Jon "Buns" Jovi (- Richie Sambora) at the Bradley in Milwaukee

A lot more videos Sunday so check back later Sunday or Monday!

Saturday Night it was Jon "Buns" Jovi at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee. The pictures and videos were taken again, backstage, but boy there are some good ones. I took backstage shots at the United Center at couple of months ago and they turned out great (Check my earlier Bon Jovi Blog from March 9th). Richie was still not back with the boys ( This time kick it Richie) so a little something was missing from Jon's Milwaukee concert. Even so it was a good concert and Jon had a lot of energy as you will see in a couple of these videos.


Here's Jon 's opening , "Lost Highway"



"You Give Love A Bad Name"


"It's The End Of The World"


"It's My Life"


"The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same"

"We Got It Going On"


"Bad Medicine"



"When We Were Beautiful"

1964 The Tribute

Saturday night it was "1964 THE TRIBUTE" at the Rosemont Theatre. The concert was a tribute to the Beatles with an opening tribute group of "THE ROLLING STONES".
The "Stones" group was energetic but the real "Mick and Keith" are more energetic at their age then this group. However, their singing wasn't bad.

The "1964" group was really good and played various instruments, including a 12 string guitar and a harmonica. They performed better then the local tribute group known as "American English" ,who are good too, but not as versetile as "1964".
Here's a few pictures from my IPhone which aren't the best. The video I took didn't capture sound so no video, sorry.

Drinks anyone?
Maybe a T-Shirt?
Here's the "Rolling Stones"
And "1964 The Tribute"

Next stop is Wednesday with "Sheryl Crow" at the Genesse Theatre and Saturday with "Bob Seger" at the Allstate.
