your first Jovi concert?

Hearing ALL EIGHT of those songs in the encore in a row would have me on the floor convulsing and going out of control. Just sayin'

My first show will be this year, on May 10th in Columbus. I'm going with one of my best friends and we have third row circleside. We're both 16

I agree. This is probably the best set list ever.

Mine was in Dallas, 2001.

I had to check if I accidently clicked on the "Your dream setlist" thread.

My first Bon jovi gig was at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow in 1996. Was an amazing show. Gun and Skunk Anansie were the support acts.

i still haven't seen them live, i hope that there's someone who can take me to Zeebrugge

I got to the 2nd (last) night at Wembley in 2000. I was 14, it was my first concert and Wembley's last. Toploader were supporting. When we bought our tickets we couldn't find anyone who knew who toploader were, then they released 'dancing in the moonlight' and by the time of the concert everyone was already sick of it! I remember when the tickets were delivered, and how I treasured them.

When I looked back at the setlist on Seb's site it looks kind of average, but those 3 encores felt like forever, the feeling of standing with so many fans was incredible and I felt homesick for that concert for weeks.

A bunch of my friends turned on me that summer, and started bullying me. However lonely that made me feel, I also knew that there were 80,000 Bon Jovi fans who felt the same way I did when Livin On A Prayer had opened that set.

I didn't have much cash in the following years, so I had to miss a couple of tours out, but I got to Hyde Park and the CD:UK taping (which I half-expected would turn out to be a practical joke!). Last summer I went to 6 of the o2 shows, and my rent cheque bounced. This summer I'm counting down the days til Hyde Park.
