It was 20 years ago today...

....that one of BJ's all time best gigs took place

As I am not really able to remind all the tourdates I guess this was the last leg of the NJ tour in South/middle America right ?
The band was burned out by the Beginning of 1990 weren't they?

Incorrect. This was one hell of a special show, I can confirm that much! One of THE greats! I'm (very) surprised nobody has picked up on it yet.

which show was it ??? Too lazy to search *g*

edit: was it Hammersmith 1990 ????

Cadillac Man, You Keep Me Hangin' On and Shooting Star in one set...I'd kill to hear only one of them live again!!!

Got it on (audio) Tape somewhere. Is there a video existing ? It was a charity show or sth like this right ?

I'd give my right arm to hear of these also. Would make up for a hell of a lot! let's not start holding our breaths just yet though, hey?!

There are video clips of it in Access All Areas but no full video that has ever surfaced. I'd LOVE a video copy of that show. I'd LOVE a complete soundboard copy of that show - or even an official live release.

One of the best ever in my opinion.

The only existing video footage 'out there' is the clips that we have on the Access All Areas Video/dvd.

Taken from the Info file I have along with the Audio bootleg:
Bon Jovi was touring on thier second gigantic album New Jersey. The promoter had secured 4 nights at the Hammersmith Odeon as the finale of the New Jersey tour.

The band would go on to do some stadiums in South America and Mexico but this was the real end of the tour.

The shows sold out in a record time for London and the promoter asked the band to add 2 more shows, well the band agreed to add the 2 shows for the promoter with the condition that the promoter completely pay for a third added show to be completely donated to charities. In December of the same year the band would begin thier annual charity christmas concerts in Red Bank New Jersey.

The first show in the run was 1/10/90 the last to go on sale, billed as a charity benefit with a special guest and plenty of surprises, and it delivered on both counts.

The show features 25 songs (several in medleys), 14 of which are cover songs. Several of these songs were never played before or again. Severeal of the Bon Jovi tunes performed were done for the last time ever and the setlist featured a brand new Bon Jovi song written for the upcoming Robin Williams movie Cadillac Man, which was axed before the movies release and was only played a small number of times live.

As he did many times over the years Jon encourages Bootleggers to record the show. And to the great delight of everyone in attendance, Jon announced the arrival of "the man for whom Les Paul built these guitars" JIMMY PAGE to play "the train kept a rollin ".
