Cheap Trick and Bon Jovi (and others) - Ain't That A Shame / Not Fade Away.

Never seen this before...pretty cool.

Last night was JBJ concert #2 for JM Family Enterprises (Duluth, GA Infinite Energy Arena)...
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead was back... JBJ sounded a little tiny bit better than last week (still bad)

While we're always posting older videos of Jon and say how much he lost over the last couple of years - it just struck me how much Richie declined at almost the same moment.
This is from the show I attended in Munich 2012 - he was absolutely tearing the song apart!

F*cking hell, does this guy sound like prime-era Jon or what:

For me, the accent is the only thing that gives him away. The actual voice is very close - I mean, VERY close, similarly to Marc Martel vs. Freddie Mercury.

Great Aldo Nova video with aguest appearance by JBJfor Blaze of Glory near the end.

That shouldn’t have made me laugh but it did..

Easily the best BJ tribute band out there.

And they're gonna play their third (and last) Bounce and Orchestra show this December in the Grugahalle in Essen where Bon Jovi played 25 years ago. :)

Cool! Are you going? If so, please film it! :D

Yes and no.

I'll explain why, because this might sound selfish in the first place. I used to do that - twice at BJ concerts and at the first Orchestra concert in 2014 we were three people switching the filming job on each song.
What I always ended up with was that sort of "empty" feeling, because no matter how great the concert was, I just couldn't get into it. Any time a rare song comes up you're focused on getting the camera ready, getting a good and unobstructed picture, force yourself not to sing along and completely zone out of the show. I've found for me that it's not worth it to have the best songs as memories you watched through the display of your camera. I would've never loved Mannheim as much as I did, had I at any point tried to get photos or a video. These days when I leave a show, I want to have 2 or 3 hours of great songs behind me that I experienced and not 2 or 3 hours of material on my SD card. Might still sound selfish.

But the last one in 2016 was filmed completely by even two people and they'll both be there again. So I'm sure a video will turn up. Plus the band surely films it as well.
