Artist: Bon Jovi
Album: 7800º Fahrenheit
Sure, you could dismiss the songs on 7800º Fahrenheit as being total 80′s cheese. You might even be right. But that would be doing a disservice to the music that’s on this album, including this song.

Random Song: Secret Dreams
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010Review: ‘What Do You Got’ Live
Friday, September 17th, 2010There’s a video of Bon Jovi performing ‘What Do You Got’ live from the show in New York yesterday on the P.C. Richard & Son blog. I still think that the song is a reasonably good effort on the part of the band, and it plays well live. There’s a photo gallery available from the P.C. Richard & Son Theater site as well that has some good shots of the band as well.
Review: ‘Garageland’ Live
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010The latest video posted on the official site is a performance of ‘Garageland’.
I didn’t really have any preformed opinions of this song. For some reason, this song never really stood out enough from the rest of the tracks on the box set for me to really take notice of it. (A quick check of the play counts on Windows Media Player reveals a total play count of 2 for this particular track.)
Review: ‘Lost Highway’ Live
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010The latest video to be added over at BonJovi.com is a live performance of ‘Lost Highway’. This song actually holds up relatively well during live performances. Sure, it’s not my favorite song from Lost Highway, but it is one of the Bon Jovi songs that actually works better live than on the original recording.

Tribute Band Review: Bad Medicine at Penn’s Peak

‘Dry County’ Live – Part 2
Monday, August 16th, 2010Now there’s an official live video of ‘Dry County’ from one of the O2 shows up on BonJovi.com. (I guess I should’ve waited to do that post from last week…)
‘Dry County’ live
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010This has long been one of the songs that I want desperately to see performed live, right up there with ‘Living in Sin’. If I had decided to chance the rain and had gotten tickets for one of the Meadowlands shows, I might have gotten to hear it performed, but that’s beside the point now.
Anyway, when I heard that the folks in Chicago got treated to ‘Dry County’, I had to check out the videos. Especially when I heard that Jon added an extra verse at the end. Ultimately I never did make out the words to that extra section that Jon added; none of the videos that I found had good enough audio for me to make any of it out. However, Jon was looking pretty good that night–love that sleeveless blue shirt, especially with the blond hair–so watching it repeatedly was hardly a burden.
But one of the reasons that I’ve always wanted to see this live is because of the solos in it; not only does Richie get to come out and play, but Dave gets to join him as well. A lot of Bon Jovi songs feature Dave’s keyboards in a supporting role–but on ‘Dry County’, the keyboard is front and center, and Dave’s work on this song is gorgeous.
