I would really like to hear it too, but you can only dream about to hear that song live.

Still no word about support band... Strange!
Anyone got a clue?

Only three days left, hopefully we'll get a killer show. I've already been to the Munich show and it was absolutely brilliant!

Yes, there is a word. It's a local band called MoonMadness.

The last time we had BJ in Finland was on the Crush tour 2000. It´s fantastic they´re coming back after all these years.

I believe this is going to be the greatest BJ concert ever in this country. Bon Jovi is more popular here than ever before. The whole stadium was sold out in a day or two and that doesn´t happen very often in here.

Such a pity I won´t make it to the Golden circle...

Let's not exaggerate. They didn't sell out the stadium in two days, it's still not sold out. You can even buy GC tickets and it's three days to the gig. And Bon Jovi is nowhere near as popular it was in the 80's or even the mid-90's. Most people couldn't name Bon Jovi's last three albums if you put a gun to their heads.

That's strange because they last played in Finland to a half-empty Olympiastadion in 1996 when, apparently, they were more popular. The fact that it was one of the best shows they ever played is irrelevant for this argument; there was nobody there.

Yep. The thing is, there aren't that many Bon Jovi fans here. There are a lot of people who own Crossroad or Crush etc. but if Bon Jovi were to play two shows, the second one wouldn't sell shit. This one has sold pretty good, but it's been in the press a lot because of the newcomer promoter. It's his first really big concert thus it was publicized heavily. He mortgaged his house or something to finance this.

And in 1996 people didn't really know Bon Jovi was in town and they had just been in Finland the previous summer. And even so, there were a lot of people there for Finland.

The show is sold out, they probably just released those tickets afterwards because of demand.

Iceman you may be right. Maybe I should take back a few words of mine. It´s just that I´m happy they´re finally coming back. Didn´t mean to mislead anybody though. No hard feelings?
