I'm sure we'll get the details from our own "on the scene" reporter Kathleen, but it has been reported on BS that JBJ did 5 songs. WSYCGH, Prayer, A Change is Gonna Come (Sam Cooke cover) and Here Comes the Sun. The first song may have been the Beatles' Help. Evidently Bobby, Lorenza and Jeff were with Jon. If I see anything else interesting, I'll pass it along.

Yup - you got the setlist right Terri. Too short for me but Jon sounded great. Bill and Hillary and Chelsea were all there. Also Sen Shumer and Gov Patterson. Lots of bigwigs. We had a nice evening - good dinner out too

Thanks for the links Terri - what did we ever do without you here LOL.

I have one thing to say about the audience. I only WISH that the older women (these were not kids) who are Bon Jovi fans learned some manners. The evening was about Hillary. However as soon as Jon came out they were squealing (I can't think of a better word for the shrill sound they make) I LOVE YOU JON. It was not the time, or the place. So in several places where the music was quiet and acoustic - Jon was drowned out by groupies.

Doing this in an arena or a stadium is one thing - I think it was very inappropriate here.

You know, I'm not surprised by this at all. I agree that it was not the time and place for them to behave like that at all. It's one thing to be there only to see Jon perform but it's another to disrespect the host of the evening (whether you like her as a politician or not).

I wish they wouldn't even do it in an arena or stadium center either. They ruin good recordings

Not bothered about Prayer, and I'd really rather not listen to Who Says, but The Beatles covers are boss. The harmonies are almost spot on.
