Funny thing is, before I got myself a cheap ticket, if you had asked me if Bon Jovi were still touring I would probably have said No. Selling out an 80,000 seat staduim, your dreaming. Well in the emortal words of W Bush, I might have 'mis-underestimated' the old Glam rockers.
After watching the Munster Rugby team deal to the dirty cheese eating surrender monkeys from Barritz in the Hieneken cup final, I caught up with my mate Troy and his 2 Australian friends, Mark and Sarah to head to the gig. Moving straight into 2nd gear, Jim Beam was the order of the afternoon. A short cab ride and then a dodgie stroll through to Croke Park, we were greated with quite an array of Jovi supporters. From the very young, to ageing old mums squeezing into there leathers from the back of the closet, not the best look but rather entertaining.
The lads really put on a good show, but I really only new about 30% of the songs, but they did play some classics. Living on a Prayer, Dead or Alive and Shot thru the Heart! Special. See the videos below.
In the end, was really cool. But only issues i had with Jon.....No 'Blaze of Glory'. I was all ready to scream that puppy out, but no dice. Bastard even teased me with 3 bloody encores...I mean honestly who does 3 of them with out playing the best song they had!!!!!!! You could feel the pain in the crowd....or maybe it was just me. If there has been a bigger travisty in concert history i'd be dam suprised. But was a good night anyway. Croke park is one hell of a ground, and look forward to getting there for some sport, or even a bit of Billy Joel in July.
Next up the Munta weekend from Hell June 9 - Gunners and Metallica.
