Bon Jovi 2005-06 World Tour

The tour dates are coming....maybe as soon as today. They had the dates posted on the tour site for only a minute. I was lucky enough to see them before they took it down. The tour site (the new one with the tour dates on it) was actually restructured and was rather impressive. November and December look very busy for the band.

There up!

Aloha !

Yeah right. Just like the "amazing" stage the Bounce tour had.

Salaam Aleikum,

Amazing! Not a post can go by without you finding something to be negative about!

He's just a little ray of sunshine isn't he

Aloha !

Well Joviforever, do you disagree with me then? We were promised a stage that would make the Stones proud. Did you see the stage the Stones used on their Licks Tour? Did you see the one they used on their Bridges To Babylon tour? If so, is the Bounce stage something that looks just as great? I don't think so.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Oh boy - seven concerts within driving distance

Kathleen

You really want me to call you ugly names, don't you? (Just kidding!)

Kind of a tough schedule in terms of days of the week. There's no way I can do NJ this year - Maybe if it was Monday and Tuesday, but Monday and Wednesday doesn't work. Can't take that much time off from work.

Gonna have to make do with 2 shows in Philly, 1 show in CT, and 1 show in Boston.
