Livin’ on a Prayer (Live from London DVD)

Posted on October 19, 2011 by admin

All right, now we’re finally into the meat of the Live from London  DVD.  I’m used to Prayer being used as an encore rather than an opener, but that actually works well.  Bon Jovi shows need a high-energy opener–that one song can set the tone for the entire show, and this song is a great one for this application.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be working my way through the Live from London DVD one track at a time.  This was the first Bon Jovi concert DVD that I had gotten for myself.

Random Song: Always (TLFR)

Posted on October 12, 2011 by admin

Artist: Bon Jovi
Album: This Left Feels Right

No, I’m not saving these songs up for a full album review.  I don’t think I can face listening to this album as many times as I have to in a short period of time to complete one of those reviews.

Up Next…

Posted on October 10, 2011 by admin

I figure that the next big feature on the blog should be another review–this time, though, I figure that rather than continuing on with 7800° Fahrenheit, I might do a concert DVD for the next one.

Personally, I’m debating between doing the review on Live from London or  Live at Madison Square Garden.   If anybody has one that they particularly want to read, just leave a comment on this post.

I’ll probably be starting the next review next Monday.

Random Song: The River

Posted on September 28, 2011 by admin

Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Album: The River

I discovered Springsteen relatively late.  Sure, his work was always part of the background of my world–which, when you consider that I’ve spent a fair part of my life in New Jersey, shouldn’t be a surprise.

The ten songs that made me like music

Posted on September 26, 2011 by admin

As you may know, I grew up during the heyday of grunge, but that style of music never spoke to me at all.  (Actually, I was so utterly alienated by grunge that I spent years unable to understand what it was that made people hardcore fans of any band.)  I picked up an album here and there over the years as a song caught my fancy, but it wasn’t until I bought that copy of Cross Road that everything started to come together for me to really become a fan of rock music.

Bon Jovi Lisbon Stream Review

Posted on September 21, 2011 by admin

I almost missed this; I hadn’t been paying attention to the official site very much, and I cancelled my original plans for tonight because I was tired when I left work.  (If I hadn’t done that, I’d have been miles from my computer.)
