Blood On Blood live in Sydney 17/12/10 - loved the concert and Blood On Blood was a strong opener.

Sorry for not memorizing the entire set list of each of the 75 shows I attended starting 25 years ago... I guess collecting illegal bootlegs does have its advantages after all

In person--Lay Your Hands on Me, September 17, 1989, Jackson, MS. It was phenomenal.

However, I heard Bad Name "live" on the radio prior to that and it was AWFUL and I was left with the impression that the band might not be very good live. It was from the SWW tour so Jon's voice was shot, but not only that, the music didn't measure up to the studio version either. I've had an aversion to Bad Name live ever since.

I Believe - Meadowlands 1993-02-20 Tried to find it on Youtube but that particular song is missing. :(

Only the second half of the song was recorded, unfortunately.

Maybe that is why I couldn't find it. I think that is the video bootleg I have from Living After Midnight. It sure was a super way to start my live love affair with this band. I was a fan in the late 80s with New Jersey but I was pregnant with my daughter for the June Giants 89 show. I was being cautious and stayed home - mostly because of the heat that day. So this was the next opportunity I got to see them live.

One of my long time yardsticks for a new band is how they sound live. I don't really care how they sound in the studio with all the special effects. If they sound good live - I'm in :D

I guess it was one of my yardsticks for musicians before I even knew I had yardsticks for musicians. I was only 12 or 13 when I heard that recording on the radio! There are two bands that opened for Bon Jovi that put on such bad live shows that I change the station to this day if they come on the radio.

I'll never forget the experience...

My seats were lower level in this small theater that packs about 1,500 people and some guy with this deep voice doing soundcheck kept saying "two two two" (He stuck around for a while - I've seen him at other shows)... Every time he'd pause, I thought the band was on stage. I was young and didn't know how it all worked yet..

Once he cleared the stage, the pre-opening music started... I'm thinking it was either Queen or AC/DC... Those 10 minutes felt like 2 hours... All of a sudden the lights go down and the screams stared. Not like the screams you hear today but piecing screams that could break glass... The curtain slowly raises and Jon is standing there with his Blaze Of Glory hair style wearing a t-shirt with rolled up sleeves that said 'love sees no color'... He's doing the snapping thing as he's singing "Fever''. I remember thinking it was a Madonna song. I had no clue back then... But honestly, that was my generations Elvis standing there right in front of me... I couldn't believe I was in the same room as this band.

It was one of the greatest nights of my youth... To top it all off, once the afternoon show was over, there were a bunch of radio station vans out front and we won tickets to the evening show. We got free t-shirts, bumper stickers, post cards, etc.

It was a once in a lifetime experience that I've never experienced again since and will never experience again ever...
