BON JOVI "The Circle" Concert Soldier Field 7-30-2010




Friday Night it was Jon Bon Jovi's "The Circle" Concert. A new group called 7th Heaven opened and got the fans rockin'.


Kid Rock was up next and while he was very entertaining, his "F" bomb song was not appropriate for a Bon Jovi Concert!!! It was terrible!!! But I guess that's what Gutter Rap is all about. ( Jon, have Rock take this song out of his setlist,PLEASE!)



NOW IT WAS "JON BON JOVI" and the boys!!







WHAT A DUDE !! WHAT AN ENTERTAINER !! WHAT A SINGER !!

JON IS SO GREAT HE DOESN"T NEED AN OPENING ACT!!!

And here's the SET LIST
Blood On Blood -- We Weren't Born To Follow--Bad Name--Born To Be My Baby--Lost Highway--When We Were Beautiful--It's My Life--Sleep When I'm Dead--We Got It Going On--Bad Medicine--Lay Your Hands On Me--Bed Of Roses--Diamond Ring--I'll Be There For You--Saturday Night--Runaway--Work For The Working Man--Have A Nice Day--Who Says You Can't Go Home--Keep The Faith--Always--Wanted--Prayer


Here's a video for his same performance a few weeks ago in the Meadowlands NJ

CARRIE UNDERWOOD with Sons of Sylvia

Sunday night at Summerfest, CARRIE UNDERWOOD rocked her fans with great music, a little swinging, much sweat, and several costume changes. Sons of Sylvia, a young brothers group, opened.

First here's "Angie," who with her helpers, worked at one of the concession stands and really served me well with Diet Pepsi.
(takes time to load so be patient)
Sons of Sylvia, formerly known as "The Clark Brothers" when they appeared on American Idol, opened the concert for Carrie. They are really a Blue Grass group but only performed one Blue Grass number that was terriffic. Here it is.




And then Carrie opened with "Cowboy Casanova."


Costume change and then "Wasted."

"So Small."

And her beautiful 'swinging' number "Just A Dream."


Then a duet with the Sons of Sylvia.


And "I Told You So."

And that ends the top concerts from Marcus at Summerfest. Later this week I'll post some of the other music but first take a ride on the ski lift and look at the crowd.
