Back in December I caused a bit of a ruckus for an article I wrote about the Bon Jovi fan club at this link. I twas the most read post I've done in the history of the blog. It still gets close to 100 hits per day. I was sought out after it was posted and asked to be interviewed for four different publications, but I turned them all down, I said what I wanted to say and I believed that was enough.The actual show that came about occurred last night in New Jersey and it looks like it was quite an event I am happy to report. I wasn't there and I have received some conflicting set list reports. Here is the latest I received:
So You Want to Be A Rock and Roll Star
This Time Its For Real
Runaway
I Get A Rush
Garageland
Lost Highway
Don'T Leave Me Tonight -
Head Over Heels For You
Midnight In Chelsea
Janie Don't You Take Your Love to Town
Every Word Was A Piece of My Heart
Broke Down Piece of Man
All I Want Is Everything
Whole Lot of Leaving Going On
Bang A Drum
Never Say Die
Billy Get Your Guns
Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
Wanted Dead or Alive
I Love This Town
Just Older
Who Says You Can't Go Home
I could have done without the last five songs, but hey, there's a reason to rejoice, a show without "Bad Name" or "It's My Life". It looks like a very solid and varied show with songs going back as far as 1980 which can only be found on the Power Station Demos.
One initial setlist had Southside Johnny's "Without Love", but the above does not, so I'll wait and see what other reports come through. Apparently fan club members received a bag with a t-shirt in it, some other goodies and are apparently going to receive a CD of the show (conflicting reports on this...anyone want to confirm). I also saw one report with the Lost Highway bonus track, "Lonely".
If you saw the show and wanted to tell me about your experience, email me: thescreendoor AT gmail DOT com.
