****ing hell, I love Bon Jovi.

Amen.
I'll add these: Remember how it felt at your first Jovi show and the lights finally go down and you're waiting and waiting, and one by one you see the guys come on stage, and then out comes Jon and it is pure euphoria? Or when you look around during Capt Crash or RYH and see thousands and thousands of hands swaying back and forth in unison? Or when Jon goes that extra mile and does an AMAZING improv during a classic ballad? Or when the band finally honors your sign and plays the song you've been waiting to hear for 10 years (Blood) and they play it for you and dedicate it to you and you feel like you are the only one at the show (thanks JBJ!) Or when you watch a Giants DVD (2001 for ex. during Just Older) and you see Jon gaze out at the massive crowd and you see the look in his eyes and you realize he "gets it" and that he is as moved by it all as the fans are. Or when Richie struts out in his black Stetson and double neck and you hear Jon utter the words "Please rise for the playing of our national anthem?" Or when you watch them perform Hallelujah and just take it all in.
There's a word for it and that word is: Magic.
