would have been even better if they had included one or two songs from These Days, to really complete an amazing night. Jon’s outfit, especially his choice of hats, his little anecdotes in the middle of certain songs, and his unique dancing made the fans go wild. I’ll Be There for You was a great surprise, sung beautifully by Jon. Finishing the evening off with Livin’ on a Prayer was a great touch. The fans wouldn’t let the Bon Jovi boys get away without singing their greatest song. The boys called their concert One Wild Night and they truly delivered One Wild Night to the 55,000 fans who came to see them.
Peace Out!
