Welcome to this renewed and rebooted daily Bon Jovi blog!
Since yesterday, this is also the complementary blog for  #dailybonjoviyoga on YouTube.

Every day you get:
(1) a story
Ranging from anywhere between
– a 2000 word blogpost, lavishly wrapped under, over and around, all things yoga and Bon Jovi;
– to refreshingly missing!

The blog is always three parts, with the story as the closer, at the bottom of this post.

Today’s post is called Mistakes are a good thing.
Which is the fourth title…. I changed it up over the course of today.

I’m sure I will make a good story out of it, but mostly this title is chosen because it is what I need to hear myself, today.
And maybe that is reason enough:
Mistakes are a good thing, because if we label them anything else, it freezes you, and it keeps you from doing in this life, what you came here to do.
If you do anything else but embrace your mistakes, they have the power to break you.

And next to the story, every post also brings you: 
(2) a Bon Jovi concert, a soundtrack for today
Which is then also added to the YouTube playlist
Bon Jovi concerts on this day

+
(3) a yoga practice you can do, based on the day of the week.
Pulled straight from day-by-day Rock Star Yoga/ #dailybonjoviyoga blueprint
And yesterday I ve also picked up yoga for YouTube!!

So today is July 30!
Let’s dive in: What is the yoga for today?
What is the Bon Jovi concert or concerts, on this day?

🧘🏽🤘🏽#dailybonjoviyoga 

As of yesterday, there are 3 different options, which firstly in helicopter view are:

option 1.
do yoga on your own, themed day by day

This is the only option where you get a “freestyle” (do yoga on your own) option, which means you can do yoga with Bon Jovi music.
The two other options are guided practices only.
Which would be hard to follow along, if you have Someday I’ll Be Saturday Night blasting through your speakers simultaneously. 

option 2.
pick one of the programs

option 3.
New! Do yoga with me on YouTube, or get inspired by my other yoga plans today, if I know I won’t be creating a new video.

Three options to kickstart, reboot or rock, your yoga.
Let’s go!

option I:  themed day by day

Every day of the week, the Rock Star Yoga/ #dailybonjoviyoga is themed differently:

Monday: Find What Feels Good
do yoga with:🥤 Yoga with Adriene channel
or playlist 1: 🍭 Yoga with Adriene – selection
or playlist 2:🌱Yoga with Adriene Yoga for New Beginnings
or do hatha yoga with 🚧Slippery When Wet album🚧 or 🏟️Slippery When Wet tour🌎

Tuesday, showtime! New Jersey Syndicate Tour
do yoga with: 🕉️Ashtanga Yoga and  🏹 Rocket Yoga playlist
or freestyle with 🇺🇸New Jersey album🫐🟦 or 🏟️New Jersey Syndicate tour🌎

Wednesday:  🌵🏜️🏍️Santa Fe Day 🦅🏜️🌵
choose a yin yoga/ relaxation video from the yoga playlist
or do relaxing yoga with 🏜️Blaze of Glory album🏍️
OR (new!) do yoga with the live Dry County and Santa Fe playlist!

Thursday, showtime! Keep the Faith/ I ll Sleep When I m Dead Tour
do yoga with: 🌊Shiva Rea playlist
or buy her 1999 double album 2h practice, Yoga Sanctuary
or freestyle with 🛐 Keep the Faith album✝️ or the 🏟️KTF tour🌎

Friday: 🍻 An Evening With Bon Jovi🎤
do yoga with: 💃🏽 Tara Stiles playlist
or do hatha yoga with a few songs from the Cross Road album or An Evening With Bon Jovi

Saturday: Showtime! Cross Road/ These Days Tour
do yoga with: 🌶️ Meghan Currie Playlist.
or freestyle with 🎸These Days album🚑 or the 🏟️ CR/ TD Tour🌎

Sunday: Vintage Yoga
do yoga with: 📺 Playlist Vintage Yoga Videos + tv 
or hatha yoga with 1⃣Bon Jovi- Bon Jovi album💘, 🌋Fahrenheit🔥 or concerts 🎛️1984🎴🏮-🦂🦂🦂-1985🌎

Or, choose the fast lane to enlightenment, with Guns N’ Roses Yoga.
Full story here: 
->  Free yourself. And have breakfast with the other guests.
| A Day or a Lifetime, of Guns N’ Roses Yoga

💀🌹🎸  Guns N’Roses Yoga
do yoga with: 🕉️Ashtanga Yoga and  🏹 Rocket Yoga playlist
or freestyle with a 💀🌹🎸 Guns N’ Roses album,
or a concert, for example: 💀🌹🎸 Guns N’ Roses – Paris 06.06.1992 
Or my playlist: Guns N’ Roses Groningen 2022 06 23

.

option II: week & month program

Dive in with the above schedule, or pick one of the two programs, which are designed in the same Monday to Sunday rhythm. So for example, every Saturday you’d get a Meghan Currie video:

4 Week Program (15-30 minute videos)
🕉 🎬 yoga playlist:
Rock Your Yoga: 4 Week Program {❤️🤍💙 est. July 4th, 2022}
Monthly playlist, with practices from 15-30 minutes.

Week Program (1 hour videos)
🕉 🎬yoga playlist: 7 Day Yoga Schedule | 1 Hour per day
Ongoing 7 day playlist, with practices of one hour.

Individual videos may be replaced when the original drops out or a better alternative is available, but the lists have a permanent status and you can count on them to stay up. 

option III:  Do Yoga With Me
(reboot yoga channels)

Yesterday was my long awaited return to the mat, as I decided to move my yoga from a personal practice (which I wasn’t doing anyway) to in front of the camera.

We all have other things to do during the day, right?
And in my case, I’ve realized I need the connection of creating for YouTube, more than I need introspection and solitude.
Being a writer, I’m already maxing out in the introspection and solitude department.
And don’t we all crave for connection at the end of the day?
This is your open invitation to join me and other Bon Jovi fans, on the mat.

#dailybonjoviyoga planning
Saturday night 30 July 2022:
🌎 international: create a 30 minute yoga video for my English YouTube
🇳🇱 Dutch: create first #dailybonjoviyoga video for my Nederlandse YouTube 

Subscribe to those channels to see the videos once they’re posted!

Advanced practitioner/ Teacher Notes { Saturday}

Since it is Saturday, the yoga video I make will be inspired by 🌶️ Meghan Currie.
Click the link to practice directly with a playlist with Meghan Curry videos.

I will be using my teacher’s manual:
In 2017-2018 I created an art project Het Yogaboek van Liefdeseend, that included 10 months worth of teaching schedules (link to my Dutch page with those schedules).
One block of classes was Meghan Currie inspired, and I will use those schedules to make today’s yoga videos.

—🤘🏾🧘🏾 🎶🎸 that was your practice for today 🤘🏾🧘🏾 🎶🎸—

The concert part!
What concerts were played on July 30? 

 

🗓️🎶🎸Bon Jovi July 30.

There are no pre-1997 concerts recording for July 30;
But there is one from the 27th!

🏟️ Cross Road/ These Days Tour
27 July 1995, Burgettstown, Pennsylvania 🇺🇸
Coca-Cola Star Lake Amphitheatre

YouTube upload by hAnD90:
Bon Jovi | Live at Coca-Cola Starlake Amphitheatre | Complete Version | Burgettstown 1995
(new link, original upload was replaced with a better remaster at 13 August 22 )

The recording is on YouTube multiple times, but was always labeled as “Pittsburgh”, not Burgettstown. 
Burgettstown is a district in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. 

YouTube channel hAnD90 remastered the video and audio, and writes about this concert*:
“I’d actually go as far as saying that the summer/fall of 1995 was the band’s best in their career.
There still was some of that youthful energy and hunger left, but they were really refined and matured in terms of playing and it all slotted into gear. “

27 July 1995, Burgettstown, PA🇺🇸
Bon Jovi | Live at Coca-Cola Starlake Amphitheatre | Complete Version | Burgettstown 1995
is the soundtrack for today

.
The show was already added to the playlist 
“Bon Jovi concerts on this day”
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiGoDE3C06ScAo9UN4GyhtQWYfl3d6jMT
at 27 July.

Mistakes are a good thing

👩🏼‍💻 the story July 30

In today’s concert, Jon Bon Jovi starts singing the first verse from These Days, twice.
I had not noticed it when I listened to the Burgettstown recording, but when I started searching for the uploads that were under the banner “Bon Jovi Pittsburgh 1995”, one of the videos that came up was These Days, as a single recording.
And the description box, mentioned the mistake.

The 1995 Bon Jovi concert in Burgettstown, was on YouTube long before hAnD90’s the 2020 (and renewed 2022) upload.
It was just called differently, and labeled “Pittsburgh”.
After the metropolitan area of Burgettstown, and also after the way Jon Bon Jovi addresses the crowd.

Which is not technically a mistake, but it did remind me of the final post of my first 30 day stint on this blog.
It ended July 10, with a giant mistake in the title, where I mixed up Middletown New Jersey with Middletown California.
I m certain it contributed to me dropping out of writing these already time consuming blog posts.
I saw how unrewarding it was: That I was putting in my heart and soul, but that the most time consuming and frustrating factor, the factor that would always bite me in the ass if I tried to short cut writing this blog, was one of geography.

I m pretty sure I dropped out because I was ready to commit to writing about Bon Jovi everyday.
However, what I was not ready to commit to, was to deciphering American towns, boroughs, states, and allocate double locations to their correct state.
That, I was not committed to.

So I dropped out.

And maybe the Pittsburgh/ Burgettstown situation from today’s concert, reminded me that THIS is what I m in for.
That this blog will always entail geographical and historical fact checking, and deciphering. Something that does not necessarily show in the result, but if I FAIL to do it?
And it shows up the way Middletown, New Jersey and Orange County California were mixed up?
If I fail to do it, I will no longer be able to stand the post.
And may drop out.

So I have no choice but to accept that if I want to stay motivated to write this blog, then looking up the location, and trace it back to its origins until I know without a doubt, I have an understanding where it is, and where it is not;
Is part of my work.

But also: That THAT is the benchmark of mastery.

Mastery is NOT  writing a daily blogpost.
Mastery is NOT knowing how to make a remastered Burgettstown recording, which after two days of giving it your all, is suddenly a joy to listen to, when all that came before you were not.
Mastery is how you handle the extra things, that you would never be able to tackle, if you still needed all your mental bandwidth for the work itself.

And that’s when I suddenly understood, why I was so convinced hAnD90 was great at what he does.
Even though I consider myself musically illiterate, and have therefor no technical understanding of the work.
I know it because he researches and dives in the history of the recording, and thinks about the context of it.
That’s how I know he has full mastership over the technical process, because otherwise he would not even bother, and just copy locations and dates.

And now I can see why making mistakes and being upset by that is ALWAYS a good thing.
Because it reveals ambition.

It reveals you want more of yourself in that area, and that in itself is a good thing.
You may not get it for free, in fact it would be a real surprise if you did! But your pain is more in not admitting to yourself, that you are ambitious in this area.
That despite your flaws, the unfamiliarity or your history, you STILL want to do better in that area of your life.
Maybe even achieve mastership!
Admitting that, takes balls.

And that is why making a mistake, and being annoyed by it, is always good.
Because it reveals there is a part of you, that understands you can do better. And wants to, do better.

It is the part of you, that flat out refuses to settle for mediocre and average.

And that part, is something to cherish.
Because it will turn you into a master, one day.

This Daily Bon Jovi Yoga blog is an element of “Rock Star” [phase 2]

Welcome to another day on this new daily blog! Every day you get:
(1) a story
Ranging from anywhere between
– a 2000 word blogpost, lavishly wrapped under, over and around, all things yoga and Bon Jovi;
– to refreshingly missing!

Ironically, I thought No Way, I m going to pull off writing a story today!
Not the writing itself, because I write quicker than I read:
But the research.

The past couple of days the posts on this blog cost me a fair amount of research time. I constantly had to Google things, which was very time consuming.
Time I do not have today.

So I thought: “Well, let’s make this one without a story then.”
Until I realized it was just the research, I couldn’t do today. So I can write about things I can just pull off the mental shelf;
Rock Star sexual capital, is such a topic!

As is totally punned and the appropriate location today, you can find the  story about sexual capital, below, at the bottom half of this post. 😎

But before we get there!
You get: 
(2) a Bon Jovi concert, a soundtrack for today
Also added to the on-this-day playlist, with all the concerts from this blog:
Bon Jovi concerts on this day

+
(3) a yoga practice you can do, based on the day of the week.

—🤘🏾🧘🏾 🎶🎸 that was your practice for today 🤘🏾🧘🏾 🎶🎸—

The concert part!
What concerts were played on July 7? 

 

🗓️🎶🎸Bon Jovi July 7.

There are two pre-1997 concerts recording for July 7;

July 7:

Cross Road/ These Days Tour:
7 July 1995, Odense, Denmark, Midtfyns Festival
YouTube upload:
Bon Jovi – Live in Odense, Denmark 1995 [FULL]

Cross Road/ These Days Tour:
7 July 1996, Milton Keynes, England, National Bowl (second night)
YouTube upload:
Bon Jovi – Milton Keynes National Bowl 07.07.1996 (2nd show – nearly full audio)

The first Milton Keynes night, on 6 July, did not have a YouTube upload, but  the setlist is known.

And the the concert page from the second night , gives us a clue they made some adjustments, based on the experiences the night before:

“Rockin’ In The Free World opens the show!

Wild In The Steets is placed early, as is Hey God. Heavy wind had caused massive sound fluctuations over both nights which lead to the band having had problems in working the audience the previous show. This is probably why they went for a full-blown rockin’ start this time around.

Lie To Me Is back and gets favored over Diamond Ring / Bed Of Roses.

Bed Of Roses had initially been dropped and the band didn’t plan on doing it, but changed it on the spot due to multiple requests and had it open their final encore.”

Therefor:

7 JuLY 1996, Milton Keynes, England🇬🇧
Bon Jovi – Milton Keynes National Bowl 07.07.1996 (2nd show – nearly full audio)
is the soundtrack for today

.
Both performances are added to the playlist 
“Bon Jovi concerts on this day” (on July 7)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiGoDE3C06ScAo9UN4GyhtQWYfl3d6jMT

And the show from 1995 Odense, Denmark will stay on stand-by for when we don’t have an on-this-day recording.

Rock Star (meaning YOU!) “sexual capital”

👩🏼‍💻 the story July 7

.
There are definitely times when I wish I had taken the building of my business (at that time, my yoga business) as seriously as creating the sex/dating/love life I wanted.
And present tense, meaning that wish is not just a thing of the past;
It still is.
That I would be as certain now, in my career as a Rock Star Writer and Yoga Teacher, as I am in my sex/dating/love life. 
Or even, that I had the same decisiveness of setting out on a quest to figure it out!
Just like I had, with regard to figuring out my dating and sex life, fifteen years ago.

In my 30s, I rebooted my love and dating life. I knew what I wanted, and I knew the most important thing was to stick to my guns.
To not be swayed, just because what I wanted was not the norm.

Because in hindsight- that was the sad thing, about how I had turned up off-path, with my love life- 
In hindsight I had already known everything that was true for me, when I was 15, 16 years old.
Just that I had let the fears and beliefs of others, get the better of me, and that had made me end up in relationships where those fears (that were not even my own) were bypassed.
Great relationships with amazing men, for sure!

But that had never been what I wanted:
I wanted adventures with the wicked!
With the rock stars, of this earth.

I didn’t know all that when I went on my quest, to find the right path.
In fact, I had internalized the views that were not my own and thought that after I had had my fun with new men, with whom I had been very much in love, and had enjoyed our glorious ten-times-a-day phase and then sadly drifted apart (sadly, but not really sadly of course);
That after those perhaps a bit drama-filled years where I got my heart broken all the time, I would come back to the same long-term relationships with the same amazing men.

Except;
I didn’t.
And I never will.
I ll take one day of adventure with a man who has cracked my heart open like a walnut, and who leaves me in a sea of tears;
Over a lifetime of bliss, with an amazing man.

Because after I have recovered from that blow to my emotional system?
I do feel strong. 
I do feel on top of the world.
It took me a while, but now I understand that I thrive on that challenge, to get back on my feet.
To learn how to CARRY myself, to learn how to SURVIVE (emotionally).
To learn how to use that pain of being sidelined, and losing him, at a stage when I was not expecting it, and no longer prepared to have “him do that to me”, and yet?
It has become my favorite way to grow.

I d rather grow like that, than meditate for ten days, or even than to meditate at all! 
I ve grown fond of it, that is the point I want to bring across, before I continue. So you understand that even without the wealth I discovered I had accumulated, you understand that I would not go back.
That I love being in it, at least as much as what I get out of it.

Which is “sexual capital”.

Sexual or erotic capital is a term coined in 2010, although it was around before that.
I use that word here, so that you know that if you like more background information, you know what to look for.
Because the terms sexual capital and erotic capital, have been the closest thing I have found, that describe the wealth I found.
But there is one major difference!

Hence the quotation marks in the title:
“sexual capital”

Where sexual capital is the word to describe how to leverage your sexual attractiveness to gain things in the real world
(changing it for other forms of economic capital);
Sexual capital ->quotation marks<- means;
Wealth, health, sexual energy that you feel YOURSELF.

To feel creative, sexual energy flowing through you, nourish you and feed you, in a way that would make you a millionaire if I could bottle that up.

Over 15 years after I set out on my quest, I understand very well, WHY I would never go back to those fun, healthy relationships with amazing men, and prefer one night with the wicked;
Because the latter gives me a ton of this sexual energy, and the years with the great relationships with amazing men, didn’t give me that.
They did not deliver the one thing I craved, which was that feeling of aliveness!

And I think it is this feeling of aliveness, of freedom, of sexual adventure, that a true rock star (true as in: making music and being on stage) conveys.
And that you and I feel, when we’re standing in the crowd, and feel that rush of energy.

Without them knowing who we are, and without us being in some kind of sexual affair, we have an energetic affair with the rock star.
We have a few hours together that we will absolutely never forget, and that will change who we are.

My biggest lesson to you, and one I do not have to research, is;
That is the secret of energy, that is the secret of life.

To learn to receive high amounts of energy, and process it, integrate it, make it your own.
And learn to begin to transmute that energy, just ever so slightly before they move away.
Learn how to start integrating that energy, that you were exposed to in such high doses-
either at the concert or with someone in your life or bed.

To learn to survive the parting, and to then thrive, because you now possess that energy yourself.

That is how you gain Rock Star’s sexual capital.
Inadvertently, because you weren’t even trying.

All you knew was that it rocked your world.

This Daily Bon Jovi Yoga blog is an element of “Rock Star” [phase 2]

 

Although band concerts, seemed to have been hosted too small in The Netherlands, until latest of 80s/early 90s;
They were welcome at one of Holland’s many festivals and multiple-bill concerts. Stamping Ground (1970) was the first and probably the most legendary one.

The concert part!
What concerts were played on July 6? 

 

🗓️🎶🎸Bon Jovi July 6.

There are two pre-1997 concerts recording for July 6;
And I m appointing the one closest to home, as the soundtrack of the day!

July 6:

New Jersey Syndicate Tour:
6 July 1989, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, Niagara Falls Civic Center
YouTube upload:
Bon Jovi | Live at Niagara Falls Convention and Civic Center | Niagara Falls 1989

Cross Road/ These Days Tour
6 July 1995, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, Stadion Feijenoord
YouTube upload:
Bon Jovi | Live at Stadion Feijenoord | Rotterdam 1995
A remastered recording by hAnD90.
Tech specifics in description box of the video.

About this show, by hAnD90;

“Just like in 1993, the band was to face an excellent crowd upon their visit to Rotterdam and played a nice long setlists with a few twists and turns in there. The excitement and energy were great that night.”

Therefor:

6 JuLY 1995, Rotterdam, The Netherlands🇳🇱
Bon Jovi | Live at Stadion Feijenoord | Rotterdam 1995
is the soundtrack for today

.
Both performances are added to the playlist 
“Bon Jovi concerts on this day” (on July 6)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiGoDE3C06ScAo9UN4GyhtQWYfl3d6jMT

And the show from 1989 Niagara Falls will stay on stand-by for when we don’t have an on-this-day recording.

.

First guesses: Why The Netherlands refused the world’s biggest bands her largest venues (for a long time)

👩🏼‍💻 the story July 6

.

It was one of those things, right under your nose, that you somehow manage to miss.
Even though the signs had been there all along.

Because why did Bon Jovi play the relatively small indoor venue Ahoy TWICE on their New Jersey Syndicate Tour, in 1988 and 1989;
When they would have sold even a 100.000 tickets in a heartbeat?
And on a bad day.

Why had I wondered, oh so very often, why me and my boyfriend visited an insane amount of hard rock festivals in the early 90s;
But hardly, any concerts by one band?

Why had the Rolling Stones played at The Netherlands most luxurious beach hotel, Kurhaus Scheveningen, in 1964?
Only to have it spin out of control in madness and mayhem by fans, and a lot of material damage.
Which should have come as a surprise, to absolutely no one.

And even!
Even;
Why did Bon Jovi’s 1995 concert in Nijmegen, fall flat on its face, after it being hastily relabeled, yet not quite fully (let alone effectively) into a  four-bill “festival”.
Whatever that means.
Suffice to say it didn’t work, and although Nijmegen 1995 does not have a recording, sources seem to agree at least for Bon Jovi, it had not worked and they had been unable to make that night’s concert “work”.
Which is saying something, because they’d been able to make concerts where they had increasingly larger objects being thrown at them, work, when in 1984 they opened for the hostile crowds of ZZ Top and Scorpions.

But somehow the “Dutch quadruple bill” trick at the Goffertpark, had caught them off-guard, and off-key.

From hosting the first concert The Rolling Stones would play outside of the United Kingdom, at the Kurhaus in 1964, which also counts as The Netherland’s first go at organizing a band concert;
To Holland’s uncontrollable urge to squeeze bands together on one bill;
Something seems rotten, in the kingdom of the Netherlands. 

And the preference can be seen to this day.
It started with the open air concert in Kralingen (Stamping Ground, 1970) but in 2022 there are still way more festivals, with tens of thousands of people, than there are open air concert locations that do one-band or one-artist concerts.

Let’s assume, that the latter habit, or preference, is a global one. A commercial one. That over the whole world, concert organizers rather go for packaging up a certain TYPE of music;
Thinking it will sell more tickets because it will attract a broader audience, than that they feel called to book for, basically the niche group of, one fanbase.

So let’s assume that part of the Dutch preference, to have at least a dozen festivals/ festival locations, but only a handful of concert locations that pass the 50.000 attendees mark?
Let’s for now, let that rest, and write it off as a global thing. Book it under capitalism, whatever.
Park it.

Let’s also, just like in statistics when you take out the numbers that vary too much from the whole, before you make an estimate;
Let’s not count that very first Rolling Stones concert.
It’s too long ago, and no one had hosted a Rolling Stones concert outside the UK, so good for the Netherlands that they made that mark in Rock n Roll history!

And now we get into how I, finally, begin to understand that there is a whole part of Dutch history missing. 
And the part is;
For the longest of times, there were no real concerts in the Netherlands.

This was the part I opened with; the thing that had been under my very nose.
And it was brought to my attention by my mother.
Because I asked her how she and my father had known how important it had been for me to go to Bon Jovi?
They had not been, at first glance, the types of parents to facilitate events like concerts at the other side of the country (in the Netherlands that is a 2.5 hour drive), on a school night.
Our family revolved around what my father wanted, then what my mother wanted, and for the children it revolved around what they thought we needed.
Not what we knew we wanted.

Our wants were not discouraged, but there was an unspoken rule that the wants were not their department. Those were our own to figure out, and as long as it didn’t interfere with school, we could do it.
But “going to” Bon Jovi on a school night (the quotation marks stand for not having a clue how to get there without them driving me!) did, interfere with school!

So then how did they, and pretty unanimously it seemed, decide it was important enough to drive me and two friends there?
When none of their policies would have led to this outcome?

And that was when I offered;
“Was it perhaps because dad would have wanted to go, in the 60s?”
And my mother replied:
“Oh no! We didn’t have concerts in the 60s!”
And that’s how this whole topic of wanting to know the history of Dutch concerts, came about!

And when I suddenly understood, why the Rolling Stones had been at Kurhaus. Strangely enough, up until that moment, I had never wondered why they had played at such an odd location.
When in hindsight, it makes total sense, because it was the first concert ever booked here.

Broad strokes, the 50s and 60s, can be divided into the mainland of Europe, which was still recovering from the war.
And Japan, United States and England, which had not been occupied. 
So for the first twenty years or so, you can pretty much see why Europe was so far behind, in having a music industry.

Rock n Roll was brought to The Netherlands by the Indonesian community.
From Wikipedia on Indorock:

“Indorock is a musical genre that originated in the 1950s in the Netherlands. It is a fusion of Indonesian and Western music, with roots in Kroncong (traditional Portuguese-Indonesian fusion music). The genre was invented by Indo repatriates in the Netherlands after Indonesian independence on August 17, 1945, and became popular especially in Germany. Indorock is one of the earliest forms of “Eurorock”.[1] Its influence on Dutch popular music was immense.”

This illustrates that The Netherlands were quite cutting edge when it came to music, just not in organizing concerts.
In conversation with someone from Germany, my impression was they had big venues for Europe’s most popular acts, over a decade sooner, than the Netherlands.

And in 1978, Feyenoord Stadion in Rotterdam, opened its doors for world famous pop artists, but only the absolute biggest names, were allowed to play there;
When rock bands were to play smaller venues or festival or multiple bill concerts, when my impression was, they had far outgrown that.
Bon Jovi late 80s could have easily, sold out Feyenoord Stadion.

In the 90s, it was as if Dutch concert organizer Mojo, did a brave attempt to SATISFY, Dutch desire to see the Rolling Stones live!

1990: 3x Stadion Feijenoord, Rotterdam
1995: 2x Stadion Feijenoord, Rotterdam, Megaland, Landgraaf (festival),  2x Goffertpark, Nijmegen, 2x Paradiso, Amsterdam
1998: Malieveld, Den Haag + 5x Amsterdam ArenA
1999: Megaland, Landgraaf (festival)+ Stadspark, Groningen

But ten years of sold out concerts in The Netherland’s biggest venues later; 
And they could still get no satisfaction!

So do I have guesses, about what happened in The Netherlands?
Hardly.

What I know is that every time I visit a concert, I am so happy with Mojo, our organizer. They seem to get better at tweaking their concerts, everytime a little more.
The chair throwing of the Kurhaus, is definitely a thing of the ancient past! 

The organization, the execution, of Dutch concerts is phenomenal.
For example: The Golden Circle is never overbooked, something I ve definitely seen happening on video footage from shows abroad.
Mojo Concerts deserves a 10 out of 10, for their work!

Yesterday they signed a contract here in Nijmegen, making Goffertpark one of their only handful 50.000 attendees, locations. For their biggest shows.
And Nijmegen tends to get all the rock concerts, so I m absolutely delighted with this deal!

But do I think money is being left on the table?
And that it’s the bands, that have suffered the most?
I do.
Suffered from whatever it is, that seemed to have gotten off on the wrong foot.

Do I know why?
Probably not.

But I do know, it could be changed.
In a heartbeat.
On a bad day.

(2) Bon Jovi concert, a soundtrack for today

There is ONE, pre-1997 concert recording of JULY 3:

Cross Road/ These Days Tour
3 July 1996, Paris, France, Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy
YouTube upload, audio AND video!
Bon Jovi | Legendary Concert at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy | Paris 1996

from the description box:
“The concert went off the beaten pattern in 1996 with it being the only indoor show of the European leg, no marching band being utilized and the “B structure” of the setlist coming into play (you can find more information about that in the These Days tour section of our website).

As usual with the band’s shows in Paris, they never could go for the really big places, but the audience they packed were always great!

The renditions of the songs have so much to be discovered – from a rap-like part in the break of Hey God to Jon singing an improvised melody over the outro of Saturday Night to spine-chilling renditions of songs like Letting You Go or Something To Believe In – there’s a lot in this one!”

Making Paris 1996, a worthy choice, that will probably keep you engaged for a whole month!

3 JuLY 1996, Paris, France🇫🇷
Bon Jovi | Legendary Concert at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy | Paris 1996
