July 25, 2013- Met Life Stadium- Meadowlands, NJ
My brother and I got seat upgrades because the section that
we were in had an obstructed view due to the hanging speakers. It is not as if
they moved us way down close; we were just in the section below this, in the
first row.
A bit of the
speakers did still block the view of the new guitar guy a bit. It seemed
strange that Richie is no longer a part of the band.
I can’t remember
which song that Jon had told everyone to hold up their cell phones during;
obviously one of their power ballads. I had joked around with my brother during
“Keep the Faith” that we are in the Church of Bon Jovi now. They didn’t do “Lay
Your Hands on Me” which was disappointing.
A light rain
started during “Bed of Roses”. It lasted for two songs then and later during
the encore. I don’t remember at which point though. We got a lot of songs for
that – 5 for the first one and 2 for the second. Jon had told the crowd that
they didn’t feel like leaving.
The opening act,
The J. Geils Band, was pretty lame. Before the show, my brother had been
talking a lot which was giving me a little headache. We hadn’t really felt like
standing up much and luckily didn’t have to because of being up in front. I did
make sure I did so for ‘”It’s My Life” and some other songs though.
