Bon Jovi In Finland

Bon Jovi have always been one of the biggest names here in Finland.
They have sold more albums than any other foreign artist in Finland And their gigs have always been sold out months ahead during the years.
I just wanted to list down some of the great moments and wish that they’ll come back soon, cause we really love these guys and miss them so much!


Bon Jovi in 1989.
They just gave us for the fourth time in a row the best selling artist award here in Finland and add to that we heard that this concert was sold out like a month ago in a two hours so it seemes that there is some kind of a Bon Jovi madness going around here!

1989
Damn, at one time I didn't even know where Finland is and in my wildest dreams I couldn't think that I would ever travel in this part of the world. They always give us a worm welcome here and I want to pay that back to the audience. If these kids come to see us in the middle of the winter through a snowstorm in freezing cold they earn to see us making a real effort on stage and that's what we'll do!

1989
This is very special night for us, because many times we come to Helsinki It’s such a long way from New Jersey. For the first time we came here I think we played to 100 – 150 kids, next time we came, we played here to about 6000 people and this time we got everybody here all the way around.

1993 During Concert
Good evening Helsinki!
a long time no seen my Friends how you’ve been?

1995
We’ve been coming to Helsinki now 12 years.
We have come through the snow and the rain to Helsinki Finland and I just want you to know that after all those years it was worth, u guys are worth it.

1996
Good evening Helsinki Finland, how are you tonight!
It’s good to see you without any snow for a while, I’m starting to get use to it.
Tonight in the land of the midnight sun we got to the last show of the these days tour and I promise you it’s nothing but a bonfire, baby!

2000
I’ll tell you that you are absolutely , positively the best crowd ever, seriously.
We have nice time here. For a lot of years we always came here in the dead of winter when it was dark all the time, snow all the time.
But we still come here and always have a good time in these shows.
I had a day off last night before the show and I walked around here and I noticed, Damn it’s pretty nice around here in summertime

2000
Helsinki it’s good to see you here.
The Last show of the last the tour was right here in Helsinki 96 so we have to come back and see you guys again right away.
