Is there someone here attending this show? Should be pretty cool!

I think DC and TD will be played..

they ve never toured here before....so no previous setlist!!! we were very close in the past, especially in the ktf and lh tours but it didnt materialized...here in greece the anticipation is really high!!!a dream comes true for many many fans....the stadium is expected to be packed, 65k tickets have been sold so far...i ve seen them 4 times already, 2 in twickenham and 2 in o2...i have faith that athens performance will top them all, at least in my book.
bj were the first band that got me into music and my love and affection to them has stayed untouched since these days, my first ever album in 95...i believe i am one of their biggest fans(many people make that claim, at leats in greece)and i feel like a dream comes true with that concert...
of course i want rarities,3 hour set, surprises, fireworks etc etc, but only one thing is really important to me, to see they care to play for us, to give energy and passion in their performance and not just go with the motions, lets se what happens...
imo the great shows of ths tour that comes to mind are: argentina-msg night.3(i think) ,sydney night 2 or 3, london 2011, romania,dublin and maybe the las vegas show, i hope athens will be up there

Kairos itane!!! 2 days to go!!!!

i woke up happy today!!! tonight's show is gonna be abso****inglutely great!!! richie and tico went to the new acropolis museum yesterday, jon is expected today!! it will be really hot, 42 degrees, the hottest day of the summer this far, i am at work but i really cant focus on anything else...in fact tomorrow my band(remade) will be performing on national tv-3 songs-our first tv appearence and its a really big deal for us because we have invested everything into this but still today i dont give a **** about anything else...i ll deal with it tomorrow... i am so psyched!!!
i am working near the olympic stadium, bj booked the place for 6 days and the stage is being build 2-3 days if i am not mistaken(i am not...i ve seen the pictures).
friends of mine and family are gathering from all around greece to be here tonight. 6-7 friends of mine paid the 150 euros ticket just to live the experience and see what its all about, a part of them i m sure considers me crazy...even though they ll come without being fans and i hope the guys will deliver tonight and understand partially my "obsession".
unfortunatelly i wont be able to do pbp or anything cause i wannna enjoy it as much as i can but i ll be more than happy to write an extensive review tomorrow!!!!
after all these years i feel really proud, it may sound stupid but in a way i feel i helped along with the few really hardcore bj greek fans to persuade the promoters that a concert like that could be viable in a weird touring destination like greece!!! there were shows in this run that put the bar really high but i have a feeling that they will give their best, as we the fans we ll do the same.

Happy for you, enjoy as much as you can. Lets show Jovi what Greece can do . I think it will be something special tonight.........

thnx man, i hope they ll kick some major ass

Go and soak it all in Nikos!! I hope the band kicks ass tonight and wows your family and friends!! Can't wait for your review. Oh and best of luck with your gig tomorrow!!
