25 Years & STILL Going Strong

Last night was the 4th time I have seen Bon Jovi live in concert. The first time I saw them was in Calgary when I was 11 years old. At that time none of my friends wanted to go see the concert, whereas I so desperately did. My dad decided he would go with me because I was too young to obviously go alone. I really wanted to go, yet at the same I DID NOT want to be caught dead with my dad in public! Ha ha ha! So what I did was decked my dad out in ripped, acid wash jeans and a jean-jacket that had writing and pins all over it and told him for that night, if anyone asked, he was my older brother! What a good sport he was! Thanks dad!! :)

About 15 years ago Bon Jovi came to Vancouver and I was pumped to see them again. At that time Jamie had never seen a concert before, so I took him with me. What a great first concert.

Right before we left for Japan some of my girlfriends and I drove down to see them in Seattle. That was one of the most nostalgic shows I have ever seen. Last night's performance wasn't any different. The played for 3 hours, The first hour they played the whole entire "Lost Highway" CD and then for the remainer of the night they played the rest of their greatest hits ranging from 1983 - 2007. IT WAS AMAZING!

I am not going to lie...I have been to quite a few concerts in my lifetime and JBJ is extremely entertaining and it is obvious how passionate they are about their fans and their music. I swear Mr. HOTTIE Jon does 3 hours of cardio everyday!! He was running around, jumping up and down, pumping his arms in the air and didn't lose his breath once. For a 45 year old man...this guy is getting better and better looking AND sounding with age. Their show is definitely in my top 3 BEST concerts of all time!

Here are some pix I took. We had sweet seats!!! The pictures aren't the best quality given the lighting, but they give you a good idea of how much fun we had.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT TIME LADIES!! :)
