A few days prior to the Stuttgart-show I was lucky enough to meet Jon; I was actually on my way back home when I decided to give it a try. I was just waiting about 15 minutes, no other fans around, just me, all alone - and totally nervous, as if I felt something might happen. Suddenly Jon was standing rightin front of me. I actually thought my "diehard-times" are over, but somehow I loved the idea, asking him if he "maybe - maybe??? - could play NSG in Stuttgart", because the day of the show will be my 40th b-day, my 40th show and - as if this wasn't enough - in my hometown. He said "I'll try to remember this", and then I suggested I could do a banner to remind him. He smiled, laughed and said, yes, do so. He shaked my hand (for a felt eternity), and then I went back to my seat and later to my car and back home. Don't ask me how I was able to drive... Ok, the banner was done (by the head manager of my company, btw  ). It said: "here's your reminder: it's my 40th b-day & 40th show! "Never say goodby" would make my day.We were lucky to get our spot in the back of the first pit, so I was able to put the banner over the handrail. When Jon came round the walkway for the second time, he almost passed our group, but then stopped, read the banner and then ...if it was just me I would think it was just imagination but others saw this, too... definitely looked like he now was reminded of a woman who told him something about b-day and nsg...he smiled, pointed at the banner and ... nodded. I'm not sure if anyone can imagine how I felt. For the rest of the show I was completely nervous and the only thing on my mind was 'God, will he/they really do NSG?' 'did I just WISH he nodded but he didn't?' 'did he but won't do the song?' Even during my onstage-moments (thanks Resi, I'll never ever forget) I couldn't get rid of these confusing thoughts - probably seeing Jon that close during "bad medicine" with the tight shirt didn't really help to calm down  The show seemed over, the band almost left the stage...when Jon returned, stood there some seconds and then asked "give me an acoustic guitar"... this was the moment when I really was close to a heart attack....then he asked Richie to come onstage again. I only heard Jon saying "never say goodbye" - and the rest is somehow like a dream. I still wouldn't know if it really happened or not if there weren't some 70.000 people who must have heard them playing NSG as well. I was totally overwhelmed (still am), even too overwhelmed to cry. I couldn't react in any way... and I still think if it was a dream, then, please, never wake me up. Tears are rolling now, while I'm writing this down. From now on every time I'll be listening to nsg it will take me back to five minutes in heaven, on my 40th b-day, which I was sooo afraid of. This was the best b-day gift ever, one of the things money can't buy. One of the 'once-in-a-lifetime'-experiences. Never say goodby has always been a special song to me, a song somehow expressing the entire jovi-feeling for me, since now about 12 years. But now it's not only a song, it's one of my most treasured memories. There are no words for my thankfulness and deep feelings. Thank you Jon - with all of my heart. PS: Did I say my 'diehard'-times are over? Well, don't quote me on that. Last edited by jerseylady; 06-05-2006 at 09:08 AM..
