bon jovi celebrates the spirit of philadelphia soul with special performance

Bon Jovi gave a special free performance today at the Wachovia Center for a live, hour-long, commercial-free broadcast on WMMR 93.3 FM which was hosted by hometown hero Pierre Robert. The concert was also streamed live at www.wmmr.com.

The show was attended by a limited number of ticketed WMMR listeners and former Philadelphia Soul season ticket holders.

WMMR announced the special broadcast last Friday, heralding Jon Bon Jovi’s fulfillment of a promise he made on WMMR’s Preston and Steve show in 2008. The former co-owner of The Philadelphia Soul predicted a championship win for The Philadelphia Soul on-air and was met with a request by DJ Nick McIlwain:

“Hey Jon, if the Soul win the ArenaBowl, maybe you guys could put together a free concert for all WMMR listeners.”

Jon quickly replied, “Deal!”

Friday’s radio announcement was accompanied by an email to former Philadelphia Soul season ticket holders to quickly spread awareness of the broadcast and availability of limited chances to attend.

Though the Philadelphia Soul claimed victory at the July 2008 ArenaBowl, the Arena Football League had simultaneously begun their own fight for survival that spanned two years and sadly, resulted in the suspension of League operations.

The bittersweet announcement of this special concert to celebrate The Philadelphia Soul brings Jon’s promise full circle and adds a third show to the band’s sold-out two-night stay in Philadelphia as part of their “The Circle World Tour.”

Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer Lyrics

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says: We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer

Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough

Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers: Baby it's okay, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer

bon jovi always lyrics and video

This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up

I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

Bon Jovi rocks 'American Idol'

Livin' on a prayer, and certainly a heck of a lot better than Latin J-Lo noche, the six remaining Idols belted out their best Jersey boiler room rock and roll.

I believe Jon Bon Jovi is an underused and underrated talent, he can act, he still looks great, and he can sing the crap out of a power ballad.

Ryan Seacrest announced that last week's charity Idol Gives Back raised well over the first predicted $40 million.

Jon told the contestants that his kids loved the show, and that he liked the authenticity.

Let's discuss:

Phil Stacey sang "Blaze of Glory." He did great, vocals were on, and his performance was perfect. Randy said it was the bomb. Paula Abdul thought it was the best opening all season long. Simon Cowell "didn't hear any authenticity."

Jordin Sparks

Talk about making everyone feel old... Jordin's MOM grew up on Bon Jovi. To complete the part, Jordin was rockin' some Jersey girl hair tonight. Unfortunately, she was not rockin' the Jersey voice. This was my least favorite Jordin performance. Maybe she is not the supergirl I was hoping for, but I am going to let it slide since it's Bon Jovi.

LaKisha Jones

LaKisha had previously seen Bon Jovi on Oprah. How thrilled he must have been. LaKisha was smart with her selection, picking "This Ain't a Love Song." Her voice handled it very well, but I thought the song itself was just kind of cheesy. She did move Simon to a borderline makeout session, so it couldn't have been all bad. I am not a big Bon Jovi fan, but I do think they manage to make their songs work well. It doesn't mean others can work the same magic.

Melinda Doolittle

Seriously... is there any style of music that Melinda can't handle? She was so timid with Bon Jovi, but she kicked some major ass on stage -- as usual. If it wasn't for Blake busting a move, she would have been my favorite for the night. It was close though because I just love seeing Melinda cut loose. No matter what style she's singing, she appears to be a totally different person on stage... and I like that person.

Keep the Faith

Keep the Faith was released in November 1992. To promote Keep The Faith they returned to their roots playing a few dates at the small New Jersey clubs where had started their career. The band appeared on MTV Unplugged in late 1992 but that was different from the other episodes of MTV Unplugged series. The performance captures Bon Jovi in an intimate, "in the round" experience, performing acoustic and electric renditions of classic hits and new material from Keep the Faith. The concert was released commercially in 1993 as Keep the Faith: An Evening with Bon Jovi.

Keep The Faith spun six hit singles internationally and sold over nine million copies world wide. As Bon Jovi's sound morphed itself to work in the 90s music scene, their image changed, as well. When Jon Bon Jovi cut his hair he made headlines on CNN. The album's title track was its first release, followed by the ballad "Bed of Roses" which was a major Top 10 hit in United States.

To mark the beginning of the band's next phase Bon Jovi embarked on an extensive international tour, visiting countries the band had never seen before and headlining stadiums in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia. They visited 38 countries and performed 177 shows on the Keep The Faith tour.

Solo albums

Between 1990 and 1991, the band members went their separate ways. The exhaustion of recording both Slippery When Wet and New Jersey back to back with highly paced world tours after each album took its toll on the band. The band have since stated that there were few if any goodbyes between them at the end of the New Jersey tour. During the time they took off from the scene, the band retreated to their own interests and showed no desire for making another album.

Jon Bon Jovi recorded a solo album, a soundtrack to the movie Young Guns II more commonly known as Blaze of Glory. Having been originally approached by his friend Emilio Estevez to lend "Wanted Dead Or Alive" as the theme song for his upcoming Billy The Kid sequel, Jon Bon Jovi ended up composing an all new theme song for the film's soundtrack and delivering his first solo album.

Released in 1990, the album featured high profile guests such as Elton John, Little Richard and Jeff Beck. The album fared well commercially and received positive reviews. The title track, "Blaze of Glory" hit #1 in United States. That year "Blaze of Glory" won an award for Best Pop/Rock Single at the American Music Awards and awarded a Golden Globe, as well. 

Sambora, with the help of Tico Torres and David Bryan, released a solo album entitled Stranger In This Town, in 1991. The album featured Eric Clapton on the song "Mr. Bluesman". David Bryan recorded a soundtrack for the horror movie The Netherworld, which was the brighter part of that year after he was hospitalized with an illness caused by a South American parasite. Alec John Such took a fall off of his motorcycle which injured his bass-playing hand, forcing him to develop a whole new way to hold and play his instrument.

Disillusioned with the music business, despite all his success, and unhappy with the status quo, in 1991 Jon Bon Jovi fired his management, business advisers, and agents, including his long time manager, Doc McGhee.

In October 1991 the band went to a Caribbean island of St. Thomas to discuss plans for future. They managed to resolve their differences by allowing each member to speak about his feelings without interruption from each other. Upon resolving their issues, they headed back into the Vancouver Little Mountain studios with Bob Rock to work on the band's fifth album in January 1992.

Slippery When Wet(1986–1987)

In April 1986, Bon Jovi moved to Vancouver to record their third album. Six months of studio work resulted in Slippery When Wet. The album, produced by Bruce Fairbairn and mixed by Bob Rock, was released in August 1986 and became Bon Jovi's breakthrough album. The first single, "You Give Love a Bad Name", became the band's first #1 single on the U.S. Billboard charts. The follow-up single, "Livin' on a Prayer" hit #1 as well, spending four weeks at the top position, both co-written with a young virtually unknown songwriter named Desmond Child whose songwriting talents were recommended by KISS frontman, Paul Stanley. The songwriting partnership of Jon Bon Jovi/ Richie Sambora/ Desmond Child has continued to the present day. "Wanted Dead or Alive" was the album's third single and still remains to this day, the Bon Jovi "National Anthem".
MTV wholeheartedly embraced Bon Jovi, whose camera-friendly good looks and live concert videos helped catapult the band into superstardom. With the overwhelming success of Slippery When Wet Bon Jovi had become the worldwide musical superstars they had been dreaming of. Slippery When Wet holds the record for the most weeks for a hard rock album at #1 in United States. 
Jon Bon Jovi was asked what all this astronomical success meant, to which he answered, "Everything is bigger, and it moves twice as fast. You're recognized twice as often. This is bigger, the whole world gets bigger. You have to sell more records, be huger. You get smarter and you understand the business a little more, so it's more responsibility. You understand it now, and you want to make sure everything goes right".
Following the group’s success, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora were asked to assist in producing Cher’s ‘comeback’ self-titled album in 1987. Jon and Richie co-wrote and sang backing vocals on Cher’s single "We All Sleep Alone" and also produced several other tracks on the album, later going on to co-produce Cher’s multi-platinum album Heart of Stone in 1989.

Early years

Once the band began playing showcases and opening for local talent, they caught the attention of record executive Derek Shulman, who signed them to Mercury Records, part of the PolyGram company. Because Jon Bon Jovi wanted a group name, Pamela Maher a friend of Richard Fischer, an employee of Doc McGhee, suggested they call themselves Bon Jovi, following the example of the other famous two word band Van Halen. This name was chosen instead of the original idea of Johny Electric. Pamela's suggestion of the name was met with little enthusiasm, but two years later they hit the charts under that name.

With the help of their new manager Doc McGhee they recorded the band's debut album, Bon Jovi, was released on January 21, 1984. The album included the band's first hit single, "Runaway". The group found themselves opening for ZZ Top at Madison Square Garden (before their first album had been released), and for Scorpions and Kiss in the US and Europe. They also made an appearance on the popular television program American Bandstand.
In 1985, Bon Jovi's second album 7800° Fahrenheit was released. While the album did not do as well as they'd hoped in terms of sales, it allowed Bon Jovi to get out on the road touring again. In April and May 1985, Bon Jovi headlined venues in Europe and Japan. In May, the band began a 6-month run of U.S. tourdates supporting Ratt. In the midst of that tour they managed to make appearances at the Texas Jam and Castle Donnington's Monsters of Rock concerts in England. Jon Bon Jovi also did a solo appearance at the very first Farm Aid in 1985.
