BON JOVI Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Manchester 24 June 2011
It might
have been a cold damp night in Manchester but to Jon Bon Jovi it was
'like taking a shower with 45,000 of his closest friends'.
"Let's turn up the fire baby," he told the crowd at Lancashire County
Cricket Club as the US rock icons kicked off last night's show against a
grey sky.
The group, formed nearly three decades ago, thrilled their sea of fans
as they stormed through a set featuring hits from their back catalogue.
Frontman Bon
Jovi, who has notched up a string of sexiest male accolades in his time,
thrilled the women in the crowd even more when he said: "I like to hear
the girls scream."
A leg brace to support an on-stage knee injury didn't stop the
49-year-old singer from getting the crowd going with 'You Give Love a
Bad Name' and 'In These Arms'.
It was great
to see Richie on stage after it was thought he would not be joining the
tour after his rehab stay, his guitar playing was spot on, and Jon Bon
Jovi's voice was top notch too.
They played well and they rocked hard, the crowd had come to see perhaps
one of the most underrated bands around, and what a show they got...
