Bon Jovi Private Concert in Houston Last Night

I don't understand why anyone is insulted by this. It's just another ****ing gig.

Thank you - as if they don't get paid for playing Madison Square Garden - or anywhere else except certain charity gigs.

Aloha !

I don't understand it either. It's not like Bon Jovi write deep emotional stuff that's not supposed to be played for a random audience. They're a party band and just like every band they can be hired for a gig. Whenever they play MSG they offer promoters their services, now they offered their services for a single customer. What's the difference really?

"Work for the Working Man"......

Like I say, not that I'm offended, but it's basically class/wealth issues.

Well, Duhhhhh.

Aloha !

If a rich company owner hires a band and lets his employees hear that band for free doesn't that mean that they're actually playing for the working man and therefore giving the working man a good time?

Really !? Is that true ! Cool if it's true !

Hmmmm.. If this is your definition of "the working man", you may have a point...

the black crowes play corporate gigs -

the jovis also have a massive touring and management company and all the people it takes to put on stuff like this - they have their own "working men and women" - they are done retired and rich forever if they want - they are out there working and paying people to help them put these shows on...

its not like they are ONLY playing corporate gigs and only the rich can see them - outside of BSWJBJ

but please - mike rew aint rich and hes at the top....think of everybody else in the organization that gets to have a steady job now that a tour is coming and gets to make interim money like this before it starts....

people please - let me hear HAPPY NOW - that is awesome they played that -

they prob use these as practice gigs anyway

If I was in a band that just made hundreds of millions from the last tour I'd say "You know what, **** em. We're only gonna play for people who really want to see us, not some drunk workers"

They do not need to do this kind of thing. That's what gets me, how greedy have they got?

If they wanna tighten up as a band they should play in private.
