I think one of them is yours Nige.

Bon Jovi - Milton Keynes Bowl - 19/08/89 (As broadcast by the BBC)

Indeed it is and the sad thing is that I can't remember if mine is the better one of the two or not.

Either way it was a great, albeit short, show.

Thank god it was after sitting through a whole lot of garbage support

Was just gonna ask if this was part of some radio event because for a single headliner show the setlist seems quite short. Even for promo standards.

Yeah was a multi artist show for Capital FM (They'd never get anywhere near them these days). Had the likes of Toploader, the Appleton sisters, Mike and the Mechanics amongst others. It was a long slog!

I quite enjoyed Mike and The Mechanics, didn't mind Toploader but the Appleton sisters were truly dreadful and received the worst reaction from an audience I have ever seen.

Saw Toploader support Jovi around 1999ish at Wembley.

I went to the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball last year (in other words, a similar show by the same organizer, targeting the mainstream demographic), which had Taylor Swift as a headliner (who did 9 songs), and support acts Sam Smith, The Script, Anne Marie, Mabel, Tom Walker, among others. The audience had mostly teenagers a few young adults like me.

I felt like sharing this to give some context, illustrating how big Bon Jovi must have been in the mainstream still in 2002, at least in the UK. As you correctly pointed out, they would have no chance to be booked for something like this.
