Major League Baseball All-Star Game Concert on TV?
 

Will the Major League Baseball All-Star Game Concert with Bon Jovi also be broadcast on TV on July 12 in New York's Central Park?:confused:

In the press conference, the mayor said no to that question and Jon also shook his head no.

oh :(

I can tell the world at least i'm tryin' ...

a webcast on mlb.com?

If you used the search function you'd know it will not be webcasted or broadcasted.

That doesn't make any sence to me. How do they make there money by playing a free concert if they won't even make a dvd or have a live brocast. Hopefully there will be good video's on You Tube.

A DVD release!?

Lets not forget thats its been said before the DVD may not be one concert but may have aspects culled form others shows - hopefully ones from Europe!!!

Jon mentioned in the Mayor's press conference that the band would be recording the CP show since they record all their shows. Then in the Fox News review that follows here - it says that the CP concert was filmed for TNT a US television station.

Richie Sambora Scores In Central Park

By Roger Friedman

It’s not taking away anything from Jon Bon Jovi’s amazing performance in Central Park last night to say that Richie Sambora almost stole the whole show with one song.

The occasion of course was Bon Jovi’s ebullient free concert in the park put together by Randy Phillips and AEG Live, and sponsored by a bunch of people like Bank of America. (They had huge white balloons with their logo emblazoned on them bouncing around.)

My old pal Mark Shimmel from Arista Records was there as part of the team to film the show for TNT.

There weren’t many celebs in the crowd as most were spending another summer Saturday in the Hamptons or Europe. But director Penny Marshall was rocking out (and crabbing too, ‘natch), and designer Kenneth Cole was spotted in the crowd.

And the crowd could not have loved the show more, except for Jon Bon Jovi. The movie star good looking rocker had a gigantic smile plastered across his face for the full two hours of his unyieldingly athletic, knockout show. If you want to lose weight, just reproduce Bon Jovi’s work out from one of his shows. He must lose ten pounds a night!

He also sings and sings and sings. Bon Jovi’s songs may not be particularly topical—they’re love songs—but they are wordy, old fashioned constructed numbers with real choruses and verses. And he sings almost all of it—from the declarations of “It’s My Life” to the cha cha of “Keep the Faith.” And in between he throws in snippets of “Shout” and “Twist and Shout.”

But then there’s Richie, sporting a fedora, looking and sounding healthier than ever. And maybe it will come out in the filmed version of the show, but his lead vocal on “I’ll Be There for You” (not the Friends theme!), was the surprise highlight of the night. Richie has a beautiful rich R&B-like voice, very different from Bon Jovi’s. When it’s showcased, the fans go wild. And that was the case last night.

One interesting thing about Jon Bon Jovi: his songs and his performance just keep getting better with every year. You can’t say that about most rockers. But songs like “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” “Keep the Faith,” and “Have a Nice Day” are two decades older than his original material and better built to last.

Bon Jovi is a scrapper, too. Cast a little in Bruce Springsteen’s long shadow, he’s like the New Jersey Tony Bennett to the Boss’s Frank Sinatra. Unlike Bennett, though, Bon Jovi hasn’t had to wait — thank goodness — until his predecessor kicks the bucket to reap his deserved rewards.
