Bon Jovi (2nd time)
Lost Highway Tour
Marcus Amphitheater
July 5, 2007
Age 24
My love of Bon Jovi continued in 2007 when I saw the band for the second time. They were on their Lost Highway Tour promoting their new album of the same name and performing at the Marcus Amphitheater during Summerfest. Now after the fiasco of seeing them the first time, when they did not play a specific song my sister loved and she swore to never see them again, I believe I went with my friend Shannon and possibly our other friend Jodie. Sometimes I can have so much fun enjoying the music that I forget who I went to concerts with (which is not something I am proud of). Anyways, Shannon and Jodie are Bon Jovi fans like myself so we are just going to say they were with me that night!
Bon Jovi played for over two hours that night, and while they did play some songs off of Lost Highway, it was a very heavy "hits" setlist, which of course is not a bad thing at all! My favorite of the night was "Wanted Dead or Alive" and can I just side note that man I miss Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi together. I will forever hold out for a reunion of those two!
Back to the concert though. Bon Jovi always throws in some cover songs during the set. That night they did a classic, one of the best songs ever in my opinion - "Hallelujah" by the great Leonard Cohen, such a beautiful song. Bon Jovi then went in the total opposite direction and closed the night out with "Twist and Shout". As corny as that song may sound, it fits the band and they get every fan in the crowd throwing their hands up and dancing.
Below are some pretty horrific pictures of that night. Keep in mind that I was way up in the bleachers and zooming as much as possible, plus its 2007.
And yes, there are multiple more Bon Jovi concerts to come!
