Sometimes what’s going on in your life effects how you feel at a show. So for me the first one is...The palladium gig in London in Oct 2016.
My father in law had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer back in the Feb. He had about a year to live but was doing well. I entered the ballot for tickets but didn’t get any. Luckily someone on twitter gave me 2 so me and the wife went. From start of Oct the father in law took a huge turn for the worse.
We came out the gig, got come and soon as we walked in got a call to say he’d been taken to hospital (pretty sure gig was on the Monday) and he never came out. He died on the Friday.
Now, that aside cos it was the first time we went to a Bon Jovi gig not 100% in the mood but it dawned on me that night that I really disliked the THINFS album. The band were playing it well but I was thinking this album is terrible apart from a few. Still feel that way about it.

2nd - not the bands fault but MK Bowl 96.
I dragged 2 non Jovi fans all the way to the gig saying how good they would be etc and the weather was horrific. It thundered and lightening and pissed down all day. Real shitty support including a local band and Joan Osborne didn’t help but by time Jovi came on it was so windy the sound went up, up and away. You could stand there talking at normal volume and hear every word everyone was saying. It was a cold drab horrible day. Not the bands fault but you really need the weather if you outside in a field!
