Went to see Bon Jovi in concert last night at St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton.
I really enjoyed it, as I would expect to, especially with the company I was keeping on the night. If I had any complaints it would be that it felt a little short compared to 2006 in Manchester and a very similar running order. A few songs dropped out and replaced by Lost Highway tracks.
Set List:
LH - LOST HIGHWAY
NJ - BORN TO BE MY BABY
SWW - YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME
SWW - RAISE YOUR HANDS
BJ - RUNAWAY
KTF - I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD w/ Mercy & Start Me Up
LH - WHOLE LOT OF LEAVIN'
KTF - IN THESE ARMS
C - CAPTAIN CRASH & THE BEAUTY QUEEN FROM MARS
LH - WE GOT IT GOIN' ON
C - IT'S MY LIFE
KTF - KEEP THE FAITH
NJ - I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU - RICHIE VOX
YG - BLAZE OF GLORY
HAND - WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T GO HOME
HAND - HAVE A NICE DAY
NJ - BAD MEDICINE w/ Shout
SWW - LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
ENCORE:
CR - ALWAYS
LH - ANY OTHER DAY
SWW - WANTED (DEAD OR ALIVE)

Warby (Mark) is off to the Manchester gig tonight…and the git has a backstage pass!!
How is it Warby gets all these Backstage passes…?
The gig is this Sunday coming.
Backstage passes, yeah I know. Two mates of his work for promoters or something, and he probably moans so much they give him a pass to keep him quiet!!!
I need to make him my new best friend!
Can’t believe what a memory you have Chris…..
Just looked back to what they played in Manchester and you were right – barring a few changes – it’s virtually the same gig – not that it matters to me though – could watch JBJ all day every day! Do think Stadium of Manchester is a better venue than St Mary’s though! But hey – you got everything else better down there!
It just felt that way on the night. To be fair, when you have the specific hits that people expect to be played it’s going to be hard. That said – more of an order change would help.
