The first concert I ever went to was back in grade 5, when I saw Bon Jovi (Skid Row opened) at the old Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. It was their "New Jersey Tour", and honestly it was such an incredible concert. Back in 2001, Bon Jovi played a show in Hamburg, where I was doing research for the summer at a Particle Accelerator . A few colleagues and I somehow talked ourselves into the show (the concert was being held adjacent to our experiment's building, and we flashed our badges with authority), and had a blast. They played a long set mostly of 'best of' stuff, but they rocked out. Incredible energy, it looks like they were still having a good time.
There's a certain kitsch associated with the band, but as time rolls on, it becomes clear that Bon Jovi are the new Rolling Stones. Here are some insightful articles about the band, one a review of the show in Jersey, and another from Chicago.
