On a steel horse I ride

One week ago tonight, Laura and I saw Bon Jovi in concert with opening act, Daughtry. The tickets were a last-minute purchase and a surprise for Laura since she had always wanted to see Bon Jovi.

We had great seats two rows up from the floor and left of the stage. We were probably 20 rows back which was a nice mix of being able to see the band members clearly and the entire stage set-up with the various video screens.

Daughtry was impressive. The bass player rocked. Vocals were right on and powerful (what do you expect from an American Idol finalist).

Bon Jovi played for over two hours and showed everyone how a rock concert should be done. After all, they've been playing to audiences for 25 years, and they know how to entertain and put on a show that all kinds of fans can enjoy.

Please realize that I'm not a huge Bon Jovi fan. They've been in town more times than I can count (and I can count pretty high, really) and I've always passed at the opportunity to see them. After finally seeing them in concert I can honestly say that I would definitely see them again.

The concert was on a school night (Wednesday) and we didn't get home until after midnight. Call the press! Laura and John stayed up past 11:00 p.m.!!
