The Soundtrack of the Day is:

Bon Jovi
11 June 1987
Kansas City, Missouri 🇺🇸
🏟️Slippery When Wet Tour

It wasn’t their first show in Kansas that year, but it would quickly become their most memorable one! 

In the second song, I’d Die For You, the power shuts off, and Jon Bon Jovi – struggling with serious voice-issues on the tour- finishes the song acapella.
“You guys were so excited you blew out the electricity tonight, huh?”
he welcomes the crowd.
Adding that it will take a little bit more than that to blow his fuse! 
And a little bit more, he certainly gets.

Referring to the Kansas concert they had given earlier that year, he asks if they have been keeping up with the newspapers, and the then brand new organization PMRC and others who claim rock n’ roll is devil’s music.
Jon ensures them they’re just aiming for a little bit of a smile, a big sweat and a good time.

The next song is You Give Love A Bad Name, which is halted by Jon when he sees a fight has broken out:
“Stop! Stop! Stop!”
Which stops the music, and I expect also the fans.

Jon addresses this is exactly the type of behavior why people say rock n’ roll is no good.
“How can we have a good time when you guys are hitting each other?”
He brings a victim on stage and asks “are you okay?”, before continuing the song.

The next song is Wild in the Streets, and after that Jon ascends flying over the crowd, playing a rare acoustic version of Twist and Shout, and Never Say Goodbye from a stage high up, in the back of the venue.

Mid Livin’ on a Prayer, the show is halted again as Jon tells the crowd that he’ll come back to sing in 15 minutes, unless they continue hurting themselves.

And back he comes! 

With a nice apology, and a proposal to start over.
Get Ready kicks in, and the show steams through like nothing ever happened, including a FULL encore, ending with another apology, the cover Drift Away acapella and closing with Travelin’ Band together with the band Cinderella.

And whatever the devil had planned that night? 
It had not come past Jon Bon Jovi.

I did yoga with the show 11 June at the Kemper Arena!
1 hour 40 minutes in which I did schedule 14 + 1 from

+ relaxation during the encore.

I loved doing it, but in the 24 hours after, on Sunday, my life seemed to unfold in diabolical ways!
So whatever forces unleashed the chaos at the Kemper Arena?
They are still alive today.
