Bon Jovi at Twickenham
29th June 2008
Well, had a great time seeing Bon Jovi live at Twickenham on Friday. We managed to get 6 rows from the front this time, fantastic view, although why do I always seem to pick the bit with the tall people in front of me!
They had Stewart Mac who was fantastic, they won a competition to be a support act. Then was Biffy Clyro, who can only be described as bloody awful… the cheer that went up when they announced that it was their last song was funny!
Then on came Bon Jovi, loosing track now but I think it was the 6th or 7th time of seeing them. I think this was way up the top along with Hyde Park in 2003!
I know I’ve been to:
These Days Tour - Wembley 1995
These Days Tour - Milton Keynes 1996
One Wild Night Tour - Milton Keynes 2001
Bounce Tour - Hyde Park 2003
Lost Highway Tour - The O2 2007
Lost Highway Tour - Twickehham 2008
I missed the Crush tour at Wembley because I was in Greece at the time and I sold the tickets to the Have a Nice Day tour as I couldn’t go.
No where near the longest set I’ve seen Bon Jovi play, but was still a great one. Hearing Dry County live for the first time in years was simply stunning. The set list was:
PRAYER
BAD NAME
LOST HIGHWAY
BORN TO BE MY BABY
CAPT. CRASH
RUNAWAY
SLEEP w/ Twist & Shout & Start Me Up
BLAZE OF GLORY
WHOLE LOT OF LEAVIN’
DIAMOND RING
ALWAYS
IN THESE ARMS
WE GOT IT GOIN’ ON
IT’S MY LIFE
I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU - RICHIE VOX
DRY COUNTY
HAVE A NICE DAY
FAITH
WHO SAYS YOU CAN’T GO HOME
BAD MEDICINE w/ Shout
ENCORE:
HALLELUJAH
WANTED
So on to the next tour then. Hopefully not too long to wait this time!
Photos: Take a look at some photos taken with my iPhone (I’ve always been a defender of not having a good camera in the iPhone as if I need to take good photos I use my dSLR, however when you’re somewhere when you can’t take an SLR a good camera in a phone is essential!)
