I'm actually thinking they will do similar to when they promo'd the Bounce album..... Shepherds Bush Empire - Backstage members only.

That has to go down as my worst gig ever, or the build up to it anyway.
Got up at 2am to drive down, but had migraine and vomitted everywhere.
Arrived at 5am, position numbers 13 & 14 in the queue.
Waited all freaking day to get in.... then when they opened the doors, there were people who had arrived after 11am who managed to queue jump etc.
Worse still was the usual little girly posse (you ALL know who I mean) where inside before anyone, taking front centre.
We ended up stuck in the corner a few rows back.

From that moment on we vowed two things:
a) never to go back to backstage
b) never to arrive so early for a gig (and Twickenham proved that to be a good idea).

Pretty cool that they'll be doing promo again in London. Unfortunately I don't think I can go. The tickets are gonna be expensive as hell.. And I don't have any days off from work anymore until the last week in December. Grr!

And I can't afford it at the moment.

Would love to go but my wife could be about to lose her job, so this could put our Jovi tour plans into complete dissaray.

Hopefully I'll at least catch the Glasgow show, but that could be it.

Was actually my best gig ever, though the countdown to it was rubbish as I'd only decided at midnight that day that I was going, with no flights and no ticket.

But it all worked out.

Oh, don't get me wrong - the gig itself was AWESOME.... especially as I was a huge fan of the support act that night too.
Just everything around it was a nightmare.

I'd actually say that was the last Bon Jovi gig I was impressed with and goes to prove that, in some cases, smaller is better!

My wife's already decided that she's not interested in going to see them again, which has surprised me.
We're screwed anyway if it's between 1st and 5th November as we're in Paris with the kids!

I should be free the first week of November, and it'll have just been my birthday, so hopefully I'll have a bit of money to spare. Excellent

It would be cool if they would broadcast it again at some cinemas. Much better sound .
