Rocketh Hard!!

Dry County? Living in Sin? Blood on Blood? All in a DVD? Hell Yeah!!

Bon Jovi is back on tour for Lost Highway, their country-infected album. After a series of concerts with Kurt Johnston and other country musicians, the rockers took touring to a whole new level. They played songs we haven't heard live in years. Once again, Dave's keys dominates the concert, as his instrument sounds louder than any of the others.

The rhythm section of the band, Tico and Hugh, keep up the amazing hard work and Bobby Bandiera does an amazing job as well, playing a couple of solos himself.

And do I have to say his name? RICHIE SAMBORA.

This guy and his hats and his guitars all lined up at Madison Square Garden. Starting with insane shredding to his country picking and all the way to his "I'll Be There For You" bluesy guitar and vocal talent, this man steals the show!

And Jon Bon Jovi- This guy is probably one of the hardest working rockers out there. He's so amazing. His dance moves don't fail him as he jumps to the groove of "We Got It Going On" and the cold anger oozes from his voice in songs like "Dry County".

Overall, a must-watch concert!! Probably the best concert DVD of the year!

We love you, BON JOVI!!

The Last Great Bon Jovi Concert
allmoviesfan3 November 2022
JBJ and Richie Sambora up front, Tico Torres on the drums and David Bryan on keys with Hugh MacDonald and Bobby Bandiera also on stage, live from Madison Square Garden.

ALL the hits - including searing versions of 'Dry County', 'Blaze of Glory' and 'Livin' on a Prayer' + Richie Sambora singing 'I'll Be There For You' - this is Bon Jovi at their very best and, for mine, the last time they were a seriously red-hot band. The songs stand the test of time, and JBJ is a brilliant front man. His voice has dropped away markedly in recent years, and of course Richie Sambora - JBJ's right-hand man, as he says at one point - is no longer with the band so it isn't quite the same.

Ten years old now (where does the time go?) this is a great example of how good Bon Jovi were on stage.

Special shout-out to the guy in the front row wearing a suit. He appears on a handful of occasions and looks somewhere between 'thoroughly bored' and 'being held hostage and forced to attend a Bon Jovi gig' whilst everyone around him are having the time of their lives.
