Bon Jovi brings back the '80s at Hersheypark Stadium By KIRA SCHLECHTER, The Patriot-News May 19, 2010, 11:47PM The Patriot-News Jon Bon Jovi, performs during the Bon Jovi concert at Hershseypark Stadium in Derry Township on Wednesday Why has Bon Jovi persevered when other bands of the ’80s have faded away? “They respect their fans, and they respect their music,” said Victoria Siegrist, 53, of Lebanon, a longtime fan at her third show who brought daughter Morgan, 22, to her first as a graduation present. “They’re real; they don’t try to be more than they are.” “Their music seems to speak to normal people, and they haven’t changed their sound,” said Jennifer Rovan, 33, of Johnstown, a fan since the fifth grade and attending her 13th show. Her husband, Moe, 40, said, “His songs are an inspiration to all of humanity.” “They keep writing good music [but] they always do something a little different to keep the imagination [going],” said Kurt Scherlinsky, 49, of Carlisle, a fan since the beginning but who was at his first show. “Their music is not cheap, it’s not sleazy — it has emotion, and it makes me feel good when I listen to it,” he said. “You can’t help but move to his music — it exudes sexiness,” said Maria Noss, 31, of New Cumberland, attending her second show while pregnant with daughter Avery, due in August. “[And Jon Bon Jovi] does a lot of charity work — he’s not out there in Us Weekly doing stupid things. He’s a family man and he seems to stick to that.” But the performance Wednesday night that kicked off the Hersheypark Stadium summer concert series made the real answer obvious: because they still do what they do, relatively unchanged, and they do it really well. They are still the purveyors of good-time, vaguely Americana rock ’n’ roll, full of hope, defiance and love conquering all. And they continued to do so on the first date of the outdoor leg of the tour in support of their 11th album, the solid “The Circle.” Frontman Jon Bon Jovi, still looking trim and flashing his megawatt grin, started things off with “Blood on Blood,” backed by equally fit guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan and drummer Tico Torres. The new track “We Weren’t Born to Follow,” much in the sonic mold of many Bon Jovi hits, followed with its rousing, uplifting message. But they still know how to have the fun they had in the 1980s, blasting through “You Give Love a Bad Name” with enough energy to take away any concern of being dated. Jon Bon Jovi was in strong voice throughout — he might be singing better now than he did then. The wonderful groove of “Whole Lot of Leavin’ ” led into a punchy “Born to Be My Baby” and a lush “Lost Highway.” A midset highlight was the new track “When We Were Beautiful,” a wry, regretful tale of lost youth, but one still full of hope. For Bon Jovi, the glass is always half full. Another well-received new track was “Superman Tonight,” and the thundering, sexy groove of “We Got It Goin’ On” broke the thoughtful mood nicely. A raucous “Bad Medicine” and a powerful “It’s My Life” came next in rapid succession. “Love’s the Only Rule” was a nice moment, Bon Jovi finally venturing out onto the giant catwalk that projected into the crowd and urging the crowd, in a whisper, to sing. Sambora lent his gritty, bluesy voice to “Lay Your Hands On Me,” and Jon Bon Jovi did a lovely turn on the romantic and sweet “Make a Memory.” The two joined forces on the catwalk for “I’ll Be There For You,” belting out some great harmonies — Bon Jovi potent on the melody, Sambora soaring above. While Bon Jovi might have spoken of being rusty, he was being modest — the band’s performance quality is still there in spades, even after a long layoff. A smoking little set by Baltimore’s Charm City Devils and a longer one by Harrisburg’s own Fuel kicked things off. But the headliners would not be upstaged — age and life experience and a wider range of songwriting interests have made Bon Jovi a better band than they were in their heyday.

Une review dithyrambique, ce qui n'est pas nouveau avec ce journal

Un article sur les pass vip très intéressant avec le concert à Hershey en filigrane
Ils sont devenus presque l'enjeu d'une tournée, des négociations d'avant tour etc ... On peut réaliser 90% des bénéfices d'une soirée avec la minorité de ces places
On voit le sacrifice complet de certaines esthètes de BJ dont une fan qui a dépensé 8500$ de pass vip (6 concerts) sur cette tournée. Son argument est qu'un billet au noir bien placé revient presque aussi cher qu'un pass vip ...
Qu'elle préfère donner son argent à bj ou Ticketmaster ...
A vous de juger

On voit aussi la hauteur de la scène sur les photos

La première photo me fait penser au dessin animé le Roi Lion........Jon en roi de la jungle sur son rocher surplombant ses sujets C'est clair qu'elle est haute cette scène, je comprends pourquoi il y en a qui se sont plaints de ne pas bien voir.........gare aux cervicales,vaudra peut-être mieux être au fond du cercle.........ces chaises dans la fosse je m'y fais pas

Une autre review
Le mix des guitares, c'était pas tp ça notamment sur Keep The Faith. Alors, le gars et sa soeur sont partis avant le rappel pour ne pas se taper le trafic !
Dommage pr eux, ils ont loupé Wanted & Prayer, leurs chansons préférées

Revolution Magazine freelance writer Gregg Xenakes recently attended the Bon Jovi show at Hershey Park Stadium. This is what he had to say: Bon Jovi The Circle Tour Hershey Park Stadium Wednesday, May 19, 2010 Support: Fuel and Charm City Devils Gregg Xenakes The band that keeps coming back for more, Bon Jovi, made Hershey, Pa that much sweeter when the group kicked off the summer concert season at Hershey Park Stadium on May 19. The gig was the first on the newest leg of The Circle Tour, a stretch that has the band dropping in for four shows at the new Giants Stadium in its native New Jersey and also has a residency of 12 performances slated for O2 Arena in London, England on the horizon. With ominous clouds overhead, Jon and his professional brotherhood hit the ground running with “Blood on Blood” and never looked back. Framed by a massive bank of video screens behind the stage and a pair on each side of the set, sitting in the second-to-last section of the aging venue forced me to focus more on the production and less on the tiny actors who flittered underneath a rain cover in case the heavens chose to open unexpectedly. The group stayed true to previous setlists stemming from the most recent arena run a couple months back, rattling off as many as five ‘new’ songs from The Circle, although bringing along both Charm City Devils and Fuel forced Bon Jovi to trim its performance by a handful of tunes in order to finish before 11pm. Adding the ‘Devils as a contest winner was gracious, as was allowing Fuel to play in front of a familiar ‘hometown’ crowd, but clearly those guys were just along for the ride. Guitarist Richie Sambora, who in my opinion has as strong a voice as JBJ himself, settled in as the sidekick, chomping on gum even as he sang backup on “We Weren’t Born to Follow” and “Born to Be My Baby”. Occasionally Sambora was splashed up on the big screen, working his way down the fret board, but the spotlight rarely shied away from Mr. Bon Jovi for too long. During “Lost Highway,” one of several songs that have taken the former hair band perilously close to country twanging bumpkins, Jon’s mug is posted five times over behind the stage, each profile seemingly three stories tall and showing off his perfect white teeth with the size of a modest Japanese import. Sambora gets his chance to cut loose on “Bad Medicine,” showing off the guitar prowess that has made him a solid picker even at the age of 50. Even more impressive is when he takes center stage by himself and handles the lead vocals on “Lay Your Hands on Me,” which makes me wonder all the more why his solo projects have never made much noise. Under the guise of darkness, Jon is escorted to the furthest point on the ring that reaches out into the crowd, popping up with an acoustic in hand to tackle “Make a Memory.” Jon then calls on his partner in crime to join him and Sambora makes his way down the ramp as his tech feverishly connects his wireless link. The pair shine under the spotlights, facing each other as they huddle around a mic to sing “I’ll Be There for You.” Finally, its time to get up-close and friendly with the other longstanding members of the band as keyboardist David Bryan brings along an accordion and drummer Tico Torres keeps a beat by slapping the side of what looks like little more than a wooden birdhouse during a fantastic acoustic version of “Something for the Pain.” “Uh oh,” Jon cries out, “it’s 1984 again!” and with that Bryan pounds out the familiar sequence that is “Runaway.” The song gives Jon the opportunity to play guitar hero for the briefest of moments, although we all know that Sambora is the one who rules the roost in that department. We all get a lesson in linguistics during the drawn-out ending to “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” as the words ‘it’s alright’ morph into a mish-mash that sounds an awful lot like ‘sar-ight,’ volleyed back and forth from the little man on the massive stage to the throng in the cement stands who can feel the end drawing near. With maracas in hand JBJ shakes things up with the set’s finale a rousing take on “Keep the Faith,” but for some reason the guitar seems to be dialing back in the mix and looses some of its punch, which is a bit of a letdown since we left the building immediately after in order to get a jump on the traffic leading out of town. Was I disappointed that we, my 10-year old daughter and I, missed out on “Wanted Dead or Alive” and “Livin’ on a Prayer” during the encore? Not really because we still caught a sweet show in the sweetest place on earth.
