Cool story!

One of my best memories of a Bon Jovi tribute band was with Bounce in a small town in Bavaria last year. I had known the band since my 18th birthday and had seen many shows up until that point. After the shows we had hung out together, drunk a beer and discussed songs. Over the years I had repeatedly asked for Diamond Ring but they had always refused to do the song during a full band concert. However, the previous night the discussion had come up again and before this very show we met their guitar player in a nearby restaurant and he told us that their singer was struggling with a sore throat and they didn't know how to make it through the show. The conert went underway, the band and the audience were great, it was unbelievably hot and tedious in that little building and they left for the encore. Since Olli's voice had pretty much deteriorated by that point, I expected them to do about 2 songs and call it quits. But only he and their guitar player came back in stage, the latter having his double neck acoustic guitar ready. They smiled down to us and started playing Diamond Ring! It was one of the most amazing moments at a concert and the whole club sang along to it which made it even more stunning.
There were some more memorable moments during Bounce concerts but this is the one that will always stand out for me.
