Your 'magic' moments

1. 08-11-1995, Marcus Amphitheater, Milwaukee, WI, USA: I had been to double digit shows already and loved every one. But I resigned myself to the fact that, while it was always fun, JBJ just didn't sound quite the same in concert as on record. On this night, they busted into Always and I was completely blown away by Jon's vocals. The outro literally made me say "wow." Didn't know that he could still do that. From Seb's site:

- During the outro of Always, Jon gave his all. Fans claim the version they did at Wembley stadium was the best Always ever but the one played this night was miles better with Jon giving everything he had.

2. 07-14-2008, Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, USA: Hearing Always again after so long was fantastic. But getting Dry County was amazing. When David played the opening chords, I couldn't believe it. Effing Dry County!

3. 07-15-2008, Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, USA: Sorry for the back-to-back nights, but these were epic shows for me. They played Make A Memory, and then Jon started Blood On Blood acoustically from the platform, 5 feet in front of us. One of my all-time favortite songs, and one of the best live versions I've seen as Jon made his way through the crowd. Awesome.

4. 07-31-2010, Solidier Field, Chicago, IL, USA: If Lovin' You Was Wrong leading into Damned on a perfect summer Chicago night. And another Dry County. Actually, both nights at Soldier Field were incredible.

Magic moments, well highlights for me are:

Being mad enough in 2001 to queue to every show and be on the front row (yes been there done that)
Getting a Richie plectrum in 2001
Hearing These Days each time is a special thing, this song is not my fave BJ song but it does have alot of memories.
Seeing Bon Jovi at Croke Park, one of my fave shows/trips.
Stick To Your Guns had the awe-factor in Amsterdam, likewise Bed of Roses in Frankfurt.
Let It Rock and Its Hard Letting You Go at the 02.
Hearing Hey God at Hard Rock Calling was just immense, was blown away by it, one song that has the wow factor at the moment.

They're a few highlights for me over the past years, I do have way to many to mention

Tokyo New Years Eve 1990.I was there and was blown away that night.

Nagoya Japan.1991.First time I heard them do "Wild is the Wind"

Melbourne Australia 17th October 1993 "Bed of Roses"

Wembley Stadium 25th June 1995 ."This Aint a Love Song"

Wembley stadium 20th August 2000 "Thank You for loving Me"

There are others but these stand out in my mind as my most earth shattering moments of my Bon Jovi experience.

I hate you

So many but a few that stand out...

The whole of Punchestown in 2008 just because it was literally down the road from home! If someone had told me when I was 11 that one day BJ would be playing down the road I'd have laughed and said they were mad! Made it really quite special...and esp JBJ's Hallelujah that night!Goosebumps!

Point Depot Dublin 1988 - just because it was Bj's first ever concert in Ireland and so my first time to see them too! Highlight there was definitely when JBJ 'flew' on his wire down to exactly where I was standing and they played WITW!!! Will never forget it!

Dublin 29/06 2011 - just because got to finally share my love of my favourite band with my little boy....always said I'd take him when he was 6 and so their timing to visit Ireland was perfect...he is not long gone 6!

Dublin 30/06 2011 - just because they played NSG...really can't remember if they played it before at their earlier concerts here and if they did I have heard it before but so badly wanted to hear it again....brought back memories of my Mum so really meant a lot...she passed away just last June...the 7th to be exact...the day I was meant to go see Bj open in the O2...so was sad and happy all at once hearing that one but glad they played it!

So many more but those stand out!
