I've always labeled 2005 to be that last youthful fun energetic era for Jon Bon Jovi at age 43... Once Lost Highway hit, something was lost (no pun) and things started slowing down and got much more rehearsed and staged.
I was at this show in 2005. Its kinda hard to explain the set-up but I was on the floor, in the back. There was a divider and I was one step up. So basically I had first section, front row tickets but it was almost level to the floor. It was elevated by one step...This was a time when YouTube and SmartPhones weren't a major thing yet or I would have captured an awesome moment... It's amazing that someone else got it... The lights go down, the intro to Last Man Standing starts, I hear Jon singing but he's not on stage. His platform is 20 feet away right in my section. As he's making his way to the stage, he's high fiving everyone and I slapped his back. The guy was solid as a rock. All muscle. Not an ounce of fat on him.
