Neat Thing Number #2
BON JOVI CONCERT!
All I can say is that it was awesome! We had great seats. We were in the first row behind the floor seats, so there was a wide aisle between us and the floor. Before the show started, we noticed that security was gathering near our seats, and we weren't really sure why. A security guard came up to our row and told us that Jon Bon Jovi was going to pass right by us. Basically he was letting us know that if we decided to lunge at Mr. Bon Jovi that we would be taken down...
The guy sitting next to me was so excited by the news I thought he was going to pee his pants. The concert started, and there was Jon Bon Jovi literally about 20 or 25 feet away from us performing on a tiny stage in the middle of the venue. He sang two songs and then he started to head toward the main stage - which is why he had to pass by us. Doug had the camera and tried to take a picture. He was so excited (Doug's got a slight "man-crush" on Jon - LOL!) he only got a "torso" shot. Here it is...
Yep - he only got him from the neck down. But right after this picture was taken, Jon Bon Jovi did walk right past us, he reached out his hand and Doug and I both reached out ours to shake his. I actually touched Jon Bon Jovi's left hand with my left hand. Doug got to shake his hand too. Wow - that was SO cool!
Jon Bon Jovi reached the main stage, and the whole group put on the best performance! And Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland surprised the audience by coming out and performing two songs with the group. I have been a Bon Jovi fan for 20 years and I am so glad I got to see them in person!
7 Kind Words:
WE WENT TO THAT CONCERT ALSO!!!!!!!! Wish we knew you back then! Our seats weren't as good as yours, but my gawd was that a GREAT show! I called my best friend and held my cell phone up during Dead or Alive.
Wasn't it too cool when thousands of people screamed "seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all" at the exact same time??!!
Oh, I still get chills.
I promised my son I would bring him to see them the next time they come to Atlanta (now that I know what a clean show they put on!)
I Love Bon Jovi too!! Now I've got him in my head. Thanks for that. ha!
man crush eh?? LOL You guys are a hoot!

Great pix! So jealous that you both got to touch Jon-I saw him this tour in Buffalo, Pittsburgh and finally the last show at giants where 14 of my Jovi and I met up from all across the country and one from the UK! He puts on anawesome show!
I am so jealous!!!
J :o)
VERY COOL! That is definitely a great thing to remember!
Woohoo! What a great 'neat thing' Hey, none to shabby on the torso shot ;0)
Ok...we clearly have different tastes in music, but it still sounds like a cool show.
I think I sold my vinyl copy of Slippery When Wet at the last garage sale.
