@@harryking9674Yes 70's to. Boston, Elton, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac man I was born in 1970 and by the time I could walk and talk I was jumping off our couch onto the pillows on the floor doing front flips to all my Mother's 45's dam wish we could go back and do again then the 80's came a lot of good bands like 'The Car's, Madonna The Cure that's when the Girls started happening ! 👍
He toured with the Scorpions that summer (‘84) as their warmup band. I got to see him when he played in Charlevoix, Michigan. Absolutely ELECTRIC. He almost stole the show. We had close seats too! Back then you could get concert tickets for $12-15. Good times!!!
The 80s were the best and American bandstand was a great show and never missed it. What a treasure and thank you RUclips and technology. This is with Bon Jovi back in the day! Love you, Dick Clark, and rest in peace and love you, Bon Jovi and the gang still rockin! ❤
I was a senior in 1984 and I can't count how many times I've seen them live! Love that Jon serves his community after all his success! I dated a guy who was a few years older, played guitar in a band and he had Bon Jovi hair, lol! Man those were the days!
Mark Goodman was talking about how funny this is on Sirius today so I had to look it up. Great album. I was in Jr High when this album came out. Saw them twice in 89 with Skid Row.
You were listening to the same show I was I was doing my UPS route when I heard the same thing that’s why I came here to check it out. Nothing really funny that I saw though.
@@John-w2w2q true, I really liked them and still do. I thought this was awesome, other than it being not live, lip syncing at its best, and not a cord plugged in for the guitars or mic, but hey, that was the awesome 80's.
“She Don’t Know me” was actually my first fav song by BJ. Found out later it’s one of if not the only song Jon and the band didn’t write?? I can’t remember if they played it when they opened up for the Scorpions but I know I haven’t heard it played live after that? I’m going out on a limb and saying these two songs on AB were 100% lip synced. I’m so glad they left that behind as that’s when Jon’s voice was incredible! I hope this cutting edge surgery he had on his chords helped him. I know he was pretty upset but Father Time gets even the best singers.”
Getting signed to a major label, having hit radio songs, going on world tours, videos being shown on MTV & performing on Dick Clark’s “American Bandstand”…Wow!!!
Got to admit.. They were pretty tight. Remember when this came on the stage. Fresh, new, big hair, great pants !! 😅 Time goes by fast.. Thank you Maynard James..
Great footage. I was 12 yrs old at this time and fully in to MTV. I bought this album that same year, but somehow missed this AB appearance. Great to watch!
Ha this made me smile...sum great memories!! Saw them in concert several times, and they rocked tha house! Wish I could go back...the clothes, the big hair, the bad azz fast cars and the music!🤘
1984 I was 15 going on 16 what an awesome time looking at this ugly world that we live in now can I go back to 1980 and it's relive it all over and stay there
After hearing their hit song Runaway on the radio I went out and bought the cassette tape which I still have to this day. Also while at work back in 83 I was the fourth caller to my local radio station and won two tickets to see them perform live at a night club on US 1 in NJ just as they were starting their career. Forgot the name of the club but it was a great time. Miss the 80's!
I love how Jon said that his band is opening up for The Scorpions. Who knew that just a few years later Bon Jovi would be the headliner band? I also like how Jon introduced David by his real name, David Rashbaum.
But he was the one who coined Steve Perry as ‘the Voice’. Jon was humble enough about his talent to be able and willing to praise others. Admirable of him.
yep, they were going to open for the Scorpions, Love At First Sting tour. I caught them in chicago in spring of 84, had never heard of them at that show.
Seems like forever ago. Yet it brings me back like it was yesterday. ~ I will forever love you Bon Jovi. My very early teenage years when I was just becoming women. Jon Bon Jovi was my first true love, although he never quite knew it. lol But that young girl turned into a women one day and she got to meet him and the band. Yes, that was me and it was the highlight of my entire life. Never will forget these amazing memories and all the concerts I want to. ~ Forever in my heart. 🩷
Nothing but raw talent and wanted it I was getting ready in two years to start my first band I copied everything he did the hairstyle clothes the sound he signed me a microphone I was the frontman and Ritchie signed me a strat guitar still a huge fan but I didn't make it but it awesome fun wish I could have made it
I saw Bon Jovi open for Ratt in 1985. 7800 degrees Fahrenheit. Was there new lp. I liked it. But they hit it big time after that. I still love this song.
I only watched AB when they had JBJ and my musicians. Although I can’t knock the show so many people loved it. They are so adorable, this was the year I was hooked. Jon had me, back then they had 3-4 guys sporting the same perms and long hair earrings and more makeup than I wore. It took me a few days to nail down its Jon not the others. Thanks for the journey Jon!
La magia de Jon,desde el principio,el lider de Bon Jovi,el todo , con su calida voz y esa belleza incomparable...... Maravilloso Jon Bon Jovi ,te amo desde siempre❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Man the 80s were the best times
60's were a blast.
Yes they were. 👍😎👍
@@tonys1210 К СОЖАЛЕНИЮ, ЧТО БЫЛИ
Not really.
I concur says this 80s girl 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is funny....they are timeless and they had no idea back then the journey ahead and the millions of records they would sell..Love them❤🥰
Oh boy they had no clue...Life was about to take a HUGE turn for them.
I was 13 living outside of Boston, fast forward to 1987 and I was living in Hawaii and went to the very last show of the Slippery When Wet tour.,
Too bad this wasn’t a live performance. It’s a lip sync of the studio recording. Terrible. 👍🏻✌🏻
I knew theyd be a hit first time i heard them Still love them
I have a Boston too. Best damn dog ever!!
R.I.P Alec John Such
Just 2 years later they penned “Wanted Dead Or Alive” greatest rock ballad on the planet!🤘
I wouldn't consider Wanted Dead or Alive a ballad.
They changed a lot in those 2 years....Jon got much less gawky and clumsy on stage. They definitely got cooler....Style and substance improved a lot.
@@7Earthsky 100%🤘
American Bandstand brought the world the greatest genre of music and talent
Yet never let them play live….
I had just turned 13 when this aired. It's one of my "go to" songs on my ride home from work, to this day....and I'm 50 yrs old!
They’re all so young & cute on this show! So very long ago…I miss the 80s!
Cartoons and then Bandstand- Saturday morning in early 80s
Take me back!!
The BEST times!!
Yes sir . Every Saturday morning. After football. Jr. Pro football lol
The 80s were the best time in history to be growing up.
Not really the 60s with the British invasion and the 70s were the best years from music the greatest bands

Totally agree graduated from h.s in 1985
Not really 90s were much better bill Clinton was ten times better than jelly bean boy lol
The 80s had the best concerts for sure!
I remember seeing this when it aired. I was 13 and thought he was the most Beautiful man I'd ever seen 😊
No te equivocaste es el más guapo y hermoso de todos!!! ❤
I agree! I was also 13! And still a fan!
Richie was cuter
Ditto!
He still is!! He has aged very well! And kept the same wife too!!
❤😂 Married my wife in 1984 and I was a senior in high school back then.. what an awesome song I lived it!!!..... Peace ✌️ out WARRIOR 💯
They were so young and sweet. No idea how their lives would change 2 years from then ❤
This footage is historic

1984 wjat an incredible year..
I remember listening to Bon Jovi cruising in my 1985 IROC-Z, class of 85!
This is a promising band. I think they’re going to make it big.
🤔
Lol
😂
🤭🤭🤭🤭
I've heard good things about them 😂
my favorite during my high school years!!! 1987 baby 😊 Jon and Ritchie Sambora ❤
I was a senior in 1984 and I can't count how many times I've seen them live! Love that Jon serves his community after all his success! I dated a guy who was a few years older, played guitar in a band and he had Bon Jovi hair, lol! Man those were the days!
Indeed 💯 ❤
I was a Senior also Class of 84

I watched this performance the day it aired, awesome!!!😊
sooo many great Hair bands in 80s - Cinderella, Europe , Ratt, Quiet Riot, Journey, the list is endless
Fast-forward to 2024 and still jamming this 🎸🎶🎶🎶
Crazy...I remember when this aired....
❤me too❤ I was 19
Getting signed to a major label, having hit radio songs, going on world tours, videos being shown on MTV & performing on Dick Clark’s “American Bandstand”…Wow!!!
I know right who would ever think it possible with an uncle head of a major recording studio…it’s mostly who ya know, ya know?
BonJovi its never to late to discover them.
Got to admit.. They were pretty tight. Remember when this came on the stage. Fresh, new, big hair, great pants !! 😅 Time goes by fast.. Thank you Maynard James..
Love this video of the star band! Always enjoyed Dick Clark show especially when Bon Jovi band was entertaining everyone! ♥️🌟👋
Seen this and thinking, the signers cute but cocky. 30+ yrs later, still playing and helping his community and still looking good.
Which one's the signer
Great footage. I was 12 yrs old at this time and fully in to MTV. I bought this album that same year, but somehow missed this AB appearance. Great to watch!
Ha this made me smile...sum great memories!! Saw them in concert several times, and they rocked tha house! Wish I could go back...the clothes, the big hair, the bad azz fast cars and the music!🤘
Great times!!!!!
I always loved the Runaway song! ♥️🌟👋
1984 I was 15 going on 16 what an awesome time looking at this ugly world that we live in now can I go back to 1980 and it's relive it all over and stay there
It's funny how we never realized they were all lipsyncing back in the day😂😂😂😂
Some of the best memories in music.
Miss AB and dick Clark 😢🎵🎶🎤
I remember wondering why they didn't speak into the mic theybwere just singing through haha. The doors ruined it on ed Sullivan bye saying "high"
However, no Arsenio Hall's show years later the bands played live, and it was loud. LOL
No instruments were plugged in. 😉
They are FOREVER LEGENDARY! ♥️♥️♥️ Man I love them!!!!
My 20s were in the 80s . I love that music then and still love it today ❤️ 😍 💕 ❤❤❤❤❤
Man i miss the 80"s & 90's. Such a great time to grow up in. Love these jeresy boys as well. Much love from Kentucky!!
I love the 80s was so lucky to grow up in this era John bonjovi was my favorite band ❤️. Love him till the end and beyond ❤️.
After hearing their hit song Runaway on the radio I went out and bought the cassette tape which I still have to this day.

I really enjoyed rewatching this. I remember watching this back in my childhood hood. I’ve always had a crush on Bon Jovi. 😍😂
I love each one of them. I wonder how they felt lipsyncing that whole thing. Still love it.
05:21 Didn't know that was how Richie joined the band, how awesome!
Incredible start!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
So Blessed to have been growing up in the 80s. ♥️🎵🙌🎸✨️
RIP Alec.
I love how Jon said that his band is opening up for The Scorpions. Who knew that just a few years later Bon Jovi would be the headliner band? I also like how Jon introduced David by his real name, David Rashbaum.
I saw them in 1984 backing up The Scorpions and I kind of died. 🥰
I saw them open for RATT. They didn't do "she dont know me" I was mad
So young and cute 🥰 Richie!!! The clothes ! The perms! Miss the 80s! All those who say Jon doesn’t have a good voice, can go and eat dust.
But he was the one who coined Steve Perry as ‘the Voice’. Jon was humble enough about his talent to be able and willing to praise others. Admirable of him.
The 80s were the best ever!!! The best time of my life!!! One of the best bands of the 80s!!! Great rock band!!!❤❤❤...
Come on now they should have millions of 👍 get with it! They are awesome’. ❤😅😊
I had this on vinyl. I had their second album on cassette tape.
yep, they were going to open for the Scorpions, Love At First Sting tour. I caught them in chicago in spring of 84, had never heard of them at that show.
Notice that when Jon introduces Bryan David, the band's keyboardist, he uses Bryan's real last name.
I noticed
Jooz especially back then always hid their identity by changing their joo names to something more western.
Great wonderful memories I grew up on ❤❤thank you for the reminder
Bon jovi had the best hair.
Love this song and video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
1 of my favorite bands ❤ yall please do 1 more tour .. the world needs good music again !!
The mighty BON JOVI💯🎸💣🙌🤟👏👑👑👑
彼の一時の時間🌹何時の日も懐かしい曲の思い出は色褪せて🌹貴方の音色に誘われて🎤🎸😎
Young but stars even back then.

We had the Best Bands! & Bon Jovi was definitely an all Time Favorite for most of us Xers. Loved American Bandstand
I saw them open for the Scropions in 1984
I was 27. Loved him then and still love him❤
Always a fan of the star band Jovi! ♥️🌟👋
That's the great Tim Pierce on that guitar solo...
I saw Bon Jovi open for Ratt in 1985. 7800 degrees Fahrenheit. Was there new lp. I liked it. But they hit it big time after that. I still love this song.
Csodálatos hangod van.
First time seeing them was opening for Ratt at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis in 1985. Great show! Hard to believe almost 40 years ago!
Ο BON JOVI είναι καλλιτεχναρα,, έξυπνος και έκανε διάνα στην επιλογή συζύγου . Να έχει παντού επιτυχίες όπου επιθυμεί.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I loved watching American Bandstand! I was a 70's watcher, some 80's. It was all good!
I only watched AB when they had JBJ and my musicians. Although I can’t knock the show so many people loved it.
They are so adorable, this was the year I was hooked. Jon had me, back then they had 3-4 guys sporting the same perms and long hair earrings and more makeup than I wore.
It took me a few days to nail down its Jon not the others. Thanks for the journey Jon!
The lead solo was actually played by Tim Pierce on the album’s recording studio.
When this aired my dad had just graduated highschool and became an uncle, and my mom had just moved from new york times fly
That was sone great lip sinking and air guitar
They did a great job of lip synchronization to their studio recording! 👏
It was probably the last time nobody knew their name. 🤟 Love them foreva!! Seen them in Madison Square Garden 1988 I think it was.
In the beginning ❤❤❤Thank you very much GOD bless Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 Nostrovia
I wore that exact shirt to Applebee's last week
Ese video es una joya en la carrera de bon jovi. los inicios
The TV host said "Sounds like a French Band". He never thought that they would change the world a couple of years later.
That’s Dick Clark.
You know you’re super old when you were on Dick Clark’s bandstand!! 😝
Watched it on AB-fell in love with their sound!❤
This was the first time I every saw BON JOVI ..been a diehard fan every since 😊😊😊
Great🎵 Music 🎶
Awesome Band
💥💥💥💥💥
Great hair styles!
La magia de Jon,desde el principio,el lider de Bon Jovi,el todo , con su calida voz y esa belleza incomparable...... Maravilloso Jon Bon Jovi ,te amo desde siempre❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What an entry 2 song performance
Pure,raw vocals
Already making presence felt
Hahaha they are not playing or singing live on a.b.
I was a teenager when I saw these guys on tv my mom said Derrick it's bon jovi
I love this song and group! Very talented and very good looking! ❤😊
Nothing like the 80s
I was in the NAVY when this came out. I saw the 1st tour in Jacksonville, FL.
いつの日もあの頃の時代は!いつまでも色褪せないアルバムがここにある。プレイバッグもう1度あの時代の貴方の歌声をもう1度聴かせて🎸🎹🎤😎夜明けの逃亡者😎😎😎🌙🌗
I don't even care about the lip synching, I still love it. They were so cool, Jon and his "holey" shirt is classic. These were great times.
99% of stars lip-syched on that Program,.Van Halen as well~
Aired right before my birthday.
Man they came out kicking hard God bless us all 💕🙏
My favorite group since I was a teenager and still is ❤
I remember seeing this. I was 9 in 84
I love this band ! ❤ Tour one more time
Congratulaciones Jon Bon Jovi ♥️♥️♥️♥️🗽🇺🇲🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎶🎧🎶Love ♥️♥️♥️Forever ♥️♥️♥️♥️
