BON JOVI BEST. CONCERT. EVER!
Hands down Jon is the ultimate performer. He engaged the crowd, flirted with them, teased them and was so charming. He’s so unbelievably personable. This is why after 20 years he is able to draw the crowds to his concerts. The music was amazing and it was so much fun! I LOVED it! Best concert EVER! I’ve seen big names perform and by far Bon Jovi has blown all of them out of the water. He’s amazing! We were beside the stage in the second balcony! Awesome seats! We were able to see so much! I took pics but they of course didn’t turn out but I did do video so I’ll try to upload them to youtube then post it here… I did a few, but was too busy dancing and singing to all the other songs. He had the audience sing “Living on a Prayer” and join him in singing his songs. It was just so much fun! People were up on their feet dancing, singing, screaming and enjoying the music. Excellent night! He is so interactive with the crowd. He had a stage set up by the penalty boxes over to the side of the arena and he played 5 songs there. He ended off the night by running into the crowd and giving everyone high 5’s or touching them as he went by. He sang his way out of the arena. How amazing! He wasn’t afraid to get down to the audience level and be with them. He even made the comment, “I just want to stay here amongst the fans.” His stage was small so it allowed for more people to fit in the arena. When a fan threw up a concert t-shirt, he wiped his face in the t-shirt and threw it back. Then she threw it up a scarf and he says, “You keep throwing stuff up at me… this doesn’t suit me, it’s pink!” But he wore it around his neck then threw it back at her. He was so sweet and so nice to his fans. I’ve heard that at some concerts fans get kicked out for doing that kind of thing. It was nice to see that he realizes the fans need for interaction and he loves his fans and loves to interact back. He’s an amazing performer.
After the concert was over I got Ryan to put me on his shoulders and give me a ride back to the car because I could barely walk. I got these boots with a crazy high heel and was up dancing all night long. It was so funny. He kept galloping like a horse or running into trees. We were just being so goofy. It was fun. It was such a wonderful night. Before the concert, we went out to Montana’s for supper and played x&o’s on the table while we waited for dinner. He kicked my butt. We were laughing and teasing each other all night long. By the time we got to the concert Hedley was already playing. We got to watch them do only one song before they were done. I’m bummed cuz I love Hedley. I got Shauna a Lost Highway Concert t-shirt cuz she gave up her ticket so Ryan could go and cuz she was sick. She missed such a good time! I got a sexy black Bon Jovi thong… lol… so cute.
We just had a wonderful evening and it really rekindled our relationship. We haven’t been going out as much this year on our weekly dates and we are lucky if we even get out once a month. I’m high maintenance. I like to go out lots. I need to spend time with Ryan apart from the kids to help me remember why I fell in love with him and why we are a good match together. It’s so easy to get caught up in daily life and to forget to bring the spark and romance back into the relationship. I loved going out with him to this concert. We really needed this. So thank you so much to my friend Shauna for getting sick, giving up her ticket to Ryan and for Bon Jovi for putting on an excellent show. It was seriously the best concert ever! Next time he comes to Calgary, I’m going to get tickets!
