Anyone have a band /concert on your bucket list? Don’t wait!

We went to see Bon Jovi last night.

I have appreciated / liked Bon Jovi since the 80’s… and was fully expecting to recognize every song in their lineup. And have a blast!

Instead…. Poor Bon Jovi’s vocal range is totally shot… stage presence was OK but it was so obvious he didn’t have it anymore, they were even trying to drown him out with the band. By song 3 I was in my seat to stay.

What was worse, was that the band must’ve taken liberties over the last couple of decades with the music itself so in the absence of vocals you couldn’t even recognize the song because they were playing it differently. Very disappointing.

So, if there is a band on your bucket list go see them before it’s too late!
