80s Concert Pictures thread
 
I'm going to post a couple of concert pictures from the 80s tours in this thread, starting with:

Couple of pictures from their concert in Eilenriedehalle, Hannover, Germany on December 3rd 1986. Interesting to see Jon wrapped in the US flag during the European leg, it makes me question if these really are from Hannover though I find the stage a bit too small for it to be an arena.

Two pics from their show in Dortmund the day before on December 2nd, 1986. The first one is taken from a German site and the second one is a low resolution image from who knows where.

Pretty sure they played the smaller part of the Eilenriedehalle in 1986 (section B I think). Just like they played a smaller arena inside the Westfalenhallen complex and not the bigger one like in 1988 and 1993.
There was a pretty big US military complex stationed in the city, so Jon took the US flag because of that. He did the same at the Monsters of Rock in Mannheim 1986.

Thanks for the info! :) I know they played Westfalenhalle 3 but didn't know about Eilenriedehalle section B.

Pretty sure this one is from the Raritan Manor 1988.

Damn, only DM 36,- for a concert ticket - lucky people who got to experience that!

They should start selling those white snapbacks on their website, I'd love to have one.

Jon actually apologized to the fans for the ticket prices being so expensive during a concert in Bradford 1986. They were £7,50.. :D Even with inflation that is a fragment of the amount I'd pay to see that concert.

Oh wow £7.50… Nowadays you could maybe get a drink or two for that price [emoji28]

Upon first view, I'd have said this is from 1985.

I found the original listing for the photos (found a few more too, added to the original post) and the seller mentions having got them from the photographer who said it's from the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, so he assumed it's from 87-3-2x (when they headlined the omni) and that's where I got the date from as well. I did initially find odd that the BON JOVI sign is not printed on the floor, it always was in the North American headlining tour.

But now that you mention Vince Neil, when Bon Jovi made an anniversary post for SWW on facebook asking people to comment their favourite memories from the tour (and me being a lunatic I scrolled through all the comments), I remember reading that one person saw them open for .38 Special and Vince Neil got on stage with them.

It's pretty likely it's Vince Neil on the photos, and the photos were actually taken on Sept. 27 1986, but I ought to dig that comment up again to confirm.

Interesting! September 27th is the day Cliff Burton of Metallica died. That's an odd coincidence.
That whole 38 Special tour is a bit of a blur. So is the Judas Priest tour actually.

This thread is the reason I keep coming back to this forum. Very curious about your update. Also - that's Phil Collen playing one of Richie's Kramer guitars. I didn't know they had played together in Paris. Any info on this gig?

And here we go: https://youtu.be/K5MOiPqO4J0?t=4423
They did the Boys Are Back in Town!

FighterBJ 05-13-2022 03:16 PM

Indeed, Phil also joined them a day earlier (Nov 27) in Arnhem, NL (Boys Are Back was played there as well).

About Vince Neil appearance:
I found the facebook comment, the person stated he saw the show after Atlanta (in Pelham), on September 28th and Vince Neil made a guest appearance. No particular info on the song played, but Jon is also playing guitar on the pics, so it's most likely YGLABN or an extra song, probably a cover.

From all this info, I say the photos are from Atlanta (per the photographer stating they are from the Omni Coliseum) and Vince Neil also joined them there - Alabama and Georgia aren't that far apart so that is pretty possible IMO. :)

Various tumblr, instagram, facebook etc pages of photographers or fans.
It's mostly that I sit down looking for pictures of Sapporo '85, Bradford or Copenhagen '86, or Saarbrücken '88 and end up a good bunch of these after an hour or two of digging (can never find anything from those shows though). :D
