With hits like ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ and ‘Runaway’, Bon Jovi is one of the world’s most popular and iconic rock bands. The New Jersey-based outfit is still going strong after years together and is a must-see concert experience for all fans!
The band hit the stage to a deafening scream, and the energy was high from the start. The two hour show was filled with classics and some of their more recent hits. The crowd went wild for all of it!
Jon Bon Jovi’s voice has been the subject of many complaints in recent years. Critics and more cynical fans have said that his voice has lost some of its power over the last decade or so. But Sunday’s show showed that he hasn’t completely lost his touch despite the criticism.
Throughout the concert, Bon Jovi’s huge hits dominated the setlist. ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’, ‘Runaway’ and ‘Always’ were all well received, and the crowd sang along with every word. ‘That’s What The Water Made Me’, an older ballad about growing up, also wowed the audience.
There was plenty of fire, pyro and smoke to add to the spectacle. The show also featured a lot of video screens with images of the band’s past concerts and music videos. But the most impressive display was an enormous network of lights, which lit up over the arena to display five large medical crosses and silhouettes of women doing the kind of jumping jacks, jazz hands and rump-wriggling that were popular in music videos when the band was at its peak.
Jon’s energetic personality shined through even though he doesn’t do any of the gyrations of his old self. He even got in a few jokes that made the crowd laugh.
Bon Jovi’s new lead guitarist Phil X has done a fantastic job filling in for Richie Sambora, injecting some freshness into the sound. And the band’s percussionist Everett Bradley is a godsend, bringing in the beat with his dutiful double-pedal work.
Overall, the night was a good showing for Bon Jovi and showed that their massive arena rock sound is still alive and well. Jon’s voice may not be as powerful as it used to be, but he has enough of a presence and the rest of the band is still rock-solid.
