Bon Jovi
World Music Theatre
Tinley Park, IL

Opening Band: Eve 6

I LOVE Bon Jovi. But, I HATE the World (now called the Tweeter Center). Back in November, the Allstate Arena Jovi show was the best that I had ever seen. WOW! What a difference a venue can make!!! I know that it wasn't the band's fault because they were trying their best...but how good can you sound in a metal monster of a venue with all of that sound echoing everywhere? Plus, you have to undergo a pat-down search just to get in, and beers are a super deal at $8 a pop. The security guards even wanted to check my cigarettes...PLEASE!!!! I will definitely see them again...provided they aren't playing the World! (I refuse to go to the World ever again, even though it is the closest major venue to home!!)

Chicago is notorious for its frigid winters, but summer can be just as oppressive with the humidity. It was frightfully hot for this show, but so was the band. Buddy Guy was the opening act again :) Three of the five songs on a bonus CD for fan club members were recorded in Chicago over the past 2 nights.
