My geriatric VCR seems to be more interested in eating tapes than recording on them, so I’ve had some trouble picking up all of the current band appearances in a timely manner. Thankfully, these days everything shows up on the Internet sooner or later, so I’ve just be catching up slowly on the Net. (That is, after I managed to get the mangled tape out of the VCR.)
Most of the information in this item isn’t new, at least not for us fans. At least NBC does seem to be promoting the fact that they will be airing a lot of Bon Jovi concert over the next month.
The discussion of When We Were Beautiful didn’t seem to be anything that would encourage non-fans to watch the movie, which is probably too bad. It was nice to see that Matt Lauer was directing the discussion toward more band members than just Jon. In a lot of interviews, Jon does all the talking while the rest of the band sits around and looks decorative. I think that’s more of an indicator of the interviewer’s skills than anything else. Jon is used to acting as the spokesman for the band, so it’s natural for him to step in and handle undirected questions. However, from a fan’s perspective, it’s nice to see Dave and Tico get to talk. And Dave did hit it spot on about the power of Bon Jovi being in their live show.
Now I just have to decide if I’m going to try to make it up to Rockefeller Plaza for their appearance. The plaza is always swamped when they have Bon Jovi in, and it will most likely be really cold up there. Plus, I have to work the day before Thanksgiving, so I would have to take a vacation day to make it up there. That being said, it would be an experience, and it would be cool to be able to say that I did it.
