Hey,

BJ will be on about 8PM, and there will be beer, but it's about £3 for a plastic cup.

Thought this was interesting (in a geeky kind of way!). From the Bon Jovi tours website:

"Perhaps the most demanding part of the European Tour's logistics requirements will take place on Friday, the 20th of June when 16 X 40 ft tract trailers along with 7 VIP Tour Buses and the approximately 75 touring personnel that need to accompany the tour's production equipment will move from Randers, Denmark to Glasgow, Scotland via an exclusive use cargo vessel charter.

In order to arrive in Glasgow in time for their performance on the 21st of June in Glasgow, the group will charter their own, exclusive use high speed, Roll On/Roll Off ship, which permits the all of the tractor/trailers and tour buses to drive on the ship when loading in Denmark, and drive off the ship upon arrival in Scotland.

The 415 nautical mile North Sea crossing from Denmark to Scotland is expected to take approx 25 hours.

The combined weight of the 16 tractor/trailers and 7 tour buses on board the exclusive use Vessel Charter will be approx 1,400,000 LBS of equipment. With a tour of this size and magnitude, it's no wonder they call Bon Jovi Heavyweights."

Should be, although don't expect it to be cheap!

Probably about 8ish

So, after what happened last night it seems Jon might be influenced by a sign request....Who's bringin some signage!?

Lets get everyone in the whole stadium to take in a "Play something from These Days! PLEASE! " Sign!

I remember being disappointed on the HAND tour as rarities were being played, as they are again this tour, but Glasgow got a pretty standard set. Im trying not to get too excited about the prospect of what might be played, but itd mean so much to hear These Days live, or anything from the album for that matter....

still a good show though.

Definitely want something a bit special though...I know I'll get something good the last night at Twickenham, but be cool for Glasgow to have a gem as the crowds always fantastic at hampen.
