Bon Jovi!


Emily and I went to the Bon Jovi concert last night and had a great time! After work, we had dinner and happy hour drinks at Vapiano's. They were playing all Bon Jovi songs, so it was the perfect setting to get in the mood.

Dashboard Confessional opened the show. They even played a cover of "Summer of '69," which they're apparently playing for an upcoming movie.

Then Bon Jovi came out in all his still-almost-'80s glory. The music just makes for a good show. And Bon Jovi knows how to perform. (He has had years of practice.) They played songs from the new album, "The Circle," and also from previous albums, including many of their old classics. I would go to a Bon Jovi concert each week, if they were in town (and if I could afford it).

Instead, I'll have to settle for once each time they're on tour. I'm thinking next time, maybe I'll try to drive up to New Jersey to see a show in his home state.
