Default Personal hyde park review...

Hey all, still on a high!!!!!! Lets just say Bon Jovi rocked.........
Ok, i got to hyde park bout 8.45, and there were about 20 people in front of me in the gold section queue.... spent the next 7 hours sunbathing, sleping, chatting and generally getting excited...

When they let us in at 4 there was a massive surge to get to the front (i got to the barrier just right of jon's mike.) waited bout half hour and decided to find the loos, didnt want to lose my space, so asked nice south african guy to save it, and he did!!!!! Wanted to buy bounce t shirt but the queue was massive with only1 person serving, so decided to leave it. Then found some mates on the way back and as they couldnt get to where i was, decide to go to them,(the nice south african man thought i was nutty to give up my place) but as it turned out, i was just two rows back anyway with excellent view!!!
On came live(after richie made an appearance, in what looked like a white suit???) He just poked his head up and then ran of!!!! Live were good, but cant say i paid too much attention cos was just waiting for the guys!!!! Anyway, i didnt see much of live cos a nutty live fan was in front of me having a fit, declaring how she was there for live and wasnt bothered about Bon Jovi!!!!!! GRRRRRRR!
Then at about 7.45 on they came on!!! First of all, jon looked GOOD!!!! Im not one of these look at jons ass kinda girls, but lets just say, he looked fine....
First off was Bounce, the audience went CRAZY!!!!!!!! Then came you give love a bad name,(at this point i was on shoulders of two of my mates, taking photos for everyone around us!!!) People just kept handing me camera,s, bless the guys i was with for holding me up!!!! Then came runaway, everyday, prayer(not sure of exact order ) and lets just say jon was on form.... flirting with girs on stage.... shaking his butt... richie even joined in and showed the crowed his which had **** ME written on the butt!!!!!!! Then followed.... KTF- excellent version!!!!!! Jon was on fire!!!!! Dead or Alive was really special, jon and richie were singing perfectly together and richies guitar solo was magic.
The distance was very emotional, jon said it was for the fans that have stuck by bon jovi. Its my life got the audience going (iots a shame that the people around me were responding more to the newer songs, and during others, looked totally oblivious, liked theyd never heard them before!!!! Needless to say, i was leading the singing, and even had my photo tawken by some rawndom stranger??? Aparantly, he thought my enthusiasm deserved a picture.....
Lay your hands on me was a great surprise, misunderstood was good then came..... SOMEDAY ILL BE SATURDAY NIGHT!!!!!! BRILLIANT!!!!!!! Just older was next. And then richie sang, I'll be there for you... His voice was spot on and very powerful and Dave did real good on back up. In these arms was a treat as was Born to be my baby.... by this point i was just praying for a These Days song but got Sleep when im dead instead, great performance from jon, changed to Rocking all over the world. Then came what was for me, the best song..... Raise your hands!!!! AND WE DID!!!! Jons energy was superb, bear in mind that at this point i was serriously dehydrated... but this song gave me a new lease of lifre... it was AMAZING!!!!!! Then followed, I got the girl, with jon dancing with three small girls on stage. I gotta admit that i was not very excited when jon started singing this song, but he pulled it off and is definately better live
Next was another treat..... blood on blood!!! Then a great version of Lola with Ray Davies. At this point you had to wonder what else was left for jon to pull out of the bag.... Bad Medicine ofcourse!!! Then shout... Then jon askes the audience if anybodys got enough money to bail him out of jail... then he just says '**** it, lets play!' The band just kept coming back on stage and doing more songs!!!!! On they came, after a little disscusio,n and gave us These Days. Have to say that by this time, tico looked a bit tired, and not as enthusiastic as usual??? Captain Crash was a crowd pleaser as was twist and shout . Just when we thought there was nothing that could make the day any more special, jon starts to sing Never vsay goodbye. I have to admit there wasd a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat, ewhen they left the stage.... fireworks followed, then video outtakes came on screen, was a perfect end to a perfect night....
At this point, i was ready to collapse, ande me being me, lost my mates!!! All turned out fine tho, i stood under a tree and they found me!
Then it was train home and straight to bed.... no sleep though, cos just couldnt stop singing all night!!! Hope yopu made it to the end of this review, cheers.

Would like to take this oppotunity to apologise for all the spelling mistakes in my review!!!??? I wrote it in a hurry and didnt have time to edit. Would do it now, but i reckon my poor grammar and punctuation is quite amusing....
