Milwaukee PBP

Glad you had a great time too. Can't wait to see the pics of the band and the new stage.

Thanks for the reviews for those that went. I heard it was a very good show and very high energy. I think the stage looks cool and I can't wait to see it tomorrow night.

Once again I paid a little extra to be closer to the action and it was worth every penny.
This was a top 3 Bon Jovi concert for me and my wife. It was a safe set list and I do know that Blood on Blood was an audible. I personally have no problems with the set list, while I would love to hear Wild is the Wind, Edge of a Broken Heart, Santa Fe, Undivided etc,the truth is only hardcore Bon Jovi fans know songs like that.
Perfect example when Blood on Blood came on I was extremely happy but it appeared that maybe 10% of the people in my area new the song.
It was one of the only times in which I have seen Richie running around the stage...unplugged if you will during KTF, he even went up on the walkway near the crowd on the edge of the stage.

All in all it was a great show with a solid yet safe set list and both Jon and Richie appeared to have a good time. The personal touches on the video screen during I Love This Town was well done also. Shots of local sites, Packers, Brewers and so on also got the crowd fired up.

At one of the Pru shows when BOB was played the girl (who was around 25) turned to me and said, "is this song on Crossroad, if it's not on Crossroad, I don't know it". It was difficult for me not to smack her, lol! Yea, I know Richie has gone wireless again on some songs which I can't wait to see.

Glad you and your wife had a great time.

have i missed something, the stage set has changed????

Yep, changed big time. The stage now is much more open with lots of venetian type screens that change sizes and the ramps move some. I'll see it in person tomorrow night.

deb

could you take pics? please no doubt you have good seats would be much appreciated

I actually have NO tickets for tomorrow's show but going any way, I know I'll get somethng. I do have decent seats, 6th row, for the Sunday show, so hopefully I can get some good shots.

deb

cool i'll look forward and good luck tomorrow getting tickets but i hope you enjoy the show anyhow!

To be quite honest I am a bigger fan than my wife so when we go see the band I will break out an old CD and tell her to pay attention to a certain song. On the HAND tour they played Blood on Blood in Milwaukee as well and when we were driving to the show we listened to New Jersey so she could sing along if you will.
Never been disapointed at a show....shocked once when they didn't play Prayer in Milwaukee Summerfest 6-7 years ago, otherwise I always leave happy as heck. It makes a world of difference where you sit. When Jon or Richie came out on Richie's side catwalk we were 5 feet from them and I will post pictures as well. We took our old digital camera, not the good one so the quality is average.
Also, my ears are still ringing it might have been the loudest concert I have ever been to.

I am already praying that they add a Madison show later in the tour, otherwise it will be 2-3 years before we see them again.
