I saw that show, but it was general admission which meant you could stand on the floor or pick your seats. We chose the floor. Not bad for twenty something dollars. My kids are so jealous.😅
If you two can imagine an entire crowd fully engaged, no cellphones or cameras, maybe a lighter..lol but just completely focused completely on the band on stage....that was the beauty of going to a concert back in the 80s
Can't believe you haven't done Wanted Dead or Alive yet. It's one of their biggest hits and played daily on most classic rock stations. Definitely needs to be on your Jovi resume.
Jbj has never gotten enough praise for his showmanship. His powerful stage presence. His ability to move tens of thousands of people in the arenas, etc. Great reaction you guys!
I also saw them live in '89 at Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport, Louisiana! My sister and I put hand prints on the butt of our ripped jeans and painted "lay your hands on me" in puff paint 😆
A couple other great Bon Jovi songs to check out are "Have a Nice Day" and "Raise your Hands" Also bon Jovi is a really good person in general, he owns a couple restaurants where you pay whatever you can for anything on the menu and if you can't afford to pay anything (like if you're homeless or something) you can work for your meal if you're able to but if not you don't have to pay. And his restaurants are supposed to have really good food too.
There wasn’t nothing as cool as them opening the concert with this. When he popped up out of the floor… we all went nuts. Some of the best and most fun concerts I’ve been to.
Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora... MTV Video Music Awards... Livin' on a Prayer/Wanted Dead or Alive. Basically started the whole "Unplugged" movement that many of the 80s rock bands followed. You will love it, I assure you. You got to give the people what they want!
They opened with this song when I saw them live in '90 at Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport, Louisiana. My sister and I painted hand prints on the butt of our ripped jeans and painted "lay your hands on me" in puff paint 😆 Absolutely epic show that I still think about almost 35 years later!
Anyone who got to see Bon Jovi on the Slippery When Wet amd New Jersey tours like myself experienced the hey days of Bon Jovi taking fans and arenas, stadiums by storm they were truly so huge and couldn't miss with their songwriting and performances. They ruled. If you want to know just how big they were read the book Hitman about the big moguls who owned the major record labels in the 80s. Bon Jovi literally rescued and saved Polygram records and really set the tone for the Hair Band craze. Bon Jovi is more than that label but every company wanted a clone Bon Jovi. Jon helped Kevin Sabo and Skid Row, Cinderella and others and wrote songs for other artists like Alice Cooper.
Saw this band live. Forget 90 minutes or 2 hour sets. THREE HOURS of hit after hit after hit. If you like this one the next one has to be RAISE YOUR HANDS. You will love it
Their live performances are insane! Richie Sambora is truly ridiculously amazing and has great solo work as well! I always had a bit of a crush on him since I was a kid 😊
Bon Jovi standing on a T bar as he floated over the crowd singing silent night to end the show on slippery when wet tour will always be one of my greatest concert memories
Last time I saw them in the early 2000s…. What a great show. They really give incredible music. Best thing was Ritchie Sambora, his vocals and I counted 17 different guitars. He’s very underrated. And before the facelift, he was some sweet eye candy! Can’t afford concert tickets anymore!
Absolutely love Bon Jovi! Don't have a bad song, great rockers, fantastic ballads, wonderful videos, what's not to love? Please give us some more Bon Jovi!
Cheers, fam!! A good follow up to this would be "Raise Your Hands!". Their success is hard to describe. They were PHENOMENAL!!! As a 20 something during their debut, I can say they were REALLY something!!! Not as hard as the "Crue", not as "traditional" as Aerosmith, or international as AC/DC. They were AMERICAN rockers that DOMINATED their particular niche...
My very 1st concert right here 1989 when I was 19. I was on the side of the stage so could see him pop up through the floor to kick the night off. It was just the best concert!!!
Bon Jovi still involves the audience. I believe Bon Jovi is still rocking. I've been to his concert .. they're awesome❣️ He also acted in a couple movies. Thnx j & Amber. Enjoy the evening.
I was not a fan, but my wife wanted to go see him in the 90s and he totally made me a fan, consummate showman and a great band! I think this my favorite song. Loved your reaction when it kicked in full gear!
You guys haven't even scratched the surface yet with Bon Jovi. Every song from Slippery When Wet, New Jersey, and Keep the Faith was great. The song Keep the Faith has one of the best opening bass lines.
I love that BonJovi videos are so often about their concerts because they were even better live every time I saw them. They made an effort to make catwalks or fly over the audience in a harness in a arena so it wasn’t just the front rows to see Jon up close. It was crazy but it made you feel like they cared about all their fans.
This brings back so many memories!!! I saw Bon Jovi 8 times in concert and was blown away every time! I loved growing up in the 80’s and seeing so many great bands!!
I was there in 1984 when Bon Jovi debuted with Runaway. I bought every album. This one was on New Jersey album in 1988. Most of their epic hits were on the 3rd and 4th albums. Check out their more obscure 2nd album with hits like "In And Out of Love" and Tokyo Road". You've still missed their heaviest rocker "Raise Your Hands". Jay has probably heard it at stadium ball games.
You guys like a lot of people including me, have not seen Bon Jovi in concert and they know that....son this is a video that shows people who never seen them in concert what goes on in their concerts. Great band! Great reaction!!!
Seen this LIVE back in the day and 2 other times also and they always gave you your moneys worth. Great with the fans, always seemed personal. Just a hell of alot of FUN. The way its suppose to be. Love you guys❤❤
Bon Jovi always put on a great great, entertaining show..... lights, fireworks, boardwalks, wires to fly them over the crowd..... plus you know they were having fun up there and wanted to be there. Hell, even saw them one day at an outdoor show in Sydney where it stormed so bad it hailed (nowhere to hide from that in the crowd) and rained so hard that it delayed the start of the concert, but they still came out after and played for 2+ hrs then did an encore as people started to stream out of the venue. Amazing singers, songwriters, musicians and entertainers, a pity that Ritchie didn't stick around longer but still they are/were an amazing band that took a lot of crap because of Jon's looks, but they showed that they weren't just a glam rock band. 'Bed Of Roses my fave song of theirs, Dry County (extended version), Born to be my baby, Living In Sin, Thank you for Loving Me'.... lots of great songs. Another one sung by Richie is "If I Can't Have Your Love' showcases his amazing voice, 'Memphis lives in me' is another great one sung by the keyboardist Dave Bryan.....
Classic Bon Jovi. Their concerts are always a great time. I've seen them numerous times. The last one was canceled due to the pandemic. They did a few shows in the States after that and it seems like Jon has lost his voice. Hopefully he gets it back. Would love to see them again.
I was 18 when this came out and saw them on this tour. One of the best concerts I've seen. I tried to go to every show that came within a 200 mile radius of my area. Good times I miss those days. Now I'm just an old fart lol
If I had a time machine, I would go back to this show at Giants Stadium. I get chills every time I watch this video. Fortunately, i did get to see them there 12 years later. My best friend and I made a trip out of it by going to his childhood home, his high school, and his current home.
I had Jon Bon Jovi all over my room in high school. The walls, the door, my furniture... I had a door poster on the front of my bedroom door so it was visible in the hallway when I closed my door and went to bed and my mom would say goodnight to him. 😂
I still remember going with my mom to the 1st show on this tour with this stage and set up in Dallas, Tx in 1988. And when they came out that place went absolutely nuts.
Their live version of this song from Wembley Stadium in 1995 was out of this world Edit: this same show they did a song called Dry County - if you want to see some serious Richie Sambora skills, this is the one
Omg. Bon Jovi ruled my life from about 15 to 17. Saw them live and it was incredible! 52 now and still love them. Takes me right back to the 80s! Best time of my life!
*I still have my T-shirt & ticket stub from this concert at the Tacoma Dome May 10, 1989, when they shot this video. We got this intro & song at the start of the show and again in the middle. He told us they were gonna take a break and everyone go to the bathroom and fix their makeup & hair so everyone's "camera ready". It was a blast.*
It was the best time to be alive and to be a teenager. I had more posters of this man on my wall. It was crazy and I saw him seven times in concert. I truly feel bad for people that didn’t live in that decade🥲 Gen X !!Rock on🤘🤘
I absolutely love that you guys are giving metal a second life through fresh eyes by viewing and reacting to videos like this.. Though Ozzy is labeled as the "prince of darkness", an artist that ends up playing "second banana" to Ozzy is Alice Cooper.. And he's one HELL of a showman / musician...
Been waiting for SO long for this one. A banger from start to finish. The EXTENDED official video for We're Not Gonna Take It (Twisted Sister) and Kids Wanna Rock (Bryan Adams) are two more that I would LOVE to see your reactions too. Much love from Canada! :)
This made me take a trip down memory lane! Lets turn the dial back to February 17, 1987. It was a Tuesday, a time of big hair and spandex. And for a whopping $16.50 (parking included), my friend and I headed to the Lee Civic Center in Fort Myers Florida to witness Bon Jovi's first US tour. It was a time of general admission. Every ticket cost $16.50. The seats were first come, first serve. The arena wasnt large (7800 capacity) but was a sold out show. We rocked. We rolled. We raised our fist in the air. We sang at the top of our lungs. And we danced. Lord did we dance. And sing. Probably the most memorable moment was JBJ flying through the air on wires to an elevated landing pad in the middle of the arena to give a guitar solo to EVERYONE. Just amazing. Thanks for the trip down memory lane ❤
As a veteran of seeing these guys at least 8-9 times (I’ve lost count) and well over 300 gigs in total, they are STILL one of THE best live bands I have ever seen. I was fortunate enough to see them from the Slippery Tour to the New Jersey tour mostly and they were on top of the world at that point. Sell out crowds, noise like ive never heard from crowds before, engagement and pure and utter showmanship…..I’ve been to some incredible gigs in my time but to have the WHOLE package, these guys were Damon hard to beat in the late 80’s. Awesome stuff. The video only just scratches the surface of what it was like to actually be there
In my youth i was Bon Jovi mad and followed them around the country when ever they come to the UK so i could catch every show they played. On this tour they had the walkway over the crowd and one night at the Birmingham NEC show Jon who was above me on the walkway notice i was trying to get his picture and called over Richie who wasn't that far away from him so i could get both of them in the shot. It really was awesome and i treasure that photo because when i look at it it takes me back to when life was just so magical and the only problem's we ever had was how we was going to get to the next gig. I really do miss the good old days.
I was so excited when I saw this notification pop up! I KNEW you guys would love it! One of my faves of Bon Jovi, used to blast this so loud in my car and my middle school age son wanted it louder. Awesome song to rock out to in the car!
There you go….love the anthemic & harder rocking vibe of Bon Jovi!!! For the more sensual side, try “Living in Sin”…the video is a real eye opener ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
![[DOKKAN BATTLE] Worldwide Campaign Announcement Video](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zxfEiMksZQs/mqdefault.jpg)
There is nothing like a Bon Jovi concert in the 80s!!!!
I wish I could've seen them then.
I agree. Saw them 4 times
I’m old so I was fortunate to see them opening or being opened for From their Self Titled with Ratt to New Jersey with Cinderella!
I saw them twice (80’s and 90’s) but what I would do for those times again!!!
Are you serious the 80s belong to Springsteen and his concerts they were legendary no comparison
Arena rock at its finest. Jay’s comment: “What a time to be alive” sums it up perfectly. Yes, it was.
We had 3rd row seats on the New Jersey tour. Skid Row opened, and Bon Jovi started their set with this song. What a show, what a night.
I am so jealous!
Same show. Portland, OR. 8th row. PHENOMENAL!
My fav album of theirs. Wore that tape out. Not a bad song
Seen them together in Cleveland
I saw that show, but it was general admission which meant you could stand on the floor or pick your seats. We chose the floor. Not bad for twenty something dollars. My kids are so jealous.😅
If you two can imagine an entire crowd fully engaged, no cellphones or cameras, maybe a lighter..lol but just completely focused completely on the band on stage....that was the beauty of going to a concert back in the 80s
And I miss those concerts so much. We'll never have that experience again.
They were good times and tickets were cheap compared to today crappy shows.
You Hit It Right On, Sorensmith. No Distractions; just totally immersed in performance !!
Rock On Forever.
No cells ! Just people enjoying the hell out of their lives! Bon Jovi is legendary!
So BLESSED to be in the same room as them❤❤
yes indeed madaam
Can't believe you haven't done Wanted Dead or Alive yet. It's one of their biggest hits and played daily on most classic rock stations. Definitely needs to be on your Jovi resume.
well said pal!
Cos I'm a cowboy.....on a steel-horse I ride....& I'm Wanted..Dead or Alive(was what Drove me...Into the(rock-steady)-arms...of BON Jovi) . 🤩
This! Definitely needs to be on the list!
A must do!!!
Jbj has never gotten enough praise for his showmanship. His powerful stage presence. His ability to move tens of thousands of people in the arenas, etc. Great reaction you guys!
Amen on that!!! I seen them Live in Chicago and it was 1 of THE BEST NIGHTS OF MY LIFE!!!
Yeh, thats not true. JBJ has plenty of praise.
@@scarimorales2222 Plenty but not enough.
🤘😎🤘 The '80s... What a time to be alive!
Richie Sambora totally ROCKS!!! Jon Bon Jovi is an exceptional humanitarian!!! 🎵🎼🎶🥁🎤🎙🎸🎹🔥🤘💕
Richie Sambora is 100% UNDERRated as a player
Mediocre at best.
"Raise your Hands" and "In These Arms" are two more great Bon Jovi songs
When I saw them live in '89, they opened with this song. Amazing concert. Check out their song "Keep the Faith". It rocks!
They opened with this song when I saw them in 1989, as well. That concert is one of the best concerts I have ever attended.
I saw then twice in 89 at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Skid Row was their opening act.
I also saw them live in '89 at Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport, Louisiana! My sister and I put hand prints on the butt of our ripped jeans and painted "lay your hands on me" in puff paint 😆
A couple other great Bon Jovi songs to check out are "Have a Nice Day" and "Raise your Hands" Also bon Jovi is a really good person in general, he owns a couple restaurants where you pay whatever you can for anything on the menu and if you can't afford to pay anything (like if you're homeless or something) you can work for your meal if you're able to but if not you don't have to pay. And his restaurants are supposed to have really good food too.
He can afford to subsidize that, but Panera Bread tried that too and it didn't work.
@@yaimavol Bon Jovi isn't "Trying that" he's been doing it for like 15-20 years
@@js6729 That's how rich he is. It's a charity write off for him
@@yaimavol he actually doesn't write it off though...
There wasn’t nothing as cool as them opening the concert with this. When he popped up out of the floor… we all went nuts. Some of the best and most fun concerts I’ve been to.
Bon Jovi helped define music's greatest era, the 80s!
That is exactly like they opened in concert, Blew me away
Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora... MTV Video Music Awards... Livin' on a Prayer/Wanted Dead or Alive. Basically started the whole "Unplugged" movement that many of the 80s rock bands followed. You will love it, I assure you. You got to give the people what they want!

Cinderalla was just bad. They opened for the SWW tour and it was painful to sit through
This is EXACTLY what a Bon Jovi concert was like….legendary!!!

You will love it
I have been to 5 Bon Jovi concerts…. One in 1989 and then later in the 2000’s. Nothing like it!!
You can never have too much Bon Jovi
Their live performances are insane! Richie Sambora is truly ridiculously amazing and has great solo work as well! I always had a bit of a crush on him since I was a kid 😊
It all started with that damn cowboy hat in Wanted Dead or Alive :)
@@photojennifer Oh, I’m sure of it! ☺️
The whole New Jersey album is fire 🔥 👌
💖💖💖 Love this song! You need "Wanted Dead Or Alive", "In These Arms", "Miracle" and "(You Want To) Make A Memory".
"Wanted" is a Must for Bon Jovi reactions.
They did "wanted" a while back.
@@rickmiller4202 I was thinking they had, but I didn't see it on their list of Bon Jovi reactions.
I love the song Miracle. 🥰
Bon Jovi standing on a T bar as he floated over the crowd singing silent night to end the show on slippery when wet tour will always be one of my greatest concert memories
I second the Sugarland (Jennifer Nettles) and Bon Jovi duet "Who Says You Can't Go Home" suggestion.
Last time I saw them in the early 2000s…. What a great show. They really give incredible music. Best thing was Ritchie Sambora, his vocals and I counted 17 different guitars. He’s very underrated. And before the facelift, he was some sweet eye candy! Can’t afford concert tickets anymore!
Heard he might be coming back. Haven't heard any updates yet
@@andreadeamon6419 Jon needs his backup vocals.
Not a cellphone in sight. Full attention and audience participation with the music and the band, just as it should be. I truly miss those days.
Absolutely love Bon Jovi! Don't have a bad song, great rockers, fantastic ballads, wonderful videos, what's not to love? Please give us some more Bon Jovi!
Bon Jovi - Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland) duet is great... "Who Says You Can't Go Home"
Cheers, fam!! A good follow up to this would be "Raise Your Hands!".

In the 90s, Bon Jovi actually got more famous outside of the US, especially in the UK.
I have been to 3 Bon Jovi concerts in Melbourne Australia & they all kicked ass! 😎🔥🤘🎸
My very 1st concert right here 1989 when I was 19. I was on the side of the stage so could see him pop up through the floor to kick the night off. It was just the best concert!!!
This was definitely a great era to grow up in. Possibly the best.
Bon Jovi still involves the audience. I believe Bon Jovi is still rocking. I've been to his concert .. they're awesome❣️ He also acted in a couple movies. Thnx j & Amber. Enjoy the evening.
I was not a fan, but my wife wanted to go see him in the 90s and he totally made me a fan, consummate showman and a great band! I think this my favorite song. Loved your reaction when it kicked in full gear!
Bon Jovi put on a fantastic Live show .. The energy is incredible .
Those 80s concert pyrotechnics were something else. Good times!
Some of the best rock concerts ever in this Era of my life 😊❤
Good classic hair band concert footage. Shows how fun the concerts were back then. Pure energy and all your troubles melt away at a hair band concert
There was no better time for music than in the 80s. So many great groups touring and man do I miss the 80s.
You guys haven't even scratched the surface yet with Bon Jovi. Every song from Slippery When Wet, New Jersey, and Keep the Faith was great. The song Keep the Faith has one of the best opening bass lines.
Keep the Faith is the most underrated Bon Jovi song.
I love that BonJovi videos are so often about their concerts because they were even better live every time I saw them. They made an effort to make catwalks or fly over the audience in a harness in a arena so it wasn’t just the front rows to see Jon up close. It was crazy but it made you feel like they cared about all their fans.
I grew up in Jersey about 20 minutes away from these dudes. We're all sooooo proud of them! 🤟
He is from my hometown Sayreville
Bon Jovi never disappoints!🤘🏼❤
Another fine song from Bon Jovi. These guys were very popular here in the UK.
If you ever wondered what Summer of 1989 sounded like, this and Madonna's Express Yourself pretty much sums it up.
This brings back so many memories!!! I saw Bon Jovi 8 times in concert and was blown away every time! I loved growing up in the 80’s and seeing so many great bands!!
Hopefully the next Bon Jovi song you react to is "Bed Of Roses". Amber will absolutely love it! 😊⚘️🛏⚘️
There are no bad Bon Jovi songs!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bon jovi always makes me happy when I hear his music.

Went to Bon Jovi and Cinderella concert ,and it was the best concert ever!!!!!!!
I saw Bon Jovi in the late 80s in New Jersey. And in early 2000's in Las Vegas. Both fantastic.😊
You guys have to watch ALL the live performances!! You have no idea how amazing it is ❤
I saw Bon Jovi in concert in maybe 1993 and when they played this song it started exactly like the video!
Me too! My first concert was 93, then 95, then a bunch of them after 20000❤❤😅 traveled a lot to see them 😊
Been to several Bon Jovi concerts back in the day and they were always a party from start to finish
If I had a time machine, I would go back to this show at Giants Stadium. I get chills every time I watch this video. Fortunately, i did get to see them there 12 years later. My best friend and I made a trip out of it by going to his childhood home, his high school, and his current home.
Nothing like rocking back in the day. Words can't give it justice. U just had to be there.
I had Jon Bon Jovi all over my room in high school. The walls, the door, my furniture... I had a door poster on the front of my bedroom door so it was visible in the hallway when I closed my door and went to bed and my mom would say goodnight to him. 😂
I still remember going with my mom to the 1st show on this tour with this stage and set up in Dallas, Tx in 1988. And when they came out that place went absolutely nuts.
The definition of Stadium Rock. Practically an religious experience. An anthem.
I was fortunate to see them in concert back in the 80's and it was a damn good show! They certainly did not disappoint!

Bon Jovi is a great band. Great in concert.
I was born in 58 and got to experience the evolution of the best music ever! The 50s,60s,70s,80s 90s and still jamming today..❤😊
I always remember the quote "I might be old, but I got to see all the cool bands!" Yep!
I think NEW JERSEY is one of the 80 s greatest masterpieces. And not only of the 80 s, but of the rock history in general.
I absolutely love that you guys are giving metal a second life through fresh eyes by viewing and reacting to videos like this.. Though Ozzy is labeled as the "prince of darkness", an artist that ends up playing "second banana" to Ozzy is Alice Cooper.. And he's one HELL of a showman / musician...
No one sits at a Bon Jovi concert, except to wait for them to start. After that it's stand and participate from start to finish!
Been waiting for SO long for this one. A banger from start to finish. The EXTENDED official video for We're Not Gonna Take It (Twisted Sister) and Kids Wanna Rock (Bryan Adams) are two more that I would LOVE to see your reactions too. Much love from Canada! :)

I really don’t know how to explain how much more fun concerts were in the 80s and 90s
Bon Jovi Concerts Are The Best! In The 80’s and even in their later years!!! Amazing performers all around

It really was awesome and i treasure that photo because when i look at it it takes me back to when life was just so magical and the only problem's we ever had was how we was going to get to the next gig. I really do miss the good old days.
I saw them on this tour and this is how they opened the show - AMAZEBALLS!!!
Are you sure it wasn't Spaceballs? (Since Bon Jovi had a song in the movie Spaceballs lol)

April 30th, 1989...very pregnant and rocking out at a Bon Jovi concert. It's as much fun as you can have.
My first concert ever was a Bon Jovi concert in 1994! It was amazing! He was always such an amazing performer.
Unbroken is another excellent song by Bon Jovi and pretty recent too.
I was so excited when I saw this notification pop up! I KNEW you guys would love it! One of my faves of Bon Jovi, used to blast this so loud in my car and my middle school age son wanted it louder. Awesome song to rock out to in the car!
There you go….love the anthemic & harder rocking vibe of Bon Jovi!!! For the more sensual side, try “Living in Sin”…the video is a real eye opener ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Cool. This was another major hit for Jon Bon Jovi and the boys. Turn it up.
I saw this listed and immediately thought, "Oh man, they are going to LOVE this"
This song is my all time fave song of theirs, I also like their song called Bad Medicine, awesome songs. 😎🎸👌
