Hiding in the back of the tour bus?

Yup the front row well front row in front of the catwalk. So when Jon came out to do Hallelujah and then Richie joined him for "I'll Be There For You" and then the whole band for "Something for the Pain" and "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night" i was technically front row. I was in the same spot as Anaheim night 1 as well. There's video from this show of Jon coming on the catwalk during "Love's The Only Rule" where he gets down on his knees then gets up and then bends down face to face with me for a few seconds and starts to sing to me. I was totally taken aback by him doing that i wasn't expecting it. I couldn't get a picture fast enough but there is video of my "moment". All i remember is his baby blue eyes in front of me and him singing.

I love Hallelujah and Jon gets so into this song. I was just watching him and the way he uses his hands in this song. There were teleprompters below me and on the other side of him as well. He and the band used them while up on the catwalk and he did use the teleprompters from the main stage as i would get tons of smiles and eye contact.

Funny thing was i was in the same spot for Anaheim night 1 and Richie gets up on the catwalk right in front of me and first words out of his mouth were "I need to pull up my pants" and pulls them up. Of course everyone in the Honda Center laughed and Jon seemed to wait for him to pull up his pants but unless you were down by me you had no idea what he said or said that to me directly. I managed that night to get amazing pictures of him smiling directly at me. I am so proud of those pictures. They turned out amazing.

Staples was fun just for the fact i enjoyed the whole catwalk experience better than Anaheim without the pushing and shoving going on. Plus i think i messed Richie up on the lyrics and that alone was really funny. Poor Tico he kept trying to get my attention but i kept looking at Richie and then finally at Jon. But seeing Jon do Hallelujah so close is just amazing. I am super glad that song is done on the catwalk.

Front row in front of the catwalk was just wow. I was glad i was there instead of regular front row. The main stage was set up much higher and the PIT alot lower then the catwalk. So in some ways front of the catwalk had the best view in my opinion. Plus the teleprompter below me when Jon would use it of course. :) I'll never forget technically i can say i was front row at a Bon Jovi concert.

Honey you weren't just front row you were right in front of "The Man"!! That looks like the perfect night for you, congratulations!

Have you ever had that good of a spot before? I know you are always close to the action but that is almost on top of the action:)

It sounds like the perfect evening and thanks to Matt you have proof!

[madmonkeygirl]

No this tour the arrangement was different. Yes i had front row in front of "The Man" i can't tell you how surreal it was to be that close to almost reach out and touch him. There is video from Love's The Only Rule where Jon is singing right at me at one point even though it was a matter of seconds it seemed so unreal and it was totally unexpected. He totally caught me off guard.

But anyways because the new album is titled "The Circle" the setup was basically that. The main stage this time was higher than normal and then the PIT for those lucky enough to be inside the circle BUT i wouldn't have traded my spot for 2 nights to be inside the circle when i was where i was. The outer circle ramp catwalk and thus the Circleside seats. I was so extremely amazed and I've been a bit a couple rows further back from front row before but never "Front Row"

[madmonkeygirl]

Ya my pictures of Jon i didn't zoom in at all but they look like he's above me and when the whole band was there Richie was in front of me so his pictures seem more normal. Jon was on an angle.

[MouseWife]

Awesome shot!!! Yay!! So glad you had such fun, you deserved to be right THERE!

[madmonkeygirl]

Awww ty i worked hard to save up for those tickets thru the fan club. I am so proud of my catwalk pictures. Especially the Richie ones from night 1 Anaheim of him smiling right at me. Staples it was more like Jon was from the catwalk this time rather than Richie even though i did get a ton of Richie pictures...lol which is fine by me because i like them both. With each show i thought couldn't get better but between the setlist and all my moments it did all the way thru even the Vegas show. :)
