This video captures the excitement of a Bon Jovi concert during the ‘80s! The band and Jon were truly amazing! I got to see them on this tour three times. I’ll never forget it!
@@emilyallison7253 I can see that you're being raised correctly then Growing up learning the lessons that Bon Jovi taught us Blood on Blood Livin on a Prayer which taught is to stick together and then Born to be my baby which taught is to love with Passion and then......... ummmmm we had BAD MEDICINE and TOKYO ROAD LOL Ummmmm What to say :P Let's just skip to KING OF THE MOUNTAIN which taught us to never give up and SILENT NIGHT to Love with Passion yeah.. that'll do
I remember when I bought the Bon Jovi New Jersey Album, boy did I have trouble making the money (as a fifteen year old) to buy it. When I finnaly had the dough in my hands I went all excited to the record store, it was called Coco Disco and bought it! That night and for at least six other nights in a row I laid in bed enjoying that music on my cassete player, as only teenagers can!
I'm convinced Jon will go down as one of the greatest front men, up there with Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler. The style, the voice, the energy; he is the whole package. I've been listening since the 80s and Bon Jovi still rocks to this day.
We used to rent limos, so we could drink as much as we could. We had the boots, the long curly brown hair. The jackets...fringe and long leathers. Sometimes the cool black leather cowboy hats. Not always though. Didn't wanna mess up the hair. We have the limo driver park in front if the place . We fooled some girls, to think that we were the band, and when we stepped out, the girls were like, oh no, it's not them. Good times. Never missed a show, when they were close enough to go see.
Joseph Nock, I was born 1994 but I still listening to their songs almost every day up until today to be exact. So I don’t think I missed it😊 Old is gold❤️
I am now 16 years old and I've always loved rock music, especially Bon Jovi. I kinda wish I was there when it all started. music nowadays is just putting some recording in a pc and it will roll out sounding "good". in these times you actually had to sing to be a good artist. Bon Jovi for life!
@@Raccoon850 I remember these songs but was too young to buy records at the time. Some years later all hit hard with hits like, enter sandeman, symphony of destruction etc so I made a rewind and bought every hard rock/heavy metal album from these bands which led me to other bands, 80s and 70s. I remember thinking like you regarding bands from the 70s (where all started) but check these newer bands like, Crazy Lixx, Crashdiet, Reckless Love, Wig Wam, Eclipse.
There is something about the first couple of minutes that make me cry tears of deep sadness and the most elated tears of joy and appreciation. I miss the 80's and early 90's really bad.
It was an amazing opening song and he just appeared from under the stage. Probably the first band I saw where they came from below the stage. It was an amazing show. My friend got sick before we even got to the coliseum. I hated it for him. He missed a good show. We went to AC/DC in 91 so that made up for it.
I sit and for real cry thinking about n remembering those days. Over 30 years ago, my best friend and I did get to see their slippery when wet tour so I don't have to live with that regret! I made sure I saw them in person. It was everything I thought it would be!!!!!
Same.. that intro I swear!! Takes me back to my 14 yr old innocent self & not being fully prepared for how this concert made me feel.. it was SO INTENSE I almost couldn't handle it ❤🥹
I seen this show live I’m 55 years old now and it still gets me off my ass on my feet. I’ve been a fan when really nobody really knew Bon Jovi early early days friend of mine brother worked in Jersey brought back a bootleg cassette and the rest is history I’d love to go back to those days and live the 80’s one more time. People make fun of the big hair days, glam rock they call it but in my opinion it was the golden age of Rock N Roll and we will never experience that again. If you were there and seen BON JOVI, Motley Crue, GNR, Poison, Ozzy, Skid Row, Ratt and the hardest Rock Band in my opinion METALLICA then you know what I’m talking about you felt the energy in the place especially right before the show starts that’s why I love this video so much to me it’s the closest thing we have to bring us back to that very special moment in time.
Sexiest bloody, entertainers to walk the face of the Earth, all of them. Bon Jovi and all the rest. Kids today, truly, do not have a clue. They don't get it; it was ALL, part of the SHOW. And WHAT, a bloody, show it was, too. It was indeed, a special moment in time, one which I would go back to in a heartbeat, to relive again, if only I could.
Hi my son is in this video for long a moment he was raising jbj white shirt and later on jon was boxing with my son when they were younger his name is josh and it was a good concert with original members
Riiiight?!? Now when ‘kids’ go to concerts they’re so wrapped up in trying to film the concert they MISS the concert, the vibe, fucking ENERGY and the BAND
What an album this is and was. This, Bad Medicine, Born to be my baby, Blood on Blood, Homebound Train, Wild is the Wind, I'll be there for you, 99 in the shade ....... WOW. JUST WOW.
I got to see these guys back in the 80’s when they opened up for RATT! The entire Bon Jovi band was at a Hastings records signing autographs and taking pics. I was in line for about an hour then got to meet the guys and take their photos. IT WAS SO AMAZING! I still have those photos today, 2024! 🤘😝🤘
People listening to the music of today, streaming or on spotify will never have a clue to what we experienced in the 80s with the music and live concerts such as these, saw bon Jovi on the Jersey tour absolutely amazing, better place and time, I know you can't go back but we still have our memories of a better time
Remember me Jon. I was the little boy in the front row of this concert in Portland with the ear muffs on. My dad was holding me on his shoulders. Best night ever. I’m now 45. Crazy how time flys.
I was 20 years old when this song came out. Jon is still one of the best front men of all time and this is one of the best rock bands ever. My 2 kids love them. When my now 21 year old daughter saw this video for the first time last year, she said, "I can see why all you girls lost your minds for Jon back then...." 😂 I still love him and I've seen Bon Jovi live 3 times, they were amazing!!
1984, the year I graduated high school, the year I seen Bon Jovi warm up for the Scorpions, I had his first Album on cassette, knew every song by heart, I sure miss those days.
@@rhodestudios9442 Idk he night be right,this has a lot of TH-cam Views. Either way it's not really a mainstream genre anymore and probably won't be again.
One thing that can always be said about Bon Jovi concerts is the energy is always through the roof. There’s nothing like it in the world. I can’t wait for them to tour again. I need that energy in my life!! ❤️❣️
@@michellekuznecow4053 I saw them just over 20 times but they're not a patch on what they were, Jon's voice is pretty shot and without Sambora, phewww no chance
Nothing like the 80s Bon Jovi concert, I will never forget it” excitement, thrilling, memories #LakelandFlorida1989 #ForeverMemories #Legendary, fan forever!! 83-24 🫠❤️🗡️
I've always been so jealous of the people who grew up and experienced this in the 80s.When my parents tell me about how things were back then I just want to dissappear.My friends always I'm crazy because I'm a 13 old girl obsessed with anything 80s.I don't think any 13 year old in 2021 understands how I feel about 80s music.It puts in a different world and I'm so glad my parents educated me with the right music.Thank you for the absolute amazing music Bon Jovi ❤
It was AWESOME only thing is we were young & just thought life would always be the same, we'd all be the "cool" teenagers forever & this was just life !!!! 😝, 30 years later , STILL TOO COOL 😎 😝, just "older" & more experienced 😝✌️
Theres nothing wrong with you..you are just very atune to good music and good energy the 80s was the first time people like Bon Jovi stood up n said im doing it my way and actully knew what they were doing...it was a time when things were so real ....i think youre a smart person and realize this...and good to know someone of your age see this....dont ever change youre the real deal
It’s was the best !! I’m 52 graduated in 1987 and this era was amazing !! I watch these videos and just like you said, I disappear into my memories and just smile!
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame- Congratulations to Bon Jovi ❤ Jon is one of the BEST front men of all time!!! Awesome live!!! Coolest band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make a concert again bon jovi!!!
A friend of mine had two extra tickets and invited me and my wife to go with him. Atlanta the Omni March 1989. I didn’t know much about them other than the hits like Livin on a Prayer and Wanted Dead or Alive. They came on to this song with the drum and guitar build up and everyone went nuts. Then pyrotechnics and Jon appeared on stage out of nowhere and this song kicked in. I was in a state of euphoria and I thought I’d never heard a better opening song in all my life. And the good feel energy that Jon has was electrifying.
I was 29 years old when this came out l was on the USS Nimitz and with so many different age groups someone told me about this. All l can say is what an experience. Being on that aircraft carrier 86-89 introduced me to some good times and music.
I can feel this all the way down to my toes! I was in my 20's when this came out and we were having the times of our lives! I'd love to feel that again, but the rock bar is not a thing anymore! Never like the 80's! Miss these guys' energy!!!
@JonBonJovi Hello 👋, THANKYOU so Much for your BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MOST of your SONGS, as you can see!I HAVA BEEN A HUGE fan of yours , Back in the 80s ESPECIALLY, WHEN YOU REALLY ROCKED, I was just a young teenager back then ! And I STILL LOVE YOUR SONGS TODAY, And Always Will , Till the DAY I DIE !THANKYOU !🤘🎸🍷😍🐮🌹❤️😘😘🙏🙏🙏👋👋👋🤩💚
Was at the show, when they filmed at Portland Oregon, remember they played the song twice for the cameras. The cat walk was so cool Bon Jovi walked right over us ..Great times at concert... Oh..the good old days we partied hard that night. 😎🎸🎸🎶
My sister is a pastor and at the end of the service all members gather and Lay Their Hands on anyone who is needing a blessing. I am the 'black sheep' of my family, but I think this is beautiful.
If 2022 (this year) is the last time he ever tours, I'd be ok with it, since I finally got to see them live up in Indianapolis on April 19th. It irritates the hell out of me that people are complaining about his vocals going in and out, he's in his 60s and still willing to give us what we want, live performances, let's cut him some slack, shall we?
I remember when they opened their concert with this, this was the best feeling, it got you right though the inner core of your body. I saw this concert and it still gets me it takes me back to the 80’s.
Chills every time! I’m 19 this year and always got brought up with great music thanks to my family. Fucking amazing !!! Bon jovi is one of the most amazing men out there and always will be ❤️
Richie left on his own to make a name for himself, but wsn't that successful, he did eventually come back to Bon Jovi, but from what reports said, they were having issues with him and eventually was let go from the band. As with Alec, he was fired due to reports of him disclosing private info about the band for $$, or something to that effect.
That is one insane party. I bet nobody in that crowd will ever forget those 6 minutes. I think they entertained and electrified to the absolute maximum. You just watched a display of talent like never witnessed
This was a Awesome Concert. Seen them with Skid Row in Lakeland Florida when I live in Palm Harbor fl. Stayed at the same hotel they all did.. 1988 - 1989 ... Still have the shirt Sebastian Bach took off and threw in the crowd. I was on my husband's Shoulders, threw it right to me...Awesome night.... 2 of the Best bands I every seen in concert.
We saw the same tour in Baton Rouge, LA. One of the 1st shows on the tour. At the time I'd never heard of Skid Row so we didn't go in at the beginning of their set. We entered the arena as they were playing "Youth Gone Wild". I was blown away. Bad ass song. I always regretted not seeing their whole set. Of course Bon Jovi blew the place up. It was a good show.
Saw them on the New Jersey tour! They were Awesome! I remember my Dad asking me who the girl was on my shirt, lol! It was a picture of Jon from the shoulders up, looking cute as always!❤❤🔥🔥
Steven Stiles wow I paid £80 when I saw him a on his last tour before this one he’s on now, I’m only 28 would have loved to have been at this show or any back in the day.
20 bucks because back then bands made their fortune with the album sales and hit singles, unlike now, when the income comes from the overpriced 100 bucks tickets, hoping for a hit video on youtube and legal downloads.
80's and early 90's were the best concerts ever!! No phones to distract you and you actually SAW the band's every move. Slippery When Wet was my first tour and I saw him a lot more after that.
If you're ready, I'm willing and able Help me lay my cards out on the table You're mine and I'm yours for the taking Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking What you get ain't always what you see But satisfaction's guaranteed They say what you give is always what you need So if you want me to lay my hands on you Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, Lay your hands on me I'm a fighter, I'm a poet, I'm a preacher I've been to school and baby, I've been the teacher If you show me how to get up off the ground I can show you how to fly and never ever come back down Everything you want is what I need Satisfaction's guaranteed But the ride don't never ever come for free If you want me to lay my hands on you Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, Lay your hands on me [Solo] Don't you know I only aim to please If you want me to lay my hands on you Lay your hands on me
at this point Bon Jovi was everything a rock band should be, and its on full display in this video. I really wish I could have been alive during this time! killer track!
I was 13 at the time, and it was amazing. But not just with this video. MTV played music videos 24/7 with exception of MTV news, & a game show called Remote Control. At the mall, I once passed 7 people in 7 different Poison t shirts. Now all we have is youtube.
The 80s rock concerts will never be seen again girls big hair hands in air seeing both hands not a phone in hand going crazy everything was just organic fun happy times my mum used to say when i was young 60s were the best i thought ok mum now i know what she means how the 80s were to me at the time you live it dont appreciate it till now
THE most awe inspiring, heart racing, hysteria provoking, definitieve, and original entrance to a stage of adoring fans you will EVER witness - bar NONE ! This track is 27 years old (and growing) and I am yet to witness a greater adrenaline rush than the 2 min intude to this Bon Jovi legacy. Stop, listen and behold the exuberance of a once in a life time experience - enjoy !!
+Ben Sillitoe hit the nail on the head there! I remember first seeing this back when it came out and right there at that moment I knew I just HAD to learn to play the guitar!
Oh what I would give to have been a teen in the 80s and 90s! I’m a glam/pop metal girly & I am forever envious that my parents got to witness the rise of these bands! 😭
I was 18 when this came out. What I would do to go back to 1981-89.
I am selling a DeLorean if you are interested.
Truth
@@josephr9930 YES !!!!!!!!!
I was 16
I was 19.... 😅
That intro is so damn epic.
The base on the pyrotechnics is awesome. ☠️💪😎
@ absolutely! Especially during Richie’s solo omg. I cream every time
@@tristantristan4733 Absolutely! Especially at the beginning of Richie’s solo omg. I cream every time
Lucky people we were. The 70s and 80s was a good time. Especially the mid to late 80s and 1990. Good music was everywhere.
It still is, you just have to stop listening to oldies stations and popular stations
Damn sure was
You just can’t top a better opening to a bad ass song
The chemistry between Richie and Jon was amazing.
Pices/Cancer chemistry ❤
Yes they where the best duo
God when they sang together it was pure poetry, JBJ had a great voice but when paired with Sambora it went stratospheric
Like ticking time bomb the exploded in 2013. lol but I know what you mean they were great together Richie’s playing and back up vocals were awesome
PHIL X...PEOPLE n Jon NOW
RIP ALEC! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🎶🎤
Man i wish i was born in 80s-90s it sounds like the best!!
you mean early 70s?
@@gonza_neuquen thinking about it now yes
It was ex specially the late 80’s the music rocked
Growing up in the 80s was THE BEST! Born in 67 & the 80s was my time!
It was!

Absolutely...Golden years...I was a teenager in the 80's
Saw them on the New Jersey tour. They put on a great show!!

You are so so lucky!

This song as huge in the late 80's, and nowadays it only has 20 million views
only 20 Million fucking views!
Damn we sure did have a BLAST
Today’s crowd wouldn’t know what to do with all this energy
While they are Still amazing! Man Nothing compares to there live act in the 80s. storywriting was better in 90s but live act was TOP notch in 80s.
One of Richie's best guitar work. So underrated.
Says who?😊
And Hungry would love some shrimp lobsters and spinach and champagne and flowers please 🥺🥺🥺😊😊😁👍
@@kathconserv WHO e this
And what a guitar it is. Wow!
@sandrasillery4493 that's a double neck guitar but he has played with a triple neck guitar it was awesome
Back when they actually MADE music videos.
now they are all lyric videos.
Jon, Richie, Alec, Tico, David, what a team!!!! ...
This song is not talked about enough. It's definitely a great track from Bon Jovi.
This song is legendary
it's definitely talked about by those of us who went through the era
however Kids today don't know the song
@@martinkuliza I didn't grow up in the 80s. My mom has me and my twin brother listening to these amazing bands. And we are only 15yrs old
@@emilyallison7253
I can see that you're being raised correctly then
Growing up learning the lessons that Bon Jovi taught us
Blood on Blood
Livin on a Prayer
which taught is to stick together
and then
Born to be my baby
which taught is to love with Passion
and then.........
ummmmm we had
BAD MEDICINE
and
TOKYO ROAD
LOL
Ummmmm
What to say
:P
Let's just skip to
KING OF THE MOUNTAIN
which taught us to never give up
and SILENT NIGHT
to Love with Passion
yeah.. that'll do
swrong with BAD MEDICINE@@martinkuliza
One of their last great singles imo. All their post 80s was too fluffy and lightweight pop.
Now THIS is music! And Jon’s voice! I’m still fan-girling over JBJ all these years later.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

AGREE!!!
Totalmente!!
Saw them in concert a few years ago. No opening act, just three hours of INCREDIBLE music. 100/10 would go again.
Not to mention the look! I mean there was no other frontman that was naturally prettier than him. Though Axl Rose and Seb Bach rivaled him.
@@cajo7870 - Bret Michaels: Hold my Aquanet!!! 🤣

I seen Bon Jovi in concert in 1988. Jon wore the long jacket from this video. Skid Row opened for them. Best concert EVER!
I went to the same concert well in the same tour anyway maybe different venue
Kim I saw the same concert In Little Rock Arkansas . Was one of the best concerts . This man sure can sing his ass off .
Might be in 1989 because Skid Row supported them on the US Tour
I went to the same concert that year, it was awesome. And he wore the same jacket
me too a sang with him for ten seconds awesome! Tacoma dome wash.St live video MTV cut me out
Jon is one of the BEST front men of all time!!! Awesome live!!!
Lol best frontman

俺もそう思う！
I liked it better than Slippery When Wet
This is absolutely the magic lineup! Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan, Alec John, and Tico Toress. Perfect!
God sometimes I cry coz I miss Richie that bad, he was hysterical
Yes! This gives me chills!
Alec John Such died two years ago. He is missed by fans of the best band to come out of the 80's
I got to see these guys back in the 80’s when they opened up for RATT! The entire Bon Jovi band was at a Hastings records signing autographs and taking pics. I was in line for about an hour then got to meet the guys and take their photos. IT WAS SO AMAZING! I still have those photos today, 2024! 🤘😝🤘
The energy of the band is contagious to me! And what a solo by Richie, my people! 😍

That's pure intensity dude. I fucking love it 40 years later.

Now THAT is the proper use for a time machine! Take note Dr. Brown!
Ask Bulma and Trunks
I have experienced 5. best live band of all time
You would need all the power of the sun and to be able to contain it safely...when it's built let me know....I wanna go lol
I'm so old I saw them open for Ratt!!
A favorite. Always loved this song. Bring back the 80s. Saw them in Toronto on Friday June 2nd 1989. Boy they rocked. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@rhodestudios9442 Idk he night be right,this has a lot of TH-cam Views. Either way it's not really a mainstream genre anymore and probably won't be again.

WOW I DIDN’T KNOW HE DIED! How did I not know this.
Pre-game ceremony music for New Jersey Devils games in the early 90's
One thing that can always be said about Bon Jovi concerts is the energy is always through the roof. There’s nothing like it in the world. I can’t wait for them to tour again. I need that energy in my life!! ❤️❣️
I'm afraid you've missed the real show, they may never your again anyway.
@@work8046 they’re back on tour now. And I’ve seen them in concert 9 times. I’ll see them again, I’m sure of it.
@@michellekuznecow4053 I saw them just over 20 times but they're not a patch on what they were, Jon's voice is pretty shot and without Sambora, phewww no chance
@@work8046 well thankfully you’re option doesn’t mean much for their bank accounts. Be blessed
@@michellekuznecow4053 I've no idea what you're point is, if it's "he's only about the money now" you're correct.
One of the best rocksongs ever.
My NEW favorite Bon Jovi song!!🤣🤣 People can STILL see the 80's!! These videos are all we had too! ROCK ON!!
Nothing like the 80s Bon Jovi concert, I will never forget it” excitement, thrilling, memories #LakelandFlorida1989 #ForeverMemories #Legendary, fan forever!! 83-24 🫠❤️🗡️
I've always been so jealous of the people who grew up and experienced this in the 80s.When my parents tell me about how things were back then I just want to dissappear.My friends always I'm crazy because I'm a 13 old girl obsessed with anything 80s.I don't think any 13 year old in 2021 understands how I feel about 80s music.It puts in a different world and I'm so glad my parents educated me with the right music.Thank you for the absolute amazing music Bon Jovi ❤
It was AWESOME only thing is we were young & just thought life would always be the same, we'd all be the "cool" teenagers forever & this was just life !!!! 😝, 30 years later , STILL TOO COOL 😎 😝, just "older" & more experienced 😝✌️
Theres nothing wrong with you..you are just very atune to good music and good energy the 80s was the first time people like Bon Jovi stood up n said im doing it my way and actully knew what they were doing...it was a time when things were so real ....i think youre a smart person and realize this...and good to know someone of your age see this....dont ever change youre the real deal
It’s was the best !! I’m 52 graduated in 1987 and this era was amazing !! I watch these videos and just like you said, I disappear into my memories and just smile!
Cuz today's music is garbage
In 1987 i was 3 seen my first bon jovi video and have been hooked ever since 🤘🏻
Jon at his vocal peak and New Jersey was the groups peak album studio sound in my opinion also thanks to Desmond Child’s compositions on this album
I remember when I was 15 years old when this first came out and saw this... I thought it was the coolest video of BonJovi. I miss the 80's so much.
im here at 2019 and im now 14 and i also wana go to the 80's
I was 14 when I saw it First in 1992.its a Monsta Video and a Killer Song
I was 15 years old, when i saw it. Now I'm 16, but I want to be 50 yaers old now, 'cause I want to visit all BJ concerts 👌🏼😂
Me too!!!!!
Me too ❣❣❣
i love BON JOVI for eeeeveeerrrr...............the best.
Best band in the world. No questions. No apologies.
Why doesn't this have more views? it's gotta be their best video
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame- Congratulations to Bon Jovi ❤
Jon is one of the BEST front men of all time!!! Awesome live!!!
Coolest band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make a concert again bon jovi!!!
As far as I know, Jon can no longer sing the way he used to be singing in the past. And this is sad... 🤔
Bon Jovi FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
God I love the 80’s
You and both Edward!!
Its 2023 and Bon Jovi is still the best band and this song is just absolutely amazing 💯 🔥
Yup, still a great band.
Bon Jovi & Bee Gees
@magzi234, iYHO, that is.
A friend of mine had two extra tickets and invited me and my wife to go with him. Atlanta the Omni March 1989. I didn’t know much about them other than the hits like Livin on a Prayer and Wanted Dead or Alive.
They came on to this song with the drum and guitar build up and everyone went nuts. Then pyrotechnics and Jon appeared on stage out of nowhere and this song kicked in. I was in a state of euphoria and I thought I’d never heard a better opening song in all my life. And the good feel energy that Jon has was electrifying.
I was 29 years old when this came out l was on the USS Nimitz and with so many different age groups someone told me about this. All l can say is what an experience. Being on that aircraft carrier 86-89 introduced me to some good times and music.
Some songs are like good wines, they get better and better with age.
Or about Kevin spacey

I can feel this all the way down to my toes! I was in my 20's when this came out and we were having the times of our lives! I'd love to feel that again, but the rock bar is not a thing anymore! Never like the 80's! Miss these guys' energy!!!
I don't know which is worse, the ones that PRETEND to be the rockstar or famous person or the one's that believe it (if ANY one does)!!!
@@tinahill3423 HHHMMM? You obviously had to be there! Graduating high school and coming into adulthood in the 80's was the absolute best!
Sadly, you will never see crowds like this again, ever.
does not even matter. we do not live our lives looking backwards. he is worth over 410 MILLION dollars
😅😅
Why!?
THAT Was MELBOURNE, I Swear I was in that CROWD, Somewhere up the back, It was AWESOME back then!🎸🤘🤩😘❤️🌹😘🎸

I was there at memorial Colosseum
I was there at the memorial Colosseum 👍🏻
My sister is a pastor and at the end of the service all members gather and Lay Their Hands on anyone who is needing a blessing. I am the 'black sheep' of my family, but I think this is beautiful.
That’s creepy as f
If 2022 (this year) is the last time he ever tours, I'd be ok with it, since I finally got to see them live up in Indianapolis on April 19th.
It irritates the hell out of me that people are complaining about his vocals going in and out, he's in his 60s and still willing to give us what we want, live performances, let's cut him some slack, shall we?
Saw this in concert. I was 13 years old. He popped up from under the stage it was on. Blew my mind and my ear drums.
This video is still watchable in my early 60's
I remember when they opened their concert with this, this was the best feeling, it got you right though the inner core of your body. I saw this concert and it still gets me it takes me back to the 80’s.
Golden years
I saw this concert 3x… 1x @ Irvine Meadows and 2x @ The Forum [I’m in this video]. #bonjovi
Chills every time! I’m 19 this year and always got brought up with great music thanks to my family. Fucking amazing !!! Bon jovi is one of the most amazing men out there and always will be ❤️
Jon is a great entertainer and a great humanitarian! I get the feeling, if he ever retires,he will run for office.
Richie and Alec John Such :The good old times! We miss you!
Eduardo bsn - Absolutely!!
You ment Richie sam boerna
Richie left on his own to make a name for himself, but wsn't that successful, he did eventually come back to Bon Jovi, but from what reports said, they were having issues with him and eventually was let go from the band. As with Alec, he was fired due to reports of him disclosing private info about the band for $$, or something to that effect.
I remember seeing Bon Jovi on this tour. We went to two shows. I miss the 80s
Good old 80s day ❤❤❤❤
That is one insane party. I bet nobody in that crowd will ever forget those 6 minutes. I think they entertained and electrified to the absolute maximum. You just watched a display of talent like never witnessed
This was a Awesome Concert. Seen them with Skid Row in Lakeland Florida when I live in Palm Harbor fl. Stayed at the same hotel they all did.. 1988 - 1989 ... Still have the shirt Sebastian Bach took off and threw in the crowd. I was on my husband's Shoulders, threw it right to me...Awesome night.... 2 of the Best bands I every seen in concert.
We saw the same tour in Baton Rouge, LA. One of the 1st shows on the tour. At the time I'd never heard of Skid Row so we didn't go in at the beginning of their set. We entered the arena as they were playing "Youth Gone Wild". I was blown away. Bad ass song. I always regretted not seeing their whole set. Of course Bon Jovi blew the place up. It was a good show.
Aaa
Saw them on the New Jersey tour! They were Awesome! I remember my Dad asking me who the girl was on my shirt, lol! It was a picture of Jon from the shoulders up, looking cute as always!❤❤🔥🔥
When was this Becki? 88? 89? 90?
Too bad these awesome young people of today had to miss these unparalleled shows. Tickets? 20 bucks. That was when bands cared about their fans.
Steven Stiles wow I paid £80 when I saw him a on his last tour before this one he’s on now, I’m only 28 would have loved to have been at this show or any back in the day.
@@sammyjotaylor690 When you saw them not him, Bon Jovi are a band-Jon Bon Jovi is when he is solo obviously lol
You should go to the Vegas show June 20,2020!!!They rock man!!!!
20 bucks because back then bands made their fortune with the album sales and hit singles, unlike now, when the income comes from the overpriced 100 bucks tickets, hoping for a hit video on youtube and legal downloads.
@@jjrj8568 Sad but true. Concerts then were sooo unpretentious and were more like some giant party.
This concert was absolutely amazing. What a show and what a decade
80's and early 90's were the best concerts ever!! No phones to distract you and you actually SAW the band's every move. Slippery When Wet was my first tour and I saw him a lot more after that.
The hair and the rockin' outfits of all the guys ..... slammin'!!!(M)
We WANT the 80's back!! :)
Char Bandraoi me tooooooooo😣😣😣
Same here
Look im 12 and i love music from the 80s
80's = BEST.
TheCaptjamestkirk yaaaaaaaaa
Didn't get to meet him, but I saw him at an ND football game when his son went there. I wanted to meet him, though.
If you're ready, I'm willing and able
Help me lay my cards out on the table
You're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking
What you get ain't always what you see
But satisfaction's guaranteed
They say what you give is always what you need
So if you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me
I'm a fighter, I'm a poet, I'm a preacher
I've been to school and baby, I've been the teacher
If you show me how to get up off the ground
I can show you how to fly and never ever come back down
Everything you want is what I need
Satisfaction's guaranteed
But the ride don't never ever come for free
If you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me
[Solo]
Don't you know I only aim to please
If you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me
+chan ivy thanks your lyrics 😊
Thank you!!

Love🎶❤🎶🤘
at this point Bon Jovi was everything a rock band should be, and its on full display in this video. I really wish I could have been alive during this time! killer track!
Great band
I was!!!!! Great times
I was !!!!great times
I'm happy you weren't!!
I was 13 at the time, and it was amazing. But not just with this video. MTV played music videos 24/7 with exception of MTV news, & a game show called Remote Control. At the mall, I once passed 7 people in 7 different Poison t shirts. Now all we have is youtube.
New Jersey, a goldmine for rock and roll, Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen, can't beat that.
Dusty Doll .......& that’s why I visit the Garden State every year & had the opportunity to go visit the “Stone Pony” as well !!!
there's something called L.A. tho
The 80s rock concerts will never be seen again girls big hair hands in air seeing both hands not a phone in hand going crazy everything was just organic fun happy times my mum used to say when i was young 60s were the best i thought ok mum now i know what she means how the 80s were to me at the time you live it dont appreciate it till now
THE most awe inspiring, heart racing, hysteria provoking, definitieve, and original entrance to a stage of adoring fans you will EVER witness - bar NONE ! This track is 27 years old (and growing) and I am yet to witness a greater adrenaline rush than the 2 min intude to this Bon Jovi legacy. Stop, listen and behold the exuberance of a once in a life time experience - enjoy !!
+Ben Sillitoe hit the nail on the head there! I remember first seeing this back when it came out and right there at that moment I knew I just HAD to learn to play the guitar!
Yes!
This is my ATF entrance EVER!!!!
Ben Sillitoe god dam well said!!!!
Theres a guy in this thread that's disgusted with it...wants the song to just start. smh.
I grew up in the 80's myself. I forgot how freaking badass Bon Jovi was back then. They're still great, but nothing like it was.
Jovi always has those great energy concerts..miss them lots 🎸🎼
Bon Jovi had it together back in the 80s and early 90s. Best of childhood memories.
Often, i consider myself a very lucky man just to be alive at the same time as Bon Jovi. So glad to witness such Awesomeness!!!!!!
This song had so much energy. God its good!!!
Good song . Bon jovi !!!!
Yes Sir, Plez…. Lay Ur Hands On Me!! LoL!! Jus love this Man, JBJ + BON JOVI & this Song too!!!! Damn, tha 80’s were too freakin amazing!!!❤️🌹❤️🖤❤️🌹❤️
Oh what I would give to have been a teen in the 80s and 90s! I’m a glam/pop metal girly & I am forever envious that my parents got to witness the rise of these bands! 😭
