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.”
