Bon Jovi brings the rock and country to Jobing.com[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], Tribune
It’s not easy to admit – especially for this Bon Jovi super fan – but Jovi and company lost the magic years ago.
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]Some will say the downward spiral began with 2000's “Crush.” I disagree. I don’t think they truly spiraled until 2005's “Have a Nice Day.”
While the disc included a country crossover hit – “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” with Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles – the fireworks were gone. And 1994's “Cross Road,” which spawned several of the band’s hooky riffs and rock anthems, is merely a memory.
Thankfully Bon Jovi brought that dusty memory to life Friday at Glendale’s Jobing.com Arena. In addition to covering the good ol’ hair metal they became famous for, they covered their country bases as well. And the crowd seemed to eat up all 24 songs spanning from the New Jersey band’s 20-plus year career.
Diehard Jovi fans in their 20s to 50s – many were women who looked as if they stepped off the set of VH1's “Rock of Love” – packed the arena for the band’s two-hour performance.
The six-man band, clad in black and augmented by a violinist, kicked off the night with “Lost Highway,” the title track off their latest country-tinged disc, behind four screens and a large flat screen above the stage that showed their images.
“It’s a hot Friday night in Glendale, Arizona,” charismatic frontman Jon Bon Jovi , who was sporting shorter locks, said as the ladies hollered.
The group moved through a polished set filled with rock favorites such as “Bad Medicine,” “It’s My Life,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Raise Your Hands” and “Livin’ on a Prayer.”
The band also managed to fit in a couple of covers. They sandwiched Martha And The Vandellas’ “Dancing in the Streets” between “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” and The Isley Brothers’ “Shout” in the middle of “Bad Medicine.”
Although guitarist Richie Sambora isn’t holding it together in the looks department as well as Jon (perhaps this has to do with his recent DUI woes), he had the ladies swooning when he sang the ballad “I’ll Be There For You.”
The ballads didn’t end there. Jon, who changed into a red button down shirt, during the second of three costume changes, treated the crowd to the haunting “(You Want to) Make a Memory,”the first single off the band’s new album and also sang “Bed of Roses.”
Jon was rocking an AZ Rattlers jersey, which looked similar to the one he donned at his Valley concert two years ago, by the end of the set.
“I want to say hello to my friends in the Arizona Rattlers that are here tonight,” Jon, who is part owner of the Philadelphia Soul arena football team, said.
The band closed their set with a three-song encore, which ended on a high note with the spirited “Dead or Alive.”
Supporting act Daughtry (aka that dude from “American Idol” – who placed fourth on the fifth season of the reality singing competition – and his band) opened with nearly an hour performance. The set featured the radio singles “It’s Not Over” and “Over You” along with “Home” and “Breakdown” from his 2006 self-titled debut. Lead singer Chris Daughtry also took the stage with Bon Jovi to sing “Blaze of Glory.”
