Unless you are from the NY/NJ area, it's very hard to explain the energy. There is no other place like it. There is that extra punch behind every cheer. Then, throw in the hometown band...... Forgetaboutit......

It's a combination of Jon feeding off the energy of the crowd along with him wanting to give back to his hometown fans.

I've seen Bon Jovi perform outside the area and it's just not the same.
