What are your past 15 year highlights?
 

So the first 15 years are factually better than the second half but was it all that bad?

Curious to know what people thought were some great points. Could be anything. Songs, concerts, albums, Jon's hair etc.

Here are my top moments.

1. It's My Life - great comeback song
2. Hallelujah - the last cover Jon owned prior to that was Levon and Jon did it justice.
3. Bon Jovi doing stadium tours to promote each album in the US. Regardless of the performances/shows themselves, getting 50 thousand plus fans for an outdoor summer party is always a blast.
4. Make A Memory - Killer Song
5. Love's The Only Rule - Killer Song
6 Because We Can - Sorry, I like the song
7. It's Only Make Believe - Great live cover with passion
8. The Box Set - Some real gems in there. Enough to make a solid album
9. Jon hosting SNL
10. KOS - Yes, that's right... After each tour being a disappointing carbon copy of the last one, this was a nice switch. The Red Bank show was great last year and so was American Pie. I don't mind Jon doing these shows as side projects as long as it doesn't become the next "Bon Jovi".
11. This Left Feels Right - Just Kidding....

1. Have A Nice Day - the record, the song, the attitude, the album cover.

2. Misunderstood - surprised the single mix of this song didn't become a hit, one of the best post 2K tracks.

3. Jon's HAND era hair, he looked young, fresh but still rock star.

4. Jon in this SNL digital short (US Only):

5. The Circle Tour - I didn't get to see a show but I loved watching the videos.

6. The BWC stadium tour stage.

7. Being referred to as "Mr. Bovine Joni himself" on It's Always Sunny

8. Jon's Captain America Jacket.

9. The WAN album cover art.

I'm gonna add a few more...

- Unplugged 2007 - Along with some of those performances. Ie IML with AAR was really composed well especially with Richie half in the bag.

- Both Borgotta shows in '03 & '04... Even though TLFR was a bust. A one time performance of those songs live was actually somewhat of a highlight. In addition, the Box Set set with Jon on Drums was also a great night. (I was at both)

- Eve Of Destruction

- 10 sold out nights at the Prudential Center (I went to about half of them)

- 12 12 12 performances (Only because it was probably the last big Jovi highlight in terms of a performance)

- 911 Tribute in Time Square

In no particular order:

1. The Box Set. Even though not all songs are great (some are actually puke inducing) but the way they approached and released this set is an example of doing things right for the fans. Other bands should take notice.
2. Have A Nice Day - killer song
3. It's My Life - killer song that saved their career
4. Who Says You Can't Go Home - great crossover song
5. Just Older and Love's The Only Rule - best songs in their respective albums (which happen to be their best albums in the last 15 years)

That's it.

1. The Crush Album - yes, IML saved their career but the whole album is near perfect and certainly perfect for them at that time.

2. The Circle Tour - SFTP acoustic, Richie's Homebound Train, long shows and frequent audibles... best tour I've seen in person.

3a. Keep the Faith/Sympathy medley on the OWN tour.
3b. Their stage entrance on the OWN tour.

4. Undivided

5. The HAND Album - the title track is good, but besides a couple weak tracks, it is a very impressive album.

5. Make a Memory

6. The Stage Satellites on the Bounce arena tour

7. The Live Acoustic Record we never got - Heroes, Something to Believe in - I'd really enjoy hearing it one day

8. The Box Set

9. That's What the Water Made Me

10. The Crush B-Sides

Edit - Bumped to 11. This Left Feels Right - yes, it gets pretty bad in places, but dammit they tried something daring and unfortunately this will be the last time we see that type of courage from this band.

Agree with most of the points. I'd like to add the Stand By Me duet from a couple of years ago. So f*cking great :-)

Also Live 2011 European Tour, what a blast. Actually I enjoyed almost all of the last 15 years, only Jon's decline on the seconds half of the last tour was making me cry :-(

Oh, one thing: what's Eve Of Destruction ???

The Washington version is better which is not on YT

Here is an objective list of the most important events:

1. Reunion with Alec (Camden 2001 & Giants 2001)
2. Largest crowd during BJ Concert - 500,000 (Times Square 2002)
3. Shepherd's Bush Empire 2002 webcast
4. Box-set
5. BJ inducted into the UK Hall of Fame
6. 1st Grammy Award for "Who Says You Can't Go Home" (but I hate this song)
7. JBJ & RS inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame
8. "Live at Madison Square Garden" DVD/Blu-ray
9. "When We Were Beautiful" movie


+ some more several subjective live events:

9. 12.12.12 Sandy Relief
10. Cleveland 2013 webcast

*The come back hit of It's My Life taking the world by storm

*Seeing the band in St. Louis in 2000. It had been a while since my last show and they were amazing that night. Believe it or not, it was the first time I ever got to hear I'll Be There for You and that was one song I had been dying to hear forever so I was over the moon--and I heard it properly sung by Jon. I don't even like the song Never Say Goodbye all that much, but Jon came out for another encore by himself and started it acoustically and I just about lost it. Then everyone else joined him.

*Traveling to Atlanta with my dad and my friends Julie and Colleen along with a girl from Alabama (via India) to see them in 2003. I didn't know it was the last road trip I'd take with my dad. He quipped that I had a variety of friends (A Yankee, a Redneck, and an Indian). Of course, the concert was great too, but the memories are more important.

*The Borgata shows for TLFR. I was sick as a damn dog at both of them, but they were really great shows. I usually can't stand Bad Name live, but it was one of he highlights of those shows. I liked night one better. I wish they'd done the DVD of it.

*The duet with Keith Urban. It may not have been released, but I'll always enjoy it anyway.

*The Box Set: In particular certain songs--Satellite, You Can Sleep While I Dream, Rich Man Living in a Poor Man's House, Kidnap an Angel...several others I can't remember right now because it's too early in the morning!

*Seeing the band in Omaha in 2005. It had been a while since I had seen them last and a lot had happened. I had kind of gotten away from Bon Jovi because my father had died and I associated so much of Bon Jovi with him. I had very much gotten into Keith Urban and had been following him in concert and since he puts on an utterly amazing show and is such a phenomenal guitarist in addition to being a great front man/singer I was honestly wondering if Bon Jovi would even live up anymore. Also, I saw both acts in Omaha just a few weeks apart (my signature pictures are both from Omaha). So I was relieved and impressed when I saw Bon Jovi and they were just as good as I remembered them. Jon's still the best front man in the world.

*Lost Highway album. I really enjoy that album.

*Walk Like a Man bonus track--not only should it have been on the regular album, it should have been a single. If they had anyone in their camp who actually listened to country music they would have known that was the song that would have grabbed the country market, both males and females.

*Seeing a couple of shows in Boston on the Lost Highway tour. Colleen had apparently tried to kill me the night before the first show with her cooking (food poisoning) so before we ever left for the show I told her I wished we didn't have even have tickets because I didn't feel like going. (She's thinking "Do I take her to I take her to the ER or the psych ward?" at this point.) Somehow as soon as the show started, I was completely cured. :lol:

*Road trip to Kentucky with Colleen to see them at Churchill Downs in 2010. Dierks Bentley joined them for Wanted Dead of Alive. (I put it on youtube but I can't remember my username. This is someone else's video of it.)


*Jon & Richie being inducted to Songwriter's Hall of Fame
*Jon's 2nd Golden Globe Nomination
*Winning a Grammy Award
*Charting a #1 Country Song
*Jon's performance of Hallelujah on MSG
*You Want to Make a Memory
*Whole Lot of Leaving
*Love's the Only Rule
*We Got It Going On (Shut up--I love this song... it's gotten me through many a bad day at work)
*I Am
*The Distance
*Mystery Train
*Just Older
*Beautiful World
*What's Left of Me

In no particular order

P.S: I used to joke that Tico was the only tattoo-less member because "his mommy wouldn't let him." Then I ran across an interview where he says it was the only way he could pursue a music career with her blessings!

I have MANY highlights over the past 15 years. A lot of these are personal reasons and some of these 'highlights' may not be some other peoples choices. I'm not really one for calling Bon Jovi getting inducted into stuff or winning awards as highlights but I guess they are for other reasons. So anything that Bon Jovi have won, been inducted too etc... count them already.


* It's My Life/Crush - The song/album that got me into the band. I remember liking a few other songs due to my brother being a really big Bon Jovi fan at the time but It's My Life made me a fan. I'll always remember him getting 'Crush' before it came out and hearing it in his room and I instantly loved it and knew the words to most songs very quickly. Whenever I hear some songs from Crush, I always think back to really early 'summer' 2000.

* Say It Isn't So - By no means the best song but it was the first Bon Jovi single I got. I went into town with my brother and his mate to go and get it with them & Paul bought me it. I remember listening to it with the demo bonus track for months.

* Bounce Album - First album I bought myself. I saved up to buy it and the singles. I was so excited at the time!

* Manchester 2003 show - My first Bon Jovi concert. A day I will never ever forget. I had to do a half day in school and I couldn't wait for it to be over. My mum worked in the infants part of the school at this time and I remember seeing her walk out the school and I knew it was time to go! I literally ran out and went straight home. I had a Bon Jovi hat made on holiday in 2001, I had a tshirt made, a Bon Jovi pendant and had a flag I got from Spain draped around me walking down the road to the bus stop like I was a superhero. I looked an idiot but I really didn't care. I got the coach into Manchester on what was a really warm day. I remember everything about it. I was fascinated by Old Trafford, seeing so many cool Bon Jovi tops etc.. I got spoilt that day by my mum who came with me. Going inside the stadium and I was at the very very back and right at the top of Old Trafford but I felt closer than anyone at the time. I genuinely nearly fainted when I went up to the stairs in the stadium, though. Seeing that many people in such a big stadium with the stage set, it really did take me back. I loved that whole day and a concert I remember so clearly.

* Boxset - Listening to songs from this now as we speak. For me, one of the best things Bon Jovi have brought out. So many songs got me straight away and by this time, I knew I was a big big Bon Jovi fan. I saved up again to buy this boxset. I think it was £40 at the time. At 11 years old, that was a huge amount for me :p

* Have A Nice Day Album - This album came out around the time I was doing a short film when I used to do acting. Some songs I listen too now take me back to filming that film. I always remember coming home to this album after school and having to wait until late that evening to listen to it because I had to have tea and then go shopping. I listened to it and again, so many songs got me straight away.

* Nothing - This song should have been on the album. I still rank it in my top 10 post 2000 songs.

* Any Other Day - Still one of my all time fav songs. I heard it on a website as a 30 sec teaser before the album came out & knew it was a song I was going to love when I heard the full version. I still do to this day and a lot of my school mates did at the time. It also reminds me of a school trip I went on because we had it on.

* Manchester 2008 show - This was my third Bon Jovi show. My brother didn't do any shows for this tour (or any other since) as he kind of killed them off for himself and hated the 02 show. Anyway, I went to this show wanting to hear 'Always' more than any other song. It was my favorite song at the time and they had started playing it more reguarly. I got to hear it and will never ever forget it. I had a big craze with the album 'These Days' at the time so to hear them play 'Diamond Ring' which isn't a favorite by all means to then go into 'Always' is something I will never ever forget. I got to hear some other songs I really wanted to hear that night and that is still in my top 2 shows.

* The Circle - My favorite post 2000 album. Hearing the snippets on 'Amazon' a few weeks before the album came out had me fairly excited. I remember it being a very cold day when it came out and getting home from sixth form to see the parcel at the door. Nobody was in the house as it was midday so I went and got the stereo system out and had it loud in the house. I sat in my room with nothing on (it was a dull day too so it was quite dark) and just sat on my chair listening to the album. I loved it from first listen and still love it. Again, so many songs got me straight away. I remember it being late listening to 'We Weren't Born To Follow' on it's first radio premiere and I wasn't a fan of it as it was too poppy but it grew on me by the time the album came out. I listened to this album for months and it reminds me of winter 2009 and sixth form so much!

* The Circle Tour - I couldn't go the o2 shows because of exams and no-one to go with and the cost etc... I was gutted at the time and even more gutted at the songs that got played that tour. Following the PBP's on here absolutely killed me yet I loved it at the same time. So many songs that got played on that tour always gave me hope for other tours. The response they got here and sometimes at the shows were brilliant and made me think that the band had changed. 'Let It Rock' & 'It's Hard Letting You Go' I still watch/listen too reguarly. Epic.

* European 2011 Tour - Again, the songs that got played blew me away. I unfortunately didn't get anything like that at my show (Manchester) but the Hyde Park shows and the Dublin shows were incredible, in my opinion. Energy and set lists at times were unreal and I wish I got tickets for them shows.

* That's What The Water Made Me - My favorite post 2000 songs. I have listened to this song well over 500 times. Easily. Hearing it on the radio 2 show I really enjoyed it but studio blew me away. I just think it's an incredible song. Shame the album wasn't.

* Manchester 2013 - I wasn't sure what to expect for this. Richie wasn't there, shows hadn't been too good, Jons vocals weren't the best and it was my girlfriends first show. The day, again, was brilliant. Set off really early with the girlfriend so she could see the buzz before a show, the merchandise, how people camp outside the stadium and so on... I wanted the show to open with TWTMM and it did. Loved it. And again, I heard some songs I didn't think I would. I got to hear 'Garageland' which I loved and I thought the energy and performance was great. My fav show along with 2008 Manchester show.


Okay, so far I have kept it in order of songs, albums & tours. Now I'll do the odd little bits.

* PBP's - Something I have already mentioned. I was literally addicted to this site around the 2008-2010 tours. The PBP's & YouTube videos made this forum enjoyable for me even though it had some dickheads on it at the time. I made 'friends' on here still, though. Following so many rare songs getting played and seeing the responses they got was something I wish we could do on here again. It's a shame that not many shows have 'rare' songs.

* Kev - A friend for life. Knew him before I was a member on here through my brother but this site has what has made us stay in touch and be as good mates as we are. Like I said earlier, my brother stopped being a fan in 2007 and it wasn't too long after that I became a member on here. I remember speaking to Kev via MSN for hours about shows and songs etc.. I always wanted to go to a show with Kev. Thankfully in 2013, I got to go to two. Well, I wasn't with him at the Hyde Park show but we met up before and thankfully him, Carli & Ollie let me stay in their hotel as I had nowhere to go and had been let down that day. One of my best mates who has me in stitches everytime we meet up.

* Have A Nice Day Album Cover - I wasn't a huge fan when I seen it. Paul shown me it when we went to a Liverpool game at Anfield and I remember being pretty let down by it but when I got the album, I loved it. My favorite album cover ever and pretty cool video to go with it.


I have been a fan for 15 years and that's why I have made this post so long and I apologize. This post has made me realize why I still love this band and why I will always be a fan. I was 7 when I became a fan so Bon Jovi have pretty much always been in my life. I will never have memories like this with any other band and I don't particularly want too as much as I like some other bands.

Again, apologies for the long post. I don't usually post like this anymore but I love this thread and I hope a lot of people post on it as it'll be good to see what memories everyone else has had.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. You're good writer... I felt like I was there with you.

Kev is an awesome guy and a major kick in the ass to go to a show to. He is so enthusiastic you can't help but be the same. I have enjoyed when he has come to visit me (right up until 2 weeks ago) and will be happy to share any future shows with him.

I enjoyed your recap - if I sat down and did the same it probably be just as long - if not longer. :)

Great Post! Don't apologize for it being long. That's how I wish all members would respond to every post on here. Great Job!

He is a very funny character!

You should do this Kathleen. It'd be good to see what the likes of you, Kev etc.. have enjoyed over the past 15 years too.

Really do like this thread and hope more people put stuff up as I have probably missed some out myself.

'Think I'll go the same way as Jay here and say the summer of 2008 was pretty special. The PBPs here were crazy. It's fascinating how sitting at a computer waiting for messages about songs being played thousands of miles away can be so exciting but it truly was. I remember actually checking the setlist for the Des Moines show in 2008 at school and seeing 'Always', 'One Wild Night', 'Misunderstood' and 'Hey God'. My friends couldn't quite understand why I was so excited but I was convinced that the band were going to go all out for the European tour and, to an extent, they did to be fair.

This board was crazy busy in those times. I think the band really captured everyone's imagination again during that time period, and it seemed like everyone here was genuinely excited about the direction the band was heading. It was awesome :)

- Twickenham 2008 - now many people would say it was disappointing but it was my first show and I thought the performance was great. Biased maybe but Jon's voice was strong, Richie looked great and the band were tight. They opened with the classic combination of 'Livin' On A Prayer' into 'You Give Love A Bad Name', and then followed 'Lost Highway', which is actually a favourite of mine. The setlist was 'disappointing' at the time but 'Dry County', 'Always', 'Diamond Ring', 'Blaze Of Glory' etc. were played (during the first night anyway. I couldn't do the second show). That just shows how good the setlists were around that time! A tremendous weekend all round really.

Rock In Rio 2008 Broadcast - Vanilla setlist, but a band on fire. They played with a high intensity and gave a great performance. I remember 'Blaze Of Glory' sounding particularly good, and Jon did very well with 'Always'.

- The rarities at the O2 Arena - I didn't attend any of these shows. I was meant to but exams came at a bad time. These shows tend to get huge praise from some and stick from others. Personally, everything I saw on YouTube had me aching to be there. The band may not have done full album nights etc. but some of the songs they did play were just fantastic. 'Something To Believe In', '(It's Hard) Letting You Go', 'Let It Rock', 'I Get A Rush', 'Garageland', 'Something For The Pain (Acoustic)', 'These Days (Acoustic)', 'Lay Your Hands On Me', 'Dry County', 'Living In Sin', 'Hey God', 'Never Say Goodbye'...

2011 - I only attended Manchester, which was a solid performance but the weather was horrible and the setlist was probably the ONLY weak one of the tour. Never mind though! That European tour in 2011 followed on from '08, and saw the band in blistering form, having fun and throwing a bone to the diehards. Some of the performances were fantastic. Perhaps it should have all ended there...

2013 - I heard 'Someday I'll Be Saturday Night' live for the first time. I went beserk to be honest. I would be astounded if anyone who had attended for more than one concert hadn't heard this amazing song but either way it's one of my favourites and is still one of Bon Jovi's finest efforts. I enjoyed the sunderland show. Nothing exactly 'special' about it, but it was fun and a decent performance.
Glasgow really hurt me though. You could sense the band didn't want to be there. It was July but pretty cold and Jon just wasn't in the mood. Of course, they were playing Hyde Park within the coming days. I've been stung by that particular curse twice...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I still love this band. Sure, we probably don't listen to them as much and things are very quiet right now. Hell, the world of Jovi is pretty sour right now and it's hard to see if things will ever improve. I can watch shows from 2003, for example, and just be in awe. Many people will say the Bounce era was a bad one but there's a raw energy and vibe about it all I love. The performances/Jon's voice range from sublime to shocking. Very strange. The structure of the set was changed up a little too, with staples hits such as 'Wanted', 'Prayer' etc. not closing the show for example. Whether it worked is down to opinion but they mixed it up at least.

I want Richie to come back and I'd love to see one final tour in the vain of '08/'10/'11, where the band went all out and put on a great show for everyone attending. That's not going to happen, but one can dream, eh...

Keep The Faith

Last 15 years eh? well let me see...

2003 Hyde Park gig. Massive crowd, great weather and good set list

2004 The 100M box-set. Worked for Universal at the time and got 3 free! Some really good songs and some real crap but that's what I wanted. The crap interest me a lot as I cant believe that the band wrote some really bad stuff but was pleased they put it out.

2005 The HAND single. Best single for years

2006 MK Bowl with Nickelback. Great gig.

2007 First ever gig at O2. Had shit seats but good gig.

2007 - Lost Highway album. Again when bad, really bad but I do love Memory, Any Other Day, Boy Back in Cowboy & Walk Like A Man

2010 = The O2 gigs. Went to two.

2013 - WAN - Slagged to death on here but I do like it. Bar about 5 songs.

Actually quite a lot in these 15 years!

Crush was released on the 15th June, and as a comeback album (no matter what people think of it these days) at the time it was pretty great for me and defined an era in my life - besides Just Older, One Wild Night, and yes Captain Crash, seriously, what's not to like?

Seeing them at Gatesehead arena on the Crush tour and taking along my friend for his very first gig - and christ, we were both completely stoned.

The entire One Wild Night tour but especially seeing them at Hampden Park for my birthday - I went to the gig myself, had an amazing time, then ended up in a club where they played nothing but Jovi all night. Then back to an after party at my friends.

Shephard's Bush promo show - decided I was going at midnight the night before the gig, had no ticket, booked flights anyway, flew down, couldn't get a ticket for love nor money but someone won one on a radio show that day - and gave it to me! Epic show too. And got together with my future wife ;)

Seeing them five or six times on the Bounce tour - my first tour doing multiple shows, was front or second row at every gig, camped out at Hyde Park and still have that ending with Never Say Goodbye ringing in my ears.

Whole Lot of Leaving.

Lost Highway tour was pretty good.

Getting married in Sri Lanka with Make A Memory as our wedding song.

*THE CIRCLE* - it's still one of my favourite albums, particularly Loves The Only Rule, Brokenpromiseland and When We Were Beautiful.

The Circle tour, especially the 2 nights at the O2 and hearing Wild Is The Wind for the first time in Edinburgh (as well as only the 2nd time ever hearing it's Hard Letting You Go.)

That's What The Water Made Me, I'm With You, What's Left of Me and Army of One

Slane castle show!!!

Biggest disappointments?

Richie ****ing Sambora

Only playing a by the numbers gig at Ibrox on the Because We Can tour - c'mon, I know the reasons why, but it's the last time I saw them and it was okay but it doesn't leave me with the best memories ever.

1.) It's my life - the song that made me to become a fan. It was the official song of a german TV station for the European Championships in Soccer. I hadn't heard anything of Bon Jovi before. I was 12 years old, heard a snippet of the song while watching a match and it blew me away.

2.) One wild night - one of the best songs the band has recorded. It's a shame that such a big rocker isn't played anymore.

3.) The concert in Hessisch Lichtenau 2006. My first concert in Gelsenkirchen 2003 wasn't good at all. My second show in Hessisch Lichtenau finally proved me that Bon Jovi is such a big live band.

4.) Stuttgart 2006. It was my third show. I stood in the second row and it was fantastic. The show was average althought they played "Never say goodbye" as a request but I was so close to the stage like never before. I found Richie's pick after the show on the floor but a women took it away.

5.) The Circle. My favourite post-2000-record. It has decent guitar work although the production could be better.

6.) Frankfurt 2008. Great show with a lot of surprises like Damned or These days.

7.) Gelsenkirchen 2008 with Richie on vocals during These days. A dream came true!

8.) The intro melody of the Greatest-Hits-Tour. It sounds a bit crazy but this intro really built up a strong tension till the the band came on a stage and it gave me the creeps like no other intro before and after.

9.) The day before the conert in Munich 2011. I stood in front of the band's hotel and was waiting for the band. It got boring and I talked to a guy with a friendly appearance who also waited there with his nieces. Was it destiny? We introduced ourselves and couldn't believe it: We had the same names, the same hobbys, the same subject of study, and more or less the same residence but we meet 500 kilometres away! It was the beginning of a close friendship. We call ourselves doublegangers or twins now ;-) Greetings to you, my brother!

10.) The show in Munich 2011. A long concert with a lot of surprises like Rock you like a hurricane as a cover.

11.) The concert in Mannheim 2011. I was in the front row. The band was on fire as the crowd, too!

12.) Richie's tour in 2012. The first time I saw Richie solo. It was a big wish because I became a fan in 2000 and since then Richie made no solo tours. The first two shows in Amsterdam were great. I visited them with my doubleganger, of course ;-) The tour also gave me the opportunity to meet and interview Richie. A dream came true!

13.) The club show in Stuttgart 2013. My doubleganger and me (who else?! ;-)) were there. It's such a fantastic experience to see band so close when you had only seen them in big arenas before!

14.) Put the boy back in cowboy. Such a cool country-rock-track. I expected more songs of Lost highway in this style but we didn't get it unfortunately!

15.) I'm with you. The only song I still listen to from "What about now". The great groove and solo help to fade out the bad production.
