Your reaction to a very very loved song being played

Dry County - 02 - 8th June 2010 ....was in complete shock ... I said it cant be can it... but it is.. REALLY ..... my daughter said yes mum it is I said ring Mo

Dawn

I´ve got such bittersweet memories of that evening. To begin with, JB was on such a great mood, smiling and laughing and running around, energetic and enthusiastic as ever. And then, during LTOR, he severed his meniscus. One of the most triumphant BJ concerts I´ve witnessed turned quickly into something completely different. And then it started raining cats and dogs, too.

But JB really was Superman that night, not walking off the stage, not even cutting down the setlist despite of the obvious pain on his face. That´s what I call professionalism.

Not a song, but a concert, well Bon Jovi played for their first time ever in Athens in 2011, 29 Years of history, and they played first time in Greece in 2011! Greece each year have some great lives but Bon Jovi never played here, Well I have seen many Bon Jovi lives in other countries but they feeling of watching them live in London for example is totally different than watching them in your own Country! I was in the front of stage, had the opportunity to meet the band it was just great! I won't ever forget that!

I had to wait to see them live for the first time until I was 28 years old. I so wish I could see them in the 90’ - my fav period but I can’t turn back time unfortunately. So far they have never been to my country so I always have to go abroad to see them, but each time I did, it was so worth it. For me each show I attend is a huge reward but for sure there are songs I was dying to hear more than for the others. And when that moment comes, well… here are my reactions to my all time TOP3 songs heard for the first time ever live:

Keep The Faith, 25.06.2008 (at my 1st show)
My all time fav - you can see that wild fire in my eyes at 3.40 mark. I couldn’t believe I was there. I never thought that dream will come true, but when it did, there was no going back, and I just had to go to their show again… and again…and again

Dry County, 29.06.2011 (at my 5th show)
Probably the most emotional performance I have ever experienced in my life. I still get the chills every time I see this video, I remember that moment like it was yesterday. I don’t think I have ever chased anything else in my life like that. But the harder the path, the sweeter the satisfaction is.

These Days, 26.06.2010 (at my 4th show)
Almost identical reaction as for DC. If I had to wait for KTF that long too, my reaction would have been even bigger I think, but Thank God, KTF is a staple on the set lists and I could see it on my first show. But that TD performance happened when I felt there is no more hope left for it..but never say never…it ain’t over till it’s over

June seems to be a nice month for making dreams come true for me

It was great night. I was very proud of Jon. Real artist
And the rain... Atmosphere was amazing. So called cold nordic people were so emotional and didn´t care about the rain.
I was so cold and happy same time I was at home with my family ( read with other crazy fans) :P

I agree, the athmosphere in the audience was amazing despite of the circumstances. Even a GH song hardly anyone knew (No Apologies) received an energetic response in the crowd. Jon was jumping on one foot during it.

We heard "These Days" live at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. Just awesome!!

Was that in 2003? If so, this has to be one of the worst versions of These Days they ever did. Jon wasn't able to deliver it properly. The whole webcast was a joke though.

That's what I just though as well. On the other hand, if it's one's first live experience it makes up for a lot. In hindsight Jon sounded really weak in Hessisch-Lichtenau 2006, but due the excitement of it being my first show as a fan I thought it was brilliant back then.

Yeah... I probably had the worst version of Something To Believe In ever done in Vancouver 2011, but still enjoyed it thoroughly as it happened.
