Favorite moments this tour

*Meeting the 2003 JT'ers again at MK 1, and meeting some new people

*kev's impersonations, esp. of Chad

*Vallie & me taking pictures of each other looking like ghosts

*hearing These Days (twice), Blood on Blood & Living in Sin

*the "it's alright" s at Milton Keynes

and finally:

*Ryan's package

The entire tour was magic:

* First show in Madison Square Garden since forever

* Continental's fantastic shows and learning how to smuggle in taping equipment for the first time.

* Meeting Amy for the first time and Tess for the second at Philly - and getting to eat at Chickie and Petes on Sunday.

* Having people at my house for all the Giants shows was great as was the touring around and eating out every night.

* And another honorable mention for Dry County and the entire last Giants show which exceeded all my high hopes.

A pretty impressive list if you ask me.

December 12, 2005 ~ Being front row in Albany with my request sign for Blood on Blood. Jon reading it out loud, teasing me and asking if I’ve been a really good girl this year then playing it for the first time thus far into the tour, dedicating the song to me: "So the girl in the front row wants to hear Blood on Blood. All right, let's do it. Blood on Blood, this is for you. Merry Christmas young lady.” Hearing that song live for the first time, along with the smile and wink I got from Jon at the end of it was the best Christmas present ever!

For me, the best moments were realizing that Richie was playing the intro to Wild In The Wind and the first snare hit in Living in Sin. Oh and front row at Pittsburgh was pretty awesome too!!

We're totally on the same page about that first snare hit!

i know it doesnt technically belong to the tour section, but let me just say it was great meeting you and steph yesterday. i had a blast!!! can't wait to see you guys again & i am really looking forward to seeing Tom Petty with you

I could make a extremely long list for this post, but I will try and keep it as short as I can.

**Meeting Thierry, Florin and Matty for the first time.

**The excitement being told that Dry County had been soundchecked three times the previous night.

**Hearing Daves keyboard into to Dry County at Dusseldorf and the fanclub pit (and especially our JT group) went absolutely ****ing nuts! We were screaming so loud and still were after the show because we couldnt believe it. Ten years is a long time to wait!

**Being second row centre...great spots for most of the UK gigs

**Seeing Taija, Tom and Laura for the first time n three years.

**Meeting back up with Vallie, Tash, Jim, Paul, Yvonne, Jana, Neil, Mike and Chris

**These Days at Coventry was a big surprise as Jon had been so ill. He really paid the fans that night.

**Good laughs on the road trips between shows Kev Bee and of course Carli

**The massive group of JTers at Milton Keynes.

**Meeting Lee. Great guy!

**Hearing Living In Sin for the first time at Milton Keynes. Special Moment.

**Getting a big surprise with The Boys Are Back In Town at Milton Keynes

**Arriving in New Jersey and getting a 'welcome to NJ phonecall' from Brooke.

**Going out with Thierry in NYC before meeting Kathleen.

**Meeting Kathleen and Paul for the first time in NYC, before they drove us around NJ seeing the BJ sites.

**Also meeting Becky and Amy for the first time in NJ. Lovely friendly girls.

**Walking into Giants Stadium for the first time. Real buzz about the place knowing that your about to see the homecoming show!

**Staying at Kathleen n Paul's beautiful house in NJ. Gorgeous! Going out drinking and to dinner with them every night. Fabulous times!

**Hearing I am and Wild Is The Wind at Giants.

**Going to Brookes house with Kathleen for lunch and beers. Awesome day! It was a pleasure to meet my best internet friend after a three year wait!

well i could only afford 1 gig this tour so my fav moment will have to come from this and the gig....HULL!LOL

Ok.....the end of prayer when the crowd sang the chorus,it got very loud then the whoa.....whoa by jon and the crowd.

A good moment of a below average gig.Still some other good moments.At th beginning of bad medicine a roadie woman came out in a nurse uniform and jon slapped her arse!lol

Can anyone shed any light on the other good moments from that gig,lol

*Richie singing IBTFY at MK both nights

*being within touching distance of Jon during In these arms

*Richie greeting the crowd at MK 1 when he was pissed/stoned!

*The numerous occasion that i looked from the front of a stadium to see everybody behind me singing along - gives me goosebumps

Ok sorry if iv mentioned some of these already

- Jon waving to the queue at Dusseldorf before we went in - It just added to the excitement of seeing my first show in 3 years, I was like BRING IT ON!!!!

-the Dusseldorf crew who have been mentioned above and THAT moment before Dc

-meeting friends old and new - I hope to keep in contact with most of them and not just for Bon Jovi either

- Getting pissed in a pub before Dublin, the sleeping in the cold and rain wasnt as much fun at the time though!!!

- camping out for Munich and waking everyone up when we were all slightly worse for wear!! Falling asleep to Chris and Florins funny conversation...

- The whole day of the Hampden show, it being my birthday we had a ncie chilled out time (well if you can call drinking with Jims family chilled out!!), make a nice change from queing.

- Milton Keynes, Nuff said, This whole weekend was quality far too many funny moments to mention.

But my fave moment from the whole tour has to be Jon (in an England shirt!) singing Living in Sin. The whole intro from Tico and not knowing what it was until that first line. I think on reflection it was even better than DC at dusseldorf because it was COMPLETELY unexpected and is one of my alltime fave songs.
