The Yoga Honeymoon | Including #dailybonjoviyoga 2024 01 14

Published on 15 January 202415 January 2024 by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

Once you have found “the one”; It is easy to tell why others were not The One, isn’t it? Maybe they were aggressive, demanding, unreliable, and maybe they were not ambitious enough or boring. What you first noticed was how you would be able to handle it on certain days, but not on others. Depending on how much energy you had to deal with them, but also depending on how deep the other person was exercising their right to this, what you considered, “flaw”. The one thing you were putting up with, that was becoming a bigger stain as time moved on. Once you met The One, you realized you liked everything about them: The good and the so called bad. You could make jokes on moments like that, it would bring you two closer together, and you couldn’t imagine ever growing tired of being or living with this person. That is how yoga should feel, and nothing less! You should be excited to get on your mat. And if not; Meet new yoga styles, teachers, take private classes asking help from a teacher to set up your personal yoga practice you can fall in love with. And although I don’t think any of us will spend time on the mat, the way couples spend them in bed in their honeymoon period; Yes! There should be a honeymoon period, where all you can think about is your next session and you’re excited that you two click, and have found each other against all odds. And once you have this, then you will understand what the length is of an ideal yoga session: The time you would take for The One, once you’ve made it to the bedroom. Which is 30 minutes for a quickie, but otherwise I think 1 to 2 hours, including lying together in each other’s arms, before you end it. In yoga this is called “Savasana”, a long relaxation that typically lasts between 10 and 15 minutes. So although a week of not leaving the bedroom may not happen, there definitely should be a honeymoon period, where yoga is the most fascinating wonderful thing. Where you and yoga have created a bubble, a sanctuary, that you can’t wait to visit every day. And if that doesn’t happen? It’s not The One. . ~Suzanne I teach yoga at de Club, Nijmegen

ABOUT THIS SERIES

In 2021 I started this blog https://dailybonjoviyoga.com/2021/03/19/welcome-to-daily-bon-jovi-yoga/ with the intention of doing yoga everyday to a Bon Jovi album, or Bon Jovi music. (this list of deep cuts and cover songs is my guilty pleasure!) In January 2024, after three years of creating several setups and systems to do “Bon Jovi yoga” or “Rock Star Yoga”; After creating two playlists on my YouTube with all Bon Jovi concert recordings between 1983 and 1996, and keeping them updated to the best of my ability (which is not great!); And after writing over 50 reviews and stories inspired by those concerts, ALL on THIS blog? I thought maybe, just maybe, it was a good idea, to start doing exactly what I said this blog would be about; Doing yoga to Bon Jovi music every day. And write about it. Interested in Bon Jovi? Definitely subscribe to my other blog! Rock Star Writer

When I wrote the very first post for this blog, on 19th of March 2021, I promised this blog would be “about my commitment to do daily yoga with music from Bon Jovi. Until the day I die.” Which after three years of creating several setups and systems to do “Bon Jovi yoga” or “Rock Star Yoga”; After creating two playlists on my YouTube with all Bon Jovi concert recordings between 1983 and 1996, and keeping them updated to the best of my ability (which is not great!); And after writing over 50 reviews and stories inspired by those concerts, and ALL of those things here on THIS blog? 2021’s definition turned out to be far less watertight than I assumed, although I should have seen it coming. Because there are dark and murky waters running within me, best known under their euphemistic Sunday school name “creativity”; Messing with everything I do! Bad news is they seriously undermine being someone who wants to visit her mat to do yoga every day. Quelle boring. The good news of course that my Dark Side makes me a hell of a writer and creator! Someone who’s ready to innovate yoga so that its message can travel into the 21st century and even the 22nd. Tying it into Bon Jovi, giving it wings and instructions who to look out for, increasing its chances of finding a recipient who will recognize this little yoga package, with Rock Star wings and a six-string on their back, as theirs: “Look what I found! It’s Rock Star Yoga!” And the bad news obviously that there is no way of telling where this or any other blog of mine will go, or YouTube channel. But just like 3 years ago, what I can do, is tell you what my intentions are. And in this case, that includes telling you where the posts you used to read on this blog, will go. New additions, new concerts for the Bon Jovi playlists will go straight onto my Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And if I write about a concert, or about something else Rock Star or Bon Jovi related, it will go onto the 2019 blog: Rock Star Writer On that blog, I will also repost our stories about Bon Jovi concerts, which are currently buried here, under, in and behind this yoga practice blog. And then this blog will be what it was always meant to be: A blog about doing daily Bon Jovi yoga. Until the day we die. ~Suzanne I teach yoga at de Club, Nijmegen

The Cover Night | Bon Jovi 1986 – 2013 | new on YouTube

New on YouTube Bon Jovi The Cover Night 1986 – 2013 🏟️ Jukebox 🎛️🎶🎧-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tD3lgIaE9Y&t=1361s In the morning of the 24th of December, Christmas came early for Bon Jovi fans, because hAnD90 released a production he had been working on for months; Bon Jovi | 🎄 Christmas Jukebox 🎄 | The Cover Night And if it wasn’t for the fact that Bon Jovi has done a pretty great job writing their own songs, you’d say they had lost their calling as a cover band, because this is Bon Jovi covering decades of the greatest hits; The world’s greatest singer-songwriters; Rock n’ rolls most infamous classics; And passionate tales of heartbreak and triumph that will leave no heart untouched! There is also a faux Last Christmas on there, just for laughs. Except for those who were on the last day of Whamageddon, trying not to hear Last Christmas😅 This list is really, too good to be true. Bon Jovi has weaved in covers (Bang bang! introducing Show Through The Heart, 1985) right from their earliest of shows, and many of us would have spotted 1992’s With A Little Help From My Friends, even if I had not added years + locations to this setlist. Which I did! I am guessing hAnD90 could not add the location and year, nor the band or artist of whom it was a cover (which I would have researched, if I had had two more hours) because YouTube severely caps the amount of characters you can use. But copy-pasting the setlist from the description list to this blog, miraculously preserved the time stamps! 🥳 So enjoy the recording of Bon Jovi | 🎄 Christmas Jukebox 🎄 | The Cover Night Or jump to your favorite song right away: Setlist: 01.

a Christmas concert avant-la-lettre

👩🏼‍💻 the story 23 december 2023

A Christmas concert, before Bon Jovi even knew they had Christmas concerts!

Frankfurt 1989, is when the band hit what must have been their Christmas-infused homesick rock bottom, playing night after night in another city in Germany.
You can hear the melancholy drip off Blood on Blood’s introduction, and throughout the show every time Jon Bon Jovi drops the word Christmas – which is often and a concept that clearly means more to him than to the 1989 German crowd, where Christmas still revolved around baby Jesus not Santaclaus (who some say was given life by Coca-Cola!)-
the pain of missing home is almost palpable.

A year after this concert, they were indeed home.
Exactly as they had longed for, playing Germany around Christmas time, having been 16 months on the road and counting.
But they would not just rest on their laurels.

For seven years, from 1990 to 1996, they would play New Jersey’s Count Basie theatre, in the week before Christmas;
The Christmas Shows
(link to the bjtours website where you can find them all)

But nothing explained the profound meaning it had to them, to spend Christmas at home;
Than Frankfurt 23 December, 1989.

new Christmas concert | Bon Jovi 1990 12 23 Red Bank New Jersey | evening show

Published on 22 December 202323 December 2023 by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

New on YouTube Bon Jovi 23 December 1990 Red Bank, New Jersey evening concert 🏟️ Christmas Show, off-tour 🎛️🎶🎧-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5ymQJT8PQg For Bon Jovi fans, Christmas came early this year! A long lost recording from Bon Jovi’s very first annual Christmas concert; A tradition they would keep up until 1996. But none as over the top, on the fly, raining acoustic renditions like snowflakes, and nailing it to that Christmas tree as this one; Twice!! Because there were actually two concerts that day; A matinee show, which was uploaded and available on YouTube. As well this gem played in the evening, at which hAnD90 threw all his audio technician, probably AI powered remaster wizardry, to make this beauty audible for, as he calls it “extreme die-hards”! “What makes up for it is the choice of songs as well as the band absolutely shining!” he writes in the description box. Also providing the backup story to this show; “the band was pretty much in shambles at the time and basically wanted to outshine one another on stage. As much as it was unhealthy for them, it brought energy and power to a new level.” And: “they all went in there without much of rehearsal or the likes (remember that they had not played since February 1990 as a band at that point!) and just nailed it off the floor.” You can view a small MTV clip of this first Christmas concert, or the matinee show on that same day (doesn’t say), including an interview with an incredibly young and radiant Jon Bon Jovi here. This new concert Bon Jovi 23 December 1990 Red Bank, New Jersey 🏟️ Christmas concert, off-tour has been added to: New in Bon Jovi concerts before 1997 And to the playlist: “Part II: Bon Jovi concerts on this day 6 Dec-9 June (before 1997) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiGoDE3C06ScbVI_oPZcf77OtrO_935JD” at December 23. . ~Suzanne 🇳🇱 Tikkie ☕️ Buy me a coffee 🌎 Paypal

Look, no Hands! | Bon Jovi 1990 01 04 Wembley Stadium 3rd night | final weeks New Jersey Syndicate Tour

The “Slippery When Wet night” of the New Jersey Tour! Bon Jovi 4 January 1990 Wembley, London 🇬🇧 third night 🏟️ New Jersey Syndicate Tour 🎛️🎶🎧-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6QkmAgo3Rc This blog: 1. Look, no Hands! (story) 2.

Look, no Hands!

👩🏼‍💻 the story 14 december 2023

. Bon Jovi January 4th 1990 – just weeks before the tour that spanned 18 months would end in Guadalajara, Mexico – was the third and final night at Wembley. The audio was uploaded by hAnD90, summer 2023, and it is a bit of an out-of-the-box choice for this blog, since I currently blog about new(er) uploads, which I then ceremoniously add to the Bon Jovi playlists. This upload was already in the playlists, AND I have not even gotten around to comparing it to the 8 minute longer alternative from a different channel- Does the other upload have an extra song? Or is it just the audience noise in between songs, which has been cut? My friends, I am ill-prepared. But the reason is simple, because this concert was not picked because it was a unique or a new upload (although it is both of those things) but was chosen by me for one reason only; It is the ONLY concert in the entire New Jersey Syndicate Tour, where they do not play Lay Your Hands On Me! It is a No Hands concert! 😉 And the reason is tied to the nickname this concert is known under: Slippery When Wet Night Although the concert is from the New Jersey tour, named after their 1988 New Jersey album, they actually played 9 songs out of 10, of their Slippery When Wet album, this night. Something HAD to give! And that something was their standard opening song Lay Your Hands On Me. Instead they opened in a very unusual fashion, with Raise Your Hands (Guess there were hands after all?!), Slippery When Wet’s opening track of the B Side, for those playing vinyl or cassettes. Thereby ignoring not just New Jersey’s opening song, Lay Your Hands On Me, but also Slippery When Wet’s opener; Let It Rock. Which was played later in the show. I did Tweet a short “Soundtrack of the day” review of the alternative, older upload, of this concert, on 4 January 2023. It said: “EPIC show with a rare Social Disease AND the Bob Dylan cover Seven Days, both with a horn section; The Tower of London Horns! + Gotta love that harmonica in Born to be my Baby; And the adlibs filled outro! Let it Rock is the most energetic version in the history of Bon Jovi; Opening vocals to Living in Sin will leave no heart untouched + Blood on Blood, is one of brotherhood” Just, you know….. no Hands!.

May the messiest of starts win | Bon Jovi 1988 10 31 Dublin, Ireland | 1st concert New Jersey Syndicate Tour

Published on 12 December 202314 December 2023 by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

New show available on YouTube Bon Jovi 31 October 1988 RDS Simmonscourt, Dublin🇮🇪 opening night 🏟️ New Jersey Syndicate Tour 🎛️🎶🎧-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WIxdPC_H4o It was uploaded by hAnD90 around Halloween, and although he improved the sound slightly, it was still more or less uploaded as a practical joke because the recording was so bad it was scary! 🎃 😅. This blog: 1. May the messiest of starts win (review) 2. New On YouTube (added to playlists) 3. The Yoga to Dublin 31 Oct 1988 (Mo 11 Dec ’23 and Tu 12 Dec ’23)

May the messiest of starts win

👩🏼‍💻 the story 12 december 2023

. Dublin 31 October 1988 is known by bootleg traders as the worst recording of any Bon Jovi concert in the history of Bon Jovi. “I think it was recorded on a walkman hidden inside a bag or something similar, ” the description box says. Unsurprisingly, it never made it to YouTube. And: “The entire encore section got incredibly weird, with 6 out of 7 songs being covers.” hAnD90 adds in the description box. Yet some of us will “remember-ish” the show from the documentary Access All Areas, where disappointed, angry bandmembers were filmed in the dressingroom after a Dublin show. But there were two shows, and according to the documentary, that footage was from November 1, not October 31. The Nov 1 footage was mixed with raving fans, post-concert. The second night is available on a very small channel, uploaded by FighterBJ on December 5, 2020, also relatively recent. So although both Dublin shows have a familiar ring; They are actually super rare. Oct 31 is ALSO the only night of the entire tour 1988-1990, Let It Rock does not get played! I think this jinxed the concert to drowning in a sea of covers, but I am terribly biased when it comes to Let It Rock. To add to the mess, the fans portrayed in the documentary as being raving about the Dublin show, are not from there. The footage was most likely shot in Glasgow on 2 or 3 December. Not after the show from Nov 1, Jon is referring to in the documentary as being the worst ever. But either way there is reason to believe a happy crowd COULD have been filmed on Nov 1st too! FighterBJ writes in his description box: “I personally find it really good, Jon’s voice was very fresh and no one was burnt out, overall they had great energy.” My guess is Bon Jovi fandom has a tie between this New Jersey Syndicate Tour being their best ever; Versus These Days tour being their best. But all would agree the messy start in Dublin in no way resulted in a bad tour. Just a great movie.

. My yoga sessions are done with my phone, playing the concert in the background. The volume is very low, because I don’t want these concerts to become a #dailybonjovinuisance to the neighbors! But obviously in this case, it was probably for the best. Or, as hAnD90 said in the description box: “there’s just nothing that can be done about it.

Blaze of Glory | Bon Jovi 1993 04 14 Helsinki, Iceland | Unlocked after over 30 years

New on YouTube Bon Jovi 14 April 1993 Helsinki, Iceland 🇮🇸 🏟️ Keep the Faith Tour 🎛️🎶🎧-> https://youtu.be/o1-HENob7k0?si=rjqBs3_tbPqreJfY Uploaded by hAnD90 on 2 December 2023 ..

Blaze of Glory

👩🏼‍💻 story 11 december 2023

. Ask someone who engages in the digital Bon Jovi fanbase; “When was Bon Jovi’s holy month of April?”: They will answer without missing a beat: “1993!” Helsinki, Iceland, was in that month. Two songs are missing from this recording: I’ll Be There For You, the last song. And Livin’ On A Prayer, traditionally the closer of the first encore. Not to be confused with the traditional closer of the main set, which is Bad Medicine. Other hallmark 1993 elements in Helsinki: Opening with Believe (from 1992’s “comeback album” Keep The Faith), followed by Wild in the Streets; Jon greeting the audience, leading into You Give Love A Bad Name. On an unrelated note! You Give Love A Bad Name just had its ultimate “I can’t believe we lived without this for so long”- remix, for a 2024 Ryan Gosling movie, The Fall Guy. Listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7jPnwVGdZ8 Also typical for 1993: the trinity Blood Money, Blaze of Glory and Dry County. All sprung from when Jon was in his solo project Blaze of Glory, and the band was on the verge of never coming back together again. It had been an introspective time, coming to terms with success and if he still liked the path he was on. Jon refers to this introducing “Dry Country” at 48:00 “Sooner or later you have to find your own mirror.” After choosing to return to the band, bringing in the longform songwriting and the lonely cowboy spirit he had started to cultivate over those years, another hurdle appeared; Their ticketsales had plummeted. By April 1993, they realized this 1993 tour may yet again be their last, but now because no one would have them anymore. They decided to really go all in, give each night more than they ever had. If they went down, it would be in a Blaze of Glory! But it became the Holy Month of April, instead.

Gina brings home what? (longread + Sinterklaas rhyme) | Bon Jovi 1989 01 06 Osaka, 2nd night | new remaster

Published on 6 December 20236 December 2023 by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

New remaster Bon Jovi 6 January 1989 Osaka 2nd night 🏟️ New Jersey Syndicate Tour 🎛️🎶🎧-> https://youtu.be/5MTusTXujYg?si=inm0aCI21HTXkxh2

Gina brings home what?

👩🏼‍💻 longread+sinterklaas rhyme 6 december 2023

. A 5th December present! This new remaster was uploaded by hAnD90 on 5 December 2023. A night celebrated in Germany as Sankt Nikolaus and we in the Netherlands call it Sinterklaas or “boxing night” (pakjesavond), because many families celebrate this with presents. The presents are accompanied by a rhyme, opened with a date (usually 5 December) and then “Madrid”, after the city where Sinterklaas is living. The tradition is much older than to celebrate Christmas (Santa Claus) with presents which, in the Netherlands at least, only started one or two decades ago. Bon Jovi | 2nd Night at Osaka-jō Hall | Osaka 1989 The Sinterklaas YouTube upload comes with an extensive description box, written by hAnD90 himself, so if you REALLY want to know what went on in Osaka; What the setlist was and how it compares to others of the era; Which songs were unique, what was remarkable, and exactly how good it was? Then you can read the description box to the video. Which will not disappoint; hAnD90 can analyse a Bon Jovi concert the way others can analyse soccer at the World Cup. And without a team feeding them facts on auto-cue but with his own notes. These uploads are called a reMASTER for a reason! So I, almost as illiterate in Bon Jovi as in sports, will keep it brief (well figuratively, this is a longread!) and focus on the thing I do understand;

The energy, dripping off this debauchery of a show!

You know, in 2023 there are these videos about how to become “THAT girl”? And it would be tempting to say this is THAT show! Or the related; “IT girl”? Then this show was IT! Except- no it isn’t. Because contrary to the modern day Its and Thats, this show is a 20th century relic, which just like (in my opinion) everything else that was “That” or “It” in 1989, came with something we don’t see much anymore; Spontaneity. Sharpness. Boldness. Recklessness. Things were rough. Things were dirty. Things were messing with your head, and above all; Things were very, very unpredictable. And Osaka 1989? Oh it was all of those things, Baby. And that’s just me understanding half of what’s going on there, so let alone if you would actually understand every twist and turn of Jon Bon Jovi’s tongue. (I feel there’s still so much to UNPACK, in Bad Medicine!) .

Lay Your Hands On Me/ Pink Flamingos/ Let It Rock

. The show opens with the New Jersey tour classic “Lay Your Hands On Me”, the song that also opens the 1989 namesake album, and was just DESIGNED to get us in a state of anticipation! Perhaps, just maybe, only topped by 1986’s Slippery When Wet opener Let It Rock, thanks largely to the uncredited, unnamed (for a long time) arrangement that opened the album before Let It Rock even began; The instrumental Pink Flamingos written by keyboard player David Bryan. I have a music book for Slippery When Wet and Pink Flamingos is not even there! That’s how obscure it was in the 80s and, to be honest, I never made an attempt to play anything from the book once I realized its most exciting piece was missing. The intro Pink Flamingos is an integral part to the deeply sexual nature of the song Let it Rock. It is like Sex on Keys and I credit Let it Rock for giving me a sense of what sex was and what it is to look out for EXACTLY; At a time when I was still a virgin, and none of my peers would have been able to give me something even close. Knowing all this, it must come as absolutely no surprise that BOTH New Jersey’s opener “Lay Your Hands On Me”, as well as Slippery When Wet’s opener Let It Rock WITH an even extended version of David Bryan’s keyboard intro Pink Flamingos, were staples, on the New Jersey Syndicate Tour setlist. I am sure hAnD90’s notes could tell us, if there were any of the 230-ish shows that did not have both of these songs, but take it from me that Bon Jovi knew exactly how potent these songs were. These songs were on the setlist by design, and not because they had been such big singles that they could not be skipped, because they had not. In Osaka Lay Your Hands On Me opens the show, and Pink Flamingos/Let It Rock, starts at about a third of the concert.

Runaway/ Get Ready/ Tokyo Road

Oh the first two albums! If you want to know the difference between a casual Bon Jovi fan, and a diehard, it is their heartbeat when they hear songs from Bon Jovi’s first two albums, being played live. And I’m not talking about the 21st century cleaned-up version of Runaway either; One of the least-inspired live songs that they should have dropped for no other reason than that it has been sucking the soul right out of them. No I’m talking about Runaway, sung like they meant it with two electric guitars, strong backing vocals and improvisation in the high registers! I’m talking about Get Ready, the song where they started experimenting with musical interplay, improvisation and interaction with the crowd, as early as 1984. They would perfect this routine in the 90s version of Bad Medicine, but in 1989 they were still tooling around with their crowd-playing capabilities playing their oldie Get Ready in Osaka, as if not a day had passed since 1984, the first time they played Japan. Another oldie bound-to-Japanese soil; Tokyo Road! Tokyo Road (1985) was written about the life-changing experience of being in Japan in 1984, where Bon Jovi hit the jackpot as the nation was just going through their “Give us all the ROCK YOU’VE GOT” phase, and rockbands were treated like absolute GODS. As an hommage to the Japanese fans, who have been their strongest supporters from day one, Tokyo Road would remain a staple for Japan concerts, long after it had disappeared from regular setlists. Osaka 1989 was no exception! Played as the closer of the show, at a moment where you no longer expect it- a concert on this long and straining tour typically lasted 90 minutes ; Starting at 1 hour 34 minutes, Tokyo Road closes the show. The recording lasts 1 h 40 minutes, but many many minutes in between were cut! In reality, the show covered beginning to end at least 1 hour 50 minutes. Tokyo Road did not have to be played, but giving it their all of course they were not going to leave this fanservice on the table! .

Homebound Train/Livin’ in sin/ Blood on Blood

. Oh dear baby Jesus, mother of God, or was it sheer sorcery or just that enchanting harmonica play, that made Bon Jovi so otherworldly captivating, in 1989? I have no idea, but I do know that these three songs, played together in one relatively short concert; It is what made the mark, my friends…… Three songs rich in storytelling, all dragged out until twice the length of their album versions, and there’s just something happening here that (I’m gonna say it) (some of you won’t like it) (gonna do it anyway) It was something 90s Bon Jovi lost. There was a darkness Bon Jovi possessed (probably literally) that is probably linked to being on a long excruciating tour that confirms the old adage that from great pain comes great art. A stage from which you either grow over it and become the professionals Bon Jovi became in the 90s, OR you quit, which sure looked like it was gonna be the case early 90s; Or you die. Which thankfully did not happen. But listen and soak up Bon Jovi’s late 80s heartfelt pain, suffering, nostalgia, and despair. And know Bon Jovi had not just given it their all, making it to where they were now; They were borderline breaking point and still no one could have stopped them.

wild in the streets / I’d die for you

. Two Slippery When Wet Songs, neither one of them singles or at least not their biggies, of which Wild In The Streets would survive the cull and serve as a regular of being one of the first three songs, pretty much the same as in Osaka. Although both upbeat and fast-paced, Wild In The Streets is very much a party song, and I’d Die For You is a more intense guitar song. I’d Die For You is played in the second encore in Osaka; The second to last song, right before Tokyo Road. .

Livin’on a prayer/ ride cowboy ride/ wanted dead or alive

. This is where 80s Bon Jovi is showing themselves in all their glory! I kind of gave it away in the title, but improvisation, although present throughout this whole show, is rampant in Livin’ on a Prayer as well as Ride Cowboy Ride; And Wanted Dead or Alive, also becomes more alive played in tandem after the acoustic Ride Cowboy Ride, a New Jersey album “filler” that hardly ever gets played. From what I remember, Ride Cowboy Ride surfaced as a fan-favorite, at a listening of dozens of Bon Jovi demos that were considered for the New Jersey album. And it was based on that preference it ended up on the album, but it stayed in a rough version, deliberately sounding like an old vinyl record. But in Osaka, Ride Cowboy Ride really gets to shine, and serves as a wonderful intro to Wanted Dead or Alive. Livin’on a Prayer closes the main set, and it opens with an acapella chorus, sung by Jon and then by the crowd, who know it word by word. As we hear the ominous music opening the track, begin, Jon introduces the song saying: “This is for Tommie and Gina. They’ll probably go to prison somewhere. On prostitution charges.” Okay, I have NO IDEA, what that means! But it definitely sounds like something you in itself risk going to prison for in the 21st century.

🎶Once upon a time, on a Friday night🎶

Nice touch! And yes, it was indeed a Friday.

🎶Gina works the diner all day🎶 🎶Working for her man she brings home her * .. * for love🎶

Scraps? Spreads? What is Gina bringing home? Is this in any way related to the prostitution charges? I have no idea.

You give love a bad name

. Something that would also become part of the Bon Jovi-setlist recipe, is to greet the crowd after the third song. “How many of you folks came to see us here last night?” Jon asks. Quickly followed by: “How many of you folks this is your first Bon Jovi concert?” And then, with well-acted disappointment in his voice:

Where the hell have you been for the last 5 years? You give love….

And without finishing the sentence the opening lyrics of Bon Jovi’s 1986 breakthrough hit are shouted from ten thousand Japanese fans and one Jon Bon Jovi:

🎶Shot through the heart, and you’re to blame🎶 🎶Baby, you give love, a bad name🎶

Madrid, 6 December 2023 Once upon a time, decades long ago, Bon Jovi gave a stunning, provoking hardrock show Taking risks and bringing it, they hit it where they could For better or for worse; Jonny was not good Yet 34 years later, and 11 months to the date Osaka 89, would still fascinate The value of this story, is not to be of shock But to learn that fortune, favors those who rock. the Sint This was the Sinterklaas rhyme to accompany the present of hAnD90’s remaster of Bon Jovi, Osaka 6 January 1989 Bon Jovi Osaka, 6 January 1989 has been added to my playlist: New in Bon Jovi concerts before 1997 And to the playlist: “Part II: Bon Jovi concerts on this day 6 Dec-9 June (before 1997) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiGoDE3C06ScbVI_oPZcf77OtrO_935JD” at 6 January.
