This is odd. I saw the video of Bobby opening up with SQT. Pepper. I image many fans had some disappointment. From all the live Jovi shows I've attended, (or any live concert) that is the most exciting time of the evening. The anticipation of the opening song. And from a $ standpoint, if I paid $100 to see Bon Jovi....I would want an opening song...new or old from the BAND not Bobby and the Kings.
This must have been very disappointing.
Cheap Trick live at the fair was great! And yes Robin Zander opened the show.
Maybe he should have the Kings of Suburbia open the show with a Tim McGraw or Kenny Chesney cover and see what happens.
