Absolutley fantastic

Support band were nickleback another bonus, and it was a non stop evening...

Bonjovi were on at 8 and went for 2 1/2 hours non stop. All the favorites, keep the faith, bad medicine, livin on a prayer, etc. some stunning guitar work from Mr Sambora, and Mr Torres on drums...


well worth it, and one of the best ones to date

Nice to see there are still a few good live bands about. I went to see Santana the other week who were also excellent.

Chip

 

Friends of mine went to see them at Hampden last weekend, said it was fantastic. He had some girl up on the stage snogging him at one point

 

Shame Wembley fecked up otherwise I'd have gone - MK is cack in comparison

 

saw them in manchester. Fooking brill. My only problem was that the venue was way too big but other than that fantastic

 

GF went to city of manchester stadium to watch them, again she said they were excellent, although the queue (stationary as police closed it for ages to allow other car parks and side streets to empty first) to get out of the main car park was horrendous, took her 2 hours to get out of the car park!!

sounds about right. i was on a coach and we were stuck for aout the same time, till the driver decided to jump a curb and push thru.
If thats the way the traffic is going to be controled on match days well im glad i dont support man city.

 

I wanted to go to that. but couldn't.. I saw them at Hyde Park 2 years ago and they were fab - as always

 

Saw them in 1984 supporting Kiss at the Southampton Gaumont - I feel old!

 

The wife and I saw them last night in Milton Keynes................what a polished set, tight as **** and plenty of bass.

Very impresed with the band, disappointed with the so called "golden circle" still 30 metres from the stage..............!

The sound was awesome for an outdoor gig though I thought the venue was lacking in atmosphere, at least until it got dark then you could appreciate the lighting rig, simple as it was.

The band are getting on abit now though as some tracks were pretty slow ( runaway in particular) and at least 5 tracks were detuned so as not to strain a vocal.

Songs of the night for me - It's my life, rockin in the free world and story of my life, good ol 80's rock.

I'd see em again, but not there........!

Highlight of the night, the bloke with the "F*CK WEMBLEY" banner that flashed up on the big screen above the band, crowd went ape but BJ didn't have a clue.

C ya.

Si.

 

Saw them last wednesday night for my birthday at The Ricoh Arena, Coventry, absolutely fantastic, 4th time I have seen them and this was the best As for Nickleback :

 

Are they touring again next year? I'd love to go and see them but had a clash this weekend!

 

They tour every year

 

Watched Bryan Adams at St Jame's Park last Tuesday
played all the classics and Summer Of 69 was awsome


Mick

 

I play drums for a Bryan Adams Tribute band, RECKLESS.

69 always gets them going.........classic track with a subtle undertone...

Si.

 

He was playing near me last week but some numpty, who'd promised to but me a ticket, conveniently forgot to buy it

I was gutted

Would love to see Bon Jovi in concert

 

I took the GF to see Bryan Adams last week, it was a really good gig.

 

I was at Milton Keynes on Sunday, too. Great gig. Although I'm not a mega Bon Jovi fan, I'm an absolute sucker for Richy Sambora style guitar work.
I was hoping for a few pyrotechnics? Nickleback were excellent and audience interactive, could have done with a light show of their own, but they were a bit early for that and would not have been allowed to upstage Mr Jovi!
I'm knocking on a bit these days but I still pray that Mr Gilmour, Mason, Waters & Co will get back for the ultimate comeback! Got a feeling though, they may not be as good as some of the excellent Floyd tribute bands around now - eg Aussie PF and Think Floyd.

PS Total chaos getting out - glad I wasn't in the Scoob!

 

We went in scoob, parked in main carpark and arrived back in Stoke at 12:15am.

Luckily had been keeping an eye on BJ website so had an idea on setlist, called it right only missed 2 tracks.

Si.

 

Saw them at Wolveerhampton a couple of years ago and they were rubbish. Mind you, poor venue, poor organisation.

Before that at Don Valley in 95 they were great.


Heard nothing but good things about this tour though. Maybe I should have gone.

 

Would this be wolves footy stadium? I was there and thought it was a good set up

 

Yes it was.

People were still queing to get in when Bon Jovi had started! I thought it was a poor set, with little passion from the band.

Although I was comparing that to 95at Don Valley - they were a lot younger then

 

saw them on sunday at milton keynes too... was good, not as good as at wembley or cardif, but i think that is the bowl atmosphere, never quite as personal there..

still they were excellent as ever and will be back to see them AGAIN when they tour next..

got out really easy, was in car park A, went back to car, had summat to eat and drink, then drove straight out no probs at all, was back in northampton by 12!!

 

I saw them in Stuttgart a few weeks ago and they were fantastic, the stage was amazing, we had over 80k people at the open air concert which was on the beer festival site.

 

pics

 

Here are a few more

 

excellant pics mate . ooooooo brings back memories

 

I was at MK on the saturday...in my aged rockers outfit of a mullet and aviator sunglasses. This is the 3rd time I've seen them. The first was at MK in 2001, and was the best BJ gig I've been too (mainly because Matchbox Twenty were supporting). Wolverhampton was ok, but missed most of the support band 'live' because of the damned queues!!!. This one was good too. I parked in Wickes, and was out and off in no time. Back home by 12.10 (Notts)

 

Fantastic pics Wurzel, have sent my mum a link to the thread We were too far away to get any decent pics on the mobiles.

 

can any of the techno bods explain how those panels at the side worked?? they were translucent, but still managed to display pictures with clarity..

i have to wonder about there Logo this time round... seem to recall its very similar to one 'virgin' used for the film 'Electric dreams'
