Default Your favourite Bon Jovi memory?

I have a few, one special one was during the Crush tour, in Dublin, The concert went ahead despite the worst Lightning Storm in 12 years, during " Someday I'll be Saturday night " Jon stopped, the band kept playing, and he said;

" This song is for Phill Lynott and Elvis"

and just then a bolt of lightning ripped across the sky over the stadium,
the band stopped- the crowd stopped - and suddenly let out a roar that would have been heard around the country!

It had an amazing effect on the crowd and made the band play their hearts out, the buzz was so amazing I'm getting Goosebumps now just writing this!
Thats one special memory I have.

I can believe you it was weird !
For me it's just one second, during a show, when Jon smiled in my direction, i was really close, i can think and i want to believe it was for me, because I was moving a lot and shaked hands, (yeah, little bit hysterical ) so, well, i think it was for me, and THAT IS A really magical instant.

For me it's going to CD-UK and getting in the front row right in front of Jon. It was soooo fantastic and the best thing of all was he even spoke to me.

Mines would need to be during the gig at SECC, Glasgow, 22nd May 1993, when Jon came off the stage and over to the barrier and I got the chance to shake his hand and say a quick hello before he was whisked away by the bouncers (appropriate word eh, lol). That memory will stay with me forever.

Having waited for about 9 hours through some average bands and a hell of a long time standing, we were all wondering when they were gonna get on stage.......then the lights went dark and a silouette (spelling?) of them walking out to the stage could be seen on the big screen. And then, there they were, not singing, just standing in front of the curtain, looking out while the crowd went berserk, myself included.

A simple story, I know, but it was as special as anything else I'll ever remember.

My best moment would be out of....
Going to the universal appeal concert, thinking that there was no way that one wild night would get played....but at the time it was my absolute favourite song....
then they actually opened the concert with it!!

or

When my friends and I were at a club and a band took 1 request song, everyone was just yelling everything out, and I was yelling out Livin' on a prayer, and the band member said "I've made up my mind....we are playing livin' on a prayer" It was so awesome
