Jon Bon Jovi and Friends review

Even after being home and back to normal life I'm finding it mighty difficult to put into words of the most amazing experience of seeing a Jon Bon Jovi and Friends solo show. It was my first and definitely will NOT be my last show. In fact I really think Jon was able to really let loose and play not only his favorite covers but the band's music as well.

My 6th row seat was PERFECT. The one and only time I really dressed up wearing a skirt and black with pink sequins top since everyone around me was either VIP's or paid big $$$$ to have the same seat area. I really think the lighting made my top sparkle even more so because I did manage not only David Cook's attention but of course Jon's.

I won't get into the negative aspects of my trip (with a so called friend of mine) nor being alone for most of my trip and sick but the show really made me forget everything. My signs (Ty Matt) were a big hit including during the cover song "I'm Your Man" when I held up my JBJ (heart)ALWAYS sign. He noticed it and put his hand over his heart, smiled at me, then shook his head while smiling and then I screamed and he had this huge grin/smile on his face.

I got a blurry picture of my moment but someone managed to get crystal clear pictures that she allowed me to have

Hearing Living On A Prayer acoustic and live just made me say OMG and when Jon held the one note for what seemed like eternity I just can't listen to the original the same way. Funny moment was during Lost Highway when he forgot the lyrics to the start of the 2nd verse. After the song ended he told the audience "when it comes to cover songs I can remember the lyrics but when it comes to my own songs I forget the lyrics".

I could go on and on but those are some of the highlights. He opened the show with So You Want To Be a Rock and Roll Star and ended the show with 634-5789.

I'm in the process of uploading my pictures onto Flickr. I took over 500 but about 360 came out. I would have taken more actually but was trying to enjoy the show as well.
