Thursday Steamboat Willie and I, along with two other good friends (with much better seats!) went to the Bon Jovi concert. We were in the nosebleeds, but it was still worth it--although I wish we had waited to get tickets, so we could have also ended up with the free better tickets that the other two got! I forgot how much fun those concerts are--I'm pretty sure that even for somebody who isn't terribly interested in their music, it would still be a lot of fun. If you do like their music, it's all the better--they put on a good show, usually around two and a half to three hours of just them. 
I'd heard some complaints about this tour from Bon Jovi before we went--people who were upset that he didn't play much of his old music, which is all that a lot of people go for. My experience was definitely not that--he played a good mixture. He also played a lot of songs that I hadn't heard before, but that made Steamboat Willie absolutely ecstatic! She'd already been to 9 Bon Jovi concerts (yeah...she really has!) and heard some of her favorite more obscure songs for the first time live. 
Some of my favorite parts of Bon Jovi concerts:
- Well...the music is a pretty obviouis one. He puts on a very good show, plays a lot of songs and obviously loves to perform.
- Watching Jon Bon Jovi dance. He has almost the same lack of skill that I do, but he is much more exuberant about it! (here's a decent example on youtube!)
- Counting mullets and/or bad 80s outfits. This time, we didn't see any mullets and were severely disappointed. Usually, it's a good game!
- Watching weird performance tricks. This time, the drummer played a couple songs on what looked like a birdhouse and the keyboardist stood in between two keyboards and played one with each hand.
