Bon Jovi
Opener: Eve 6
Opener: Eve 6
Marcus Amphitheater
July 8, 2001
Age 18
This was my first of many, many Bon
Jovi concerts. I had no idea who Bon
Jovi was until “It’s My Life” came out in 2000.
I remember watching them perform on the Rosie O’Donnell show and thinking that they were amazing. My sister was like “Hey idiot, here’s their greatest
hits CD”. Then I realized who they really were.
The first time I saw them was at the Marcus Amphitheater and I went with my sister to the show. I definitely fell in love with Bon Jovi after this show, my sister though, refused to see them ever again! Apparently they didn’t sing one of their main hits (I can’t remember which one) and she swore off them and to this day has still not seen them again! I have gone on to see them countless times. I love going to their concerts because the crowds are so diverse and everyone knows every word to the songs and sings them so passionately. It's a great experience.
The main memory I take with me from this concert is not exactly a pleasant one though. We had parked a little over two miles North of the amphitheater. When walking to the show, a man came at me and thankfully my sister pulled me away in time. There’s more to that story, but it’s very disturbing and I'm grateful I was too young at the time to understand how disturbing it was. Let’s just say I refuse to walk alone, in the dark, on secluded pathways anymore (a good rule of thumb for anyone). I also got stuck with scars on both my feet! I wore these leather mules (stupid I know) and they cut into both my feet and to this day, the scars are still there.
Besides the craziness before and after the show the main point is that the concert was amazing! All that stuff happened and it still could not stop me from falling in love with Bon Jovi.
It almost looks like Jon isn't wearing any pants right here, but he is, just some really really tight ones!
Richie and Jon singing together. I hope one day they can get back together, they are such a great match.

Eve 6 was their opener. I'm a huge fan of them and they were awesome.
