Concert review: Bon Jovi

My voice is a little rough today. But Bon Jovi is awesome!! Seriously, I was so tired today but it was totally worth it. I was a little concerned that the majority of the songs would be from the spanking new Lost Highway album, but I needn't have worried. They did some of the new songs but they also did a WHOLE lot of their back catalogue songs as well. And there aren't many bands with a back catalogue like Bon Jovi.

I think the highlights of the night had to be: Shot Through the Heart and Living on a Prayer. Also, Ritchie Sambora soloing I'll Be There For You was pure gold. I tried to record them on my cellphone but we were reasonably far back and it failed miserably. Was a little upset (but not very!) that they didn't do Always - my very favorite Bon Jovi song. But the rocking version of Living of a Prayer did make up for it quite a lot!

That and the two encores. The crowd loved it! (As did I) Especially when he appeared in the Crusaders jersey. It was a shame the whole thing had to end. We were in the stands and at the end everyone was up and dancing. They are pure talent!! Sambora had some ROCKING guitar solos.

Plus, look how good Bon Jovi looks for his age:

DAMN!!

One more for luck...haha

Currently: Flat hunting, hopefully our applications go through successfully.

Thrills!

Guess what? Guess what, guess WHAT??! For the first time EVER (or at least as long as I can remember) a TOTALLY hot awesome international act is coming to CHRISTCHURCH!!!! (Take that Auckland and your crappy Vector Arena!)

BON JOVI is coming to Christchurch on the 27th of Jan. BON FREAKING JOVI!!! That makes me want to squeal and jump round all over the place. The man is HOTT. And yes, he deserves two "t"s for that. Not to mention that the band are just freaking awesome anyway.

I so want to go! Isaac will kill me, he hates it when I love all over famous people. But it's BON JOVI.
