What a trip. I just returned to New Jersey after an amazing night with my favorite rockers. Bon Jovi.
After being a long time fan, for the past 25 years, I finally saw them close the tour! A dream of mine came true, but without my best friend, who died on July 5th, 2011. We met through Bon Jovi's fan club 11 years ago.
Tonight's Set List included her all time favorite songs:
Blood on Blood
In These Arms
Superman Tonight
Born to Be My Baby
Tokyo Road / Secret Dreams.
Runaway
It's My Life
Mystery Train
Wild in the Streets
The Distance.
Prayer
Faith.
Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars
Blame it on the Love of Rock and Roll.
Sleep when I'm dead
Always
Wildflowers
Just Older
These Days
We got It Going On
Richie singing" I"ll be there for you"
Radio Saved my life tonight!
Bad Name
Who Says you can't go home!
Encore:
Halleliugh
Wanted
Here Comes the Sun.
Check out the Stage Setup:
*****
Tonight we arrived via Limousine, and were escorted to our front row center stage seats.
We were given the VIp passes, and wrist bands for later in the night when we would be allowed to sit on stage. Being both a huge and loyal fan of both Jon and Richie. I was tickled to get the chance to Meet both men when we took our tour backstage. They were both so warm and offered their condolences on the death of my friend. They autographed my jacket, and Photograph of the two us seen here:

They both even posed for a photograph with me.
The weather was hot and humid, but it did not stop me or any other crazy Bon Jovi from having a great night. The fans around me were some of the nicest people. It's like attending the Bon Jovi church of Rock N Roll. I am a proud member since 1983. Never in a million years did I think I would the one Jon picked out of the audience to dance with during Always. What a night to remember.
Richie looks dashing as he always has in a silver jacket, with blank demin pants, and the wanted cowboy hat. Jon's looking great in black pants with a red sleeveless muscle shirt. Dave is dressed in gray, with a beatles shirt on. Tico's looking dashin in black pants, and his muscle shirt.
The Fireworks at the end of the show:
But Bon Jovi has influenced my life in so many ways.
Their music saved me from being a runaway, from destruction, from losing my way, from giving up when things get hard.
I'm sorry about your friend. But what a wonderful experience! Music is where it's at.
ReplyDeleteShe loved Richie Sambora. She just never got the chance to meet him. We met through Backstage 11 years ago.
