Visit the site for all the details of this super limited set and get your pre-order now!

Ready Set Go! First set at Joe Satriani’s ‘What happen’s Next’ Melbourne show did not disappoint. There was no support act at 8:15pm just straight down to business with Joe and his band. With amazing sound from Ibanez signature designed electric guitars, Marshall Amps, Korg keyboards at the iconic heritage listed Forum , it was certainly a rocking night. What a fabulous choice for a venue!!
The current live touring band rocking 6 cities in Australia included the 15 time grammy nominated star himself, Joe Satriani, the amazing Mike Keneally on guitar/keyboards, Bryan Beller, bass guitarist, and Joe Travers on drums, from Pennyslvania, U.S.
With the Melbourne show not sold out, the queue of people presenting were a sign of serious musicians attending the guitarists show! T-shirts went past such as Rolling Stones. AC/DC, Metallica, and of course with Joe Satriani from previous concerts! Musicians travelled through the Mezzanine area for a V.I.P meet and greet with Joe Satriani carrying a range of guitars in heavy cases in order for them to be signed.  Many were seen wearing the official merchandise such as the signature beanie and black t-shirts with photography of Joe wearing his aviator glasses. Most of the crowd were mature and low key.

The general admission crowd standing in front of a traditional stage, went wild on the opening song as expected which was assisted with a giant video screen for effect of moving cars. A rock anthem followed with lots of guitar distortion and slides with purple lighting for additional mood. The stage was a blaze with three guitars, keys and drums. Another rocking song followed that was delivered by Joe Satriani from the cool silver metallic Ibanez guitar which was held up to the lights which was quite blinding for the audience!! Black and white screen reflections added to the theme of cold rock.  Loved the strong bass lines from Bryan Beller. The fourth song was a new track from the latest album titled ‘Cherry Blossoms’  A more romantic, epic song. Japanese imagery was on the giant video screen which assisted to create the atmosphere.  The crowd were happy with a small amount of die hard fans evident. Joe continued to change guitars effortlessly throughout the first set. The next guitar change to the Red Hot Ibanez, was a rock song with space ship video imagery travelling at lightning speed through space. Lighting was focused on Joe with all the other musicians in the dark. There were guitar licks and ripper slides inspiring me to take up electric guitar! The next song, the 6thsong in the first set saw Joe performing the string technique whilst using his teeth, inspired by Jimi Hendrix.
There were cosmic keyboard sounds and headless guitar techniques from the talented Mike Keneally. The crowd were clapping to this heavy rock song that was initiated by the bass player so a great atmosphere! On the giant video screen, there were thunderbolts, sunset, earthern imagery to create a dramatic effect. Joe then got down on bended knee for the crowd which was great to see him getting more up close and personal with his fans. The next song ‘Ceremony’ from his seventh studio album Crystal Planet released 1998, was a V.I.P crowd members favourite album. The signature silver metallic reflector guitar was used for this performance under warm red and cool blue lighting. The heavy metal/rock song ended with one ripping guitar solo from Joe. There were loads of phones in the crowd recording imagery and very little head banging going on! The penultimate song, was another great rock song where Joe continued to use the amazing silver metallic guitar for the crowd. The bass guitarist reminded me a lot of my favourite bass player, Timothy B Schmidt from the Eagles with his technique and free flowing mane of hair. There was little talking going on during the gig from the artist and the crowd, and they were absolutely mesmerised by their guitar hero from New York. At times as all guitarists do when they are playing they crouch over like it hurts to hit those notes for additional effect. Absolutely love it!! The bass solo was very cool then Joe ripped another solo. He then said ‘ I’m gonna hold onto this pick and be back in 15minutes’!

The second set commenced at 9:30pm with classic tune  ‘Sleep Walk’. The crowd loved this legendary instrumental song originally recorded in 1959 by Santo and Johnny Farina. Hearing the tune, instantly conjured up feelings of watching the La Bamba movie about singer Richie Valens  Joe Satriani delivered  under cool green lights to polished perfection with the red hot Ibanez guitar.
Drum solo performed by Joe Travers, was fabulous. The drum kit was all lit up under white lights and there were no other musicians on stage so what a time to shine! The crowd loved it.
Always with me, Always with you was next from album Surfing With The Aliens. This song was a highlight of the show, great song. Written for his wife, Rubina. Emotional theme. Video screen featured blue and green mixed with magenta lights. An end of the road song so amazing a tear jerker. One of my favourites of the night.

Performing ‘Surfing With The Aliens’ was the absolute highlight of the evening. Totally electricifying with striking lighting and giant pop art style cartoons on video screen. Same designs as seen on his CD cover. The only CD I have listened to in his career to be honest! His second studio album and most successful to date released in 1987.
After the show, one passionate fan commented this was his best show out of the 6 he had attended. 5 in Melbourne and 1 in Sydney. Another V.I.P fan who I was sitting next to was thrilled to have met Joe Satriani who is a down to earth guy. The show ended beautifully rocking out until 10:25pm!

Live Review: Dean Lewis @ The Astor Theatre, WA

Dean Lewis could be Australia’s teenage dream. The singer and songwriter from Sydney has all those classically attractive Australian traits, a shaggy mop of hair that suggests he may have just come back from a surf. Weary blue eyes that stoically stare out and a laid back straight down-the-line way of speaking. Couple that with his knack for writing soul-baring lyrics, and there is a reason why there was a high proportion of young women in the sold-out crowd at The Astor Theatre.
Telling the audience straight off the bat that he ‘wrote most of my songs in my bedroom’. His songs have an intimate feel and even with hundreds of people singing along Lewis was able to maintain a sense of intimacy throughout the show as he switched between his guitars and keyboard and ably backed by his band.
The lights went out and the crowd let out an excited scream as Lewis and his band came out for a short and snappy hour-long set beginning with ‘Lose My Mind’. In all its live glory the song lifted off in vibrant form to follow with a bold performance of ‘Stay Awake’, a song that is likely to appear on his debut album.

It was a great start for a set that never stayed too long in any maudlin territory because let’s face it Lewis’ songs can be emotionally raw. But in spite of the searching lyrics like, “How can I win when I’m bound to lose?” and from ‘Half A Man’ “I’ve been running from myself, afraid of what I would find” the melodies keep the songs ultimately hopeful. Lewis knows things are bad now, but they will get better at some point.
With the crowd enthusiastic to everything Lewis offered up, he led a large sing-a-long through ‘Chemicals’ and ‘Let Go’, and if they couldn’t sing along they would clap. Staring out at the audience Lewis still flashes that look of incredulity that you see in an emerging artist who is having their songs sung back to them.
During song breaks, Lewis riffed about the origins of the next song, most coming from places of emotional relationship turmoil. Yet it was somewhat of a contradiction to hear his lyrics filled with self-doubt and contemplation to then have him speak with joviality and a natural confidence.

There were many appearances of songs that will end up on his first album like ‘Hold Me’ and ‘The Place We Knew’ which were received just as appreciatively as his other beloved songs like ‘Need You Now’. With his sound pulsing through the same vein of indie folk rock with the likes of Passenger and Tallest Man On Earth it will be interesting to see if Lewis will cut himself a different cloth against all those other tender souls with guitars.
If the crowd was anything to go by then the lad is in a good spot. As he began the first rambling lyrics of ‘Be Alright’ and everyone erupted into a chorus and held up their phones; Lewis’ trajectory appears to be only up.
A stripped back version of idol Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Dancing In The Dark’ lacked the restlessness of the original and it closed the set in quiet fashion leading the crowd unsure if an encore was to follow. It did, allowing fans one more chance to sing and pour their hearts out with the massive ‘Waves‘.

A DAY ON THE GREEN JOHN FARNHAM DARYL BRAITHWAITE RICHARD MARX RUSSELL MORRIS BACHELOR GIRL

It’s the first weekend of summer and what better way to spend your day than in 40-degree heat watching some amazing live music. As the grounds of Sirromet Winery started to fill, the excitement was clear on everyone’s faces. They filed in early, with people getting their position on the hill with their picnic blankets and chairs.  No one cared about the Queensland heat, they were there to have a good time.
Kicking off the day was Bachelor Girl. This is the first tour for Bachelor Girl since reforming last year. They opened up the day with “Blown Away”, followed on by “Permission To Shine”. Bachelor Girl are working on a new album which will hopefully be released next year. They made this announcement as they smashed into new song “Calling Out Your Name”. The energy Tania had on stage was amazing, considering she is from Stockholm where it is cold six months of the year. She made jokes about how hot it is here in Queensland, and she thought that it looks like she’s crying because of all the sweat coming down her face. Tania made a shout out to all the girls working on the tour before playing everyone’s favorite, “I’m just a girl”. Tania had the crowd in her hands right from the moment she stepped out on stage. Bachelor Girl played a great mixture of old and new songs, finishing off their fun set with “Lucky Me”. I certainly can’t wait to hear more of the new tracks from these guys!

Next on the bill was Australian icon Russell Morris opening his set with “Black Dog Blues” followed on by “Wings Of An Eagle” which was in the soundtrack to the movie “The Dish”, before belting out a classic he did with Molly Meldrum in the 60’s “It’s All Over Now Baby Blue”. Russell was full of tongue in cheek humor on stage.  His performance was a great mixture of newer blues songs and old songs he did a lifetime ago. The one song everyone was eager to hear was of course “The Real Thing”. When Russell started this song, he had the whole crowd up and dancing before ending his performance with “Sweet Sweet Love”. If you haven’t seen Russell live before, in the words of Molly Meldrum “do yourself a favor!”

Richard Marx was next up on this hot bill opening up his performance with “Endless Summer Nights”. Taking a minute to sip on his martini before getting into “Take This Heart”. The big smile on Richard’s face from the minute he entered the stage he takes to the crowd telling them how he is thrilled to be here at “A Day on the Sauce” as he has renamed “A Day On The Green”. He then goes on to tell the crowd how he first met John Farnham 25 years ago, back when he had the most awesome fluffy mullet – better than John Farnhams! Richard then plays classics such as “Angelia” and “Hazard”.
It turns out Richard Marx is mates with Keith Urban and they have co-written songs together.
“If you are going to name drop, Keith Urban is the name you use!” says Richard. He then introduces the next song “Long Hot Summer” and finishing off his set with his most famous song “Right Here Waiting”. From the look and cheerfulness coming from Richard throughout his set, you could tell he was soaking in the atmosphere of the day having a blast on stage. If you get the chance to see Richard Marx on this tour, make sure you get along because I can promise you, you won’t be dissappointed!

As the sun is setting and its starting to get a little cooler it’s time for another great Aussie icon to hit the stage Daryl Braithwaite comes out hard with “All I Do”. . I personally have seen Daryl 4 times in the past year and there is always that one person who yells out “Play Horses” as soon as Daryl walks on stage, Daryl giggles as it’s yelled at him and replies with “To the man calling out for Horses, we all know it’s a bit premature!”Daryl gives us a mixture of songs from his old days in Sherbert such as “Blueswalkin’”, “Summer Love” and “Howzat” along with some of his solo songs such as “Beautiful”, “Not Too Late”, “As Days Go By”, “One Summer”. He is full of jokes tonight, looks at the clock and jokes “well there’s only two & half minutes left, we might say good bye now” stirring the crowd up before he ends his set with the only song possible to finish a Daryl Braithwaite set “Horses”. Even though I have seen Daryl so many times this year, I really loved his attitude on stage tonight, he really was having a great time!

Last but not least is the man we’ve all been waiting for, John Farnham. He storms the stage belting out Queen classic “We Will Rock You”. As soon as he came out singing this I was overcome with pure joy. This was my first time seeing John Farnham so I am not sure if he does this song all the time or if he chose to do it because of the hype Queen is getting at the moment with the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody”. But either way, it was a brilliant way to start his set as he had the crowd in his hands from the second he entered the stage!
He belts out classics right from the start with “Hearts On Fire”, “Age Of Reason” and one song he did with Human Nature “Everytime You Cry”. With the whole crowd already up on their feet dancing it was time to start playing some songs from his most successful album, “Whispering Jack”.

We were in for a treat tonight with John performing:
 “Reasons”,
“No One Comes Close”,
“Love to Shine”,
“One Step Away”,
“Trouble”,
“A Touch of Paradise”
“Pressure down”
The crowd loved every minute of this. John didn’t talk much throughout his performance as it was clear he wanted to give the audience what they wanted. We saw a sensational performance with hit after hit. He had no time for banter as there were too many songs to sing!

John finished off his performance with “The Voice” – complete with a bagpipe! We all knew that wouldn’t be the end, he would come back for an encore. He triumphantly returned to the stage.
“You smooth talking buggers!”, he roared as he stared down his audience, awaiting his every command.  He then belts his final song, “Long Way to the Top”, an Australian classic. I was absolutely blown away by this performance. I finally got to witness a true Aussie Icon live. His voice truly is phenomenal. Can you even be considered an Australian if you haven’t seen John Farnham live?!

Afterthought:
My first “A Day On The Green” was sensational! Despite the 40-degree heat, you walk into this type of venue and you just soak up the atmosphere and forget what the weather is doing. You are there to see live music and have a blast!
I did want to make mention on how well set up Sirromet Winery is for this type of event. Getting through the gates was very efficient, and once on the other side there are staff or volunteers eagerly handing out free garbage bags to every person that enters. This is such an excellent idea as there is never enough bins around at these types of venues. Since everyone is sitting, they can now just bag up all their rubbish in a garbage bag, and leave it for the cleaners. Now there will no longer be thousands of empty cans and bottles spread throughout the grounds. Well done to Sirromet Winery on their organization of this event!

Live Review: NECK DEEP @ 170 Russell

Back on Australian shores for the second time this year, Neck Deep have spent the last week headlining shows across the nation. After wrapping up a world tour earlier this year, the boys decided they weren’t finished with The Peace & The Panic era and proceeded to announce another round of world tour dates. Recently celebrating 6 years since their first ever show, it’s surreal to see just how much they have accomplished in just a few years. The Peace & The Panic charted at no.8 on the ARIA charts when it was released back in August of 2017.
Stateside, Between You And Me & Stand Atlantic were in my opinion the perfect trio of support acts for this tour. With a cover of Avril Lavignes’ Sk8r Boy, crowd dives and santa hats, they definitely got the crowd geared up for Neck Deep. It’s so good to see internationally renowned bands supporting our local Aussie scene.
Neck Deep finally hit the stage with Motion Sickness and it’s easy to see from the get go that we’re in for a rowdy night. Keeping the high energy rolling with Gold Steps and Smooth Seas Don’t Make Good Sailors, usually I would say that these were crowd favourites but it seemed like every song Neck Deep performed was a crowd favourite.

With an abundance of originals under their belt it’s odd to see a cover thrown in to the set, but this is no ordinary cover, Neck Deeps’ cover of Torn – which is best known as the debut single of Natalie Imbruglia – was part of the Songs That Saved My Life compilation album by Hopeless Records.
Easily one of my personal favourites from Neck Deep has to be Kali Ma, seeing it live and watching the boys up on stage bouncing around never gets old. Taking a moment to talk about how their first ever international tour was to Australia before getting in to some of the heavier songs of the night. Encouraging their sold out crowd to open up the pit for Citizens Of Earth and Don’t Wait. With the departure of their bass player earlier this year, they definitely haven’t let that slow them down in the slightest.

Joking about how this is going to be the last song but we all know how encores work, before finally playing what they proclaim to be “the most important Neck Deep song”, In Bloom. Such a beautiful thing to see a room full of hundreds of people come together and sing along to such an amazing song.
Back for their encore, Sam gets ambushed with a shoey and we all get rowdy forCan’t Kick Up The Roots. Not only was this the last Australian show, but it was also the last night for their tour manager Ian Koletsis who has been with Neck Deep for the last 5 years. After many thanks to their whole team, Ben dedicatesWhere Do We Go When We Go to Ian. With everyone screaming along to the “pain, pain, go away…” Neck Deeps’ “Straya Tour” was certainly one to remember.

With 2018 coming to a close, I think it’s safe to say that Neck Deep is in the top 3 of my favourite concerts this year. Not only do they put on one hell of a show full of energy but last nights Melbourne show had possibly the best sound quality ever. Taking some much deserved time off with only a handful of dates announced for next year, I’m excited to see what Neck Deep have coming for us next, I have high hopes and I doubt they’ll disappoint.

EP Review: THERAPY DOG ‘Spilling Milk and Getting Ants’

Spilling Milk and Getting Ants is the debut EP from Melbourne Indie Rock band, Therapy Dog. The project’s creator, frontman and singer songwriter Josh Hicks, started Therapy Dog as a more personal, intimate outlet for his own music, while remaining a member of another Melbourne Rock band, Useless Spaceman. Heavily influenced by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, The Smith Street Band, Counting Crows and Matchbox Twenty, Therapy Dog is the result of what Josh describes as his “failure to imitate them”; the music drenched in heartache, reflection on life and love, current social issues, the pursuit of happiness, hope and self improvement. Since the beginning of Therapy Dog, the one man band has evolved to three, with singer songwriter Damon Langley and Liz Lea joining Josh to play bass and lead guitar respectively.
The debut EP was written, recorded, mixed and mastered by Josh with a laptop and simple set up. Evolving from an EP that was originally meant to be a single/B-Side creation, Spilling Milk and Getting Ants was created and developed into a five track record for a more “well rounded piece”. Like the band name, it seems the EP has a true, organic focus on the psyche, truth, personal growth, happiness and mental health especially. During the five tracks, we see a shift in this psyche of the narrator, who was once an uncertain, self degrading, almost self deprecating caterpillar, now a little self affirming, growing butterfly escaping its cocoon into the big wide world.

The initial track, Breathe In, Breathe Out, is a near four minute track purely fueled by Indie Rock with a ballad twist. The track is incredibly self reflecting about life and relationships, with a small taste of self depreciation. The slow ballad builds slowly to a heavy rock instrumental led by the electric guitar and a strong, hammering backline.

“Just breathe in and breathe out…”

Keeping Up Appearances is a four and a half minute track, immediately led by the electric guitar. The melodic accompaniment almost engulfs the vocals to a point where you can barely hear the lyrics of the song in the beginning, but it eventually evens out again and the ballad style melody perfectly accompanies the lyrics of reflection, anti social situations, anxiety and the ruling of mental health and the vocal style of Hicks.

“Please take me home, I’m scared and alone. Please take me home… Keeping up appearances wears me down…”

That’s How You Get Ants is a highly, upbeat three minute track that has a real Country Rock feel. Reflecting on one’s life and mental health again, the song has a real self depreciating tinge when the lyrics call oneself a “piece of shit” for wanting to approach a girl he likes, cutting down his self worth. The song ends quite abruptly, almost like one’s thoughts.
Northcote is a near five minute track with a real focus on the vocals and lyrics of the song. Despite being named after a Melbourne suburb (and clearly the song is not about that), the Rock ballad is once again reflecting on relationships, love and life. The song almost questions the lover’s mental health, while questioning his own and if this is the real reasoning for their rocky relationship.

“Feels like I’m losing you, maybe I can change… These things don’t come easily, your head is not quite the mess you make it out to be. Just stop and breathe… This isn’t the end, this is only the start… You know I’m in love with you.”

Spilled Milk is the last track of the EP and the four minute song I’ve been waiting for! Now don’t get me wrong, I love me some ballads and all BUT there is nothing wrong with a real Indie Rock track; upbeat, fast with some incredulous but honest lyrics, self affirming and self aware while playfully hanging shit on yourself and music in general 🤷. We see the narrator come alive in this track, we see him grow and change and take on his past and his present.

“Don’t have anything better to do than to sit around and write sad songs about how I feel, ‘cause this world doesn’t need another white boy with a guitar to whine about how hard it is to always be missing her…”

Spilling Milk and Getting Ants is an EP I think most would enjoy for many reasons. It’s a journey of reflection, most of all, self reflection of oneself and one’s journey to happiness while dealing with situations like mental health, love and life in general. Therapy Dog has created a realistic, down to earth and relatable journey for many with Spilling Milk and Getting Ants. This is only the beginning for Therapy Dog as a band.

Live Review: ALISON WONDERLAND @ The Enmore Theatre, NSW

They say beneficial things come in little bundles and this was unquestionably the situation for Alison Wonderland's show and the Enmore Theater! Having seen the Australian EDM DJ perform at Yours and Owls Festival not long ago, I realized I was going to have a decent time however I didn't expect the visual and melodic marvelous I was going to be a piece of that night.

As her logo seemed to be "scorched" into the screens behind her DJ table the shouts of her fans around me were stunning. The murmur of a tune began playing as she seemed in front of an audience, playing out her first tune of the night and the title of her visit: 'Conscious'. I was inclining toward the boundary watching the children before me go totally nuts over hearing Alison Wonderland play a tune they perceive. Individuals were shouting, bouncing, moving, getting on one another's shoulders and truly having a decent time. I perceived this 'Alert' from her set at Good Things and my sweetheart's Spotify playlist so I was chiming in to the tune's chorale.

As her set proceeded with, Alison (genuine name Alexandra) played basically tunes from her 'Conscious' collection, for example, 'Adequate', 'OK', and 'Simple.' The drops in each and every melody were so compelling and once you hear one you can't get enough, you end up desiring for your next hit, much the same as a medication. Alison Wonderland's tunes were improved by either live vocals or live electronic cello (from what I could see, I was really far) and I couldn't get over how much ability fit in this minor 5'2″ Aussie performer.

She remixed mainstream melodies as grande Ariana's "God is a Woman," Dua Lipa's "New Rules" and fusing an ICONIC scene from the 2004 film 'White Chicks' the place Terry Crews is moving in a club and shrieking to the beat of Fisher's "Losing It." I lost 'It' being played at Yours and Owls so I was excessively enthused about watching it/tuning in to it again and it didn't baffle.

To wrap up the show, Alexandra disclosed how she endeavored to get Ed Sheeran's favoring to remix his diagram topping tune 'State of You' by tweeting to him, yet she got no answer. Along these lines, when life gives you lemons, you cover the melody with your very own vocals and remix the damnation out of it so it sounds like an as good as ever form of the tune. The group went completely wild and it was certainly an affirmation that this show would make a dramatic exit.

Despite the fact that EDM isn't the run of the mill kind I'd go after, Alison Wonderland makes me see it in a radical new, blinding light. On the off chance that you ever get the opportunity to see her perform live, certainly do as such! Gracious, and carry a couple of sunnies with you!

Live Review: BON JOVI + BIRDS OF TOKYO @ ANZ Stadium

The night has desired Sydney Siders who have sat tight for This house isn't available to be purchased visit to achieve our shores. It has been a long time since Bon Jovi visited Australia and you can feel the power of energy working as time taps on for the ongoing lobby of popularity inductees to hit the stage.

ANZ Stadium is loading up with energetic fans, many are lining for the show shirt's to wear amid the show and years to come. Running from all ages from the individuals who haven't missed a solitary visit since Slippery When Wet in 1987 to the more up to date fans that Bon Jovi gain with each new collection they discharge.

First to show up in front of an audience from Perth WA Birds Of Tokyo playing a considerable lot of their hits including Brace, Plans, and Anchor. Ian Kenny and co at that point played another melody pursued by the ever mainstream Unbreakable the tune picked as the subject for the 2018 Invictus Games as of late held in Sydney. Completing their set with fan top choices This Fire and Lanterns, Birds of Tokyo never frustrate.

Soon after 8pm the expectation is finished and here comes Bon Jovi. With the band in front of an audience Jon Bon Jovi enters the arena by means of a side passage like a prized contender as he's punching the air getting siphoned up for a night of shake n roll. Jon welcomes energized fans en route by means of the pit giving high fives and embraces to those lucky to be in his way while in transit to the stage. He gets a monstrous thunder from the Sydney swarm as he remains in front of an audience, Bon Jovi have arrived.

Jon wearing dark pants, red shirt completed off with a blue zipped coat with Bon Jovi's work of art and immortal Heart and Dagger logo urges fans to get up out of their seats as they open with 'You Give Love A Bad Name'. Jon is raring to go as they play 'Raise Your Hands'. The Sydney swarm are all on their feet prepared to shake the night away. The band at that point play 'Lost Highway' from the equivalent titled collection discharged in 2007. Before the following melody Jon says "Great to see ya it's been far too long, gotta part of getting up to speed to do" as they play 'Who Says You Can't Go Home'.

Bon Jovi are working their way through old and new melodies with 'This House Is Not For Sale', 'Crazy ride', 'We Weren't Born To Follow', and 'We Don't Run'. Fans are moving and singing to their top picks. Jon says to the group that he's simply getting ready which the band at that point dispatches into 'It's My Life'.

Jon stops and takes in the warm gathering by the Sydney swarm, grinning he says "Parcels occurred over the most recent a long time since we came to Australia out of the blue". Jon stops glances back at David Bryan, Tico Torres and whatever is left of the band he keeps saying "Tune in to those individuals 31 years after we came to Australia". Jon is glad and radiating as the jam emits in cheers and praise.

Tunes to pursue are 'God Bless This Mess', 'Destined To Be My Baby', 'Have A Nice Day', 'Keep The Faith' the lead track from their 1992 collection of a similar name and after that 'Luxurious situation'. Jon probably won't have the capacity to hit those high notes of the 80's nevertheless he beyond any doubt sings with so much vitality and enthusiasm that fans have appreciated for a long time.

Jon asks the group "My siblings and sisters would you say you are still with me out there? I gotta know whether you have the confidence, on the off chance that you trust, I gotta know whether you're prepared to go to chapel on a Saturday night?" Leading into 'Lay Your Hands On Me' from Bon Jovi's 1988 collection New Jersey.

'I'll Sleep When I'm Dead' is next trailed by 'Commander Crash and The Beauty Queen from Mars' off their seventh studio collection Crush. Completing off this set with their song of praise Livin On A Prayer at that point leaving the phase with the group needing more.

Not requiring excessively support to return in front of an audience by energetic fans that their reprise begins with 'Awful Medicine', trailed by an enormous most loved among many 'Needed Dead Or Alive', completing with 'I'll Be There For You'. Bon Jovi are not done yet they returned for additional with a second reprise of tunes 'Blood on Blood' and 'Some time or another I'll Be Saturday Night'.

It was a night of numerous hits, vitality and enthusiasm.
