I arrived at the Olympia Stadion in Munich around 7:30 pm and waited for the support band to finish in order to finally enjoy Bon Jovi playing live. (Unfortunately, they ' ve never played live in my country Greece). Meanwhile, I enjoyed the famous German wurst and lots of beer!! Finally, the support band finished and around 8:30 pm in a packed Stadium (75.000-80.000 people!) Bon Jovi appeared on stage, starting the show with the title track of their latest album Lost Highway! At first the sound was not so good , but as the band continued everything was fixed! John was in a very nice mood and he gave his best, constantly mentioning that Munich is the place to be for Jovi in Europe. The highlight of the show was Living On A Prayer, when John sang a capella the first verse and the crowd continued! And then of course the normal electric version of the song blew us away!! Richie again sang I'll Be There For You and David even sang the first verse of In These Arms!!Tico was lively as usual and Hugh was playing, while keeping a low profile. The crowd was awesome, constantly singing and dancing, especially when the hits of the band were played! Indeed, it was a night to remember with the band finishing the show after 2:40 hours around 11:10 pm, and I started walking towards the Ubahn with a big smile on my face!
P.s. They also played their best song: Runaway, which is a killer when played live!!!
The setlist was the following:
LOST HIGHWAY BORN TO BE MY BABY YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME RAISE YOUR HANDS JUST OLDER CAPTAIN CRASH I 'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD w/ Mercy & Start Me up ALWAYS WHOLE LOT OF LEAVIN' IN THESE ARMS RUNAWAY WE GOT IT GOIN' ON HEY GOD IT'S MY LIFE KEEP THE FAITH I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU - RICHIE VOX BLAZE OF GLORY SOMEDAY I'LL BE SATURDAY NIGHT WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T GO HOME HAVE A NICE DAY BAD MEDICINE LIVING ON A PRAYER
