Bon Jovi at the Ricoh 22/6

[MHS]

Glasgow tomorrow! Can't f'king wait! :icon_bigg

 

[beaumontfox]

Nuts!

We somehow have seated tickets when we ordered standing.

Stupid ticketmaster.


Similar thing happened with our Foo Fighters tickets from seetickets the other week, we got standing tickets when we ordered seats(well, that's all she could get when she finally got through).


Stupid seetickets.:icon_roll


Still Is'pose that means I can not worry about anything I might buy getting stood on.

 

[MHS]

WOW!!!

I'll post set-lists up as soon as I can find them.

Can't wait for tomorrow. :icon_bigg

Yesterday morning, we knew the Glasgow gig was going to be hard to beat, but they did beat it with this. Great to see some rarer songs played - Last Cigarette and Diamond Ring were nice surprises. The 2 encores were both brilliant, IMO the best three songs on the current album followed by two of their best songs was brilliant. To start with Prayer and Bad Name meant the crowd were well into it from the start. We had Golden Circle tickets for this too, were only a few rows back, absolutely brilliant. We have golden circle tickets for tomorrow too, really cannot wait for tomorrow night!!

you must have been pretty near me, I was wearing gold sunglasses for most of the show.

I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get Wild Is The Wind or something like that but we got a nice varied setlist and a bigger than usual encore as well...!

I have a fitting description that I use for people who wear shades at gigs.

Unfortunately we're not in General Chat.

I wasn't the only one, also Sambora was during the first few songs... I'll be wearing them again on Tuesday, and I might also take my cowboy hat next time!

Good for you Shaun.........

 

[beaumontfox]

I really hope they do Someday I'll be Saturday Night tomorrow! It's one of my faves.


Gonig by that there's no point in trying to guess what they'll be doing then haha!

Methinks I now need to listen to the new album three or four times in a row......just to refresh my mind on the new stuff!

Listen to Lost Highway, Whole Lot Of Leavin, Any Other Day, We Got It Goin On & I Love This Town - they are the only 5 that are being regularly played this tour. :icon_wink

 

[beaumontfox]

what time did the support act come on stage, what time did bon jovi come on stage and what time did it finish?

 

[MHS]

what time did the support act come on stage, what time did bon jovi come on stage and what time did it finish?

The support act (The f**king Feeling) have been on stage at 6:30ish the last couple of night, with Bon Jovi getting on stage at about 8.

 

[beaumontfox]

My friend's daughter looooooooves The Feeling:icon_roll

I've just been on the phone to her mum and said what time they came on stage, we weren't gonna leave here til gone 6pm, we've now had our orders to be ready asap from when we get home from work.:icon_eek:

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Awesome awesome day out Even better than Manchester IMO, although I felt the show was a little short. Got two videos on my camera, Richie Sambora doing his usual bluesy rendition of I'll Be There For You and These Days towards the end of the show. Had some quite heavy rain for WDoA at the very end of the show but otherwise the weather was pretty nice all day, we must have been about 5 or 6 rows back from the stage so even closer than last time. Can't wait for the next tour, considering trying to get tickets for the Twickenham dates at the weekend as well now..

The gig was just as good as Manchester, however I thought the atmosphere was nowhere near as good - being stuck in that shithole for hours will obviously dampen your spirits.

I was about 9 rows from the front.

If I had the money I would definitely try and get tickets for Twickenham!

I'll post up full set-list in a few minutes.... did you enjoy the show Beaumont?

I thought the atmosphere was better! What is your actual name by the way? We had two blokes from Leicester behind us yesterday - Mike and Stu I think their names were..

Very much so! Especially as I never went to the last tour:icon_sad: so it's been 5 years since I saw them at Wolves ground.

Considering we were supposed to be sat right at the very back of the Telegraph Stand(opposite end of the stage) we ended up standing about 10 rows from the front of the minion standing area- which of course was FAR better!
Couldn't believe how the stewards weren't stoppnig people leaving the seated area to go pitchlevel. At Wembly for the foos the other week they had two stewards at each gangway and no one was allowed to do that.

Have got some photos, but obviously not as good as if I had been further forward(so if either of you two have any photos which you would be willing to email me I'd muchly appreciate it!! It's for my scrapbook)

Loved Richie Sambora doing his solo spot. Think my fave was These Days and Older. Was a tad gutted they never did Someday I'll be Saturday Night though!

Was uberskint but my friend lent me the cash for a programme, I'm going to go on the website later this week and see what t-shirts etc they have on there, plus I want that green bag!

I REALLY want to go Friday night now, but Ben would do his nut haha!

Next time though I'm going Gold Circle, stuff the cost!



Ps: Ta for the set list(I'd never have remember what order!) I can use that for my Scrapbooknig as well!
