Ok night number 2 saturday night. Of both nights i really think Saturday's set list was much better but just my opinion. Jon seemed to just really feel so much more comfortable on Saturday than Friday night and just in a great mood overall...
So i arrived at the Honda Center later than the previous night no biggie. I had ticket only so was really worried about where my seat was. I didn't need to worry. Got my ticket and reached into the envelope to find Section 101( not richie's but it's ok Hugh's side) then Row 10 so that meant last row of first section before the walkway so yes...seat 14 inside isle near the center section. I really liked this seat so much better than Fri night too..i think too cuz of the platform was about 10 feet from me as well...where Jon does his solos...
So i noticed the air conditioning was is on unlike the previous night...much much more comfortable inside...i was asked to open my purse going in (same guy as the previous night maybe he realized his mistake) he asked me if i had a camera i said no (i had mine hidden at the bottom of my purse) tough **** like i would go to Bon Jovi without a camera as if lmao....
Chris was good yet again but i was so sore from the night before and the fact Fri night's show they started out with 6 majorly fast songs...so other than 2 songs i sat for most of Chris' set...
I was lucky with my ticket my friend who had ticket only was row 14 both nights i felt bad for her. Anyways once the guys took the stage i could tell we were in for an awesome show. We got Garageland (song of the box set) and i filmed it at first i thought Becky got her song request but oh well it was still good...
When Jon was on the platform he was so close to me and at one point he sang right at me but i was fiddling with the camera (duh go me to get a picture) it's ok though...lmao
I did manage to get I Love This Town on film the signs that i wanted from the previous night as well as the Honda Center Bon Jovi one :) Yay
So anyways it comes time for Livin On A Prayer and there's this huge debate on the fan club board does Jon start out with his left foot/leg or right...well i could have sworn that Fri night he started with left foot/leg but was i really paying attention since tonight he starts with his right. So i'm mimicing him and holding my cell phone in the air. I can see him watching me out of the corner of his eye (i'm the only one doing it with him.) so during the chorus he reaches out his arm and outstretch his left hand and sings right at me "Take my hand we'll make it i swear"...i scream and the girl in front of me turns around and goes he did that right at you. I"m like duh i know lmao...highlight of the night.
So after the song is finished encore time....seems to take forever before they come back on stage and what to my astonashment is being played but Halleljuah which i had again requested on the fan club board in my first post for the weekend songs i wanted to hear....so i start filming and i had tears in my eyes as i was seeing hearing this done live in front of me.
All in all another great night. Now Wed can't get here soon enough. Staples Center and i have Package again with the side stage i can not wait. I was so nervous about the whole side stage experience but it was so nice and i was only missing 2 songs once i was up on the side stage it was so worth it to me....
