Featured Review

You stand in line, listening to the rumble of the crowd and feel your heart beat in anticipation of a great time. You're not too sure if you're going to like everything but you've heard good things so you spent the money and now you're there - hoping you won't be disappointed. Kid Rock was so entertaining! His style is different than most but you can see him having a good time out there & it's contagious. Well done! We rocked along with him to during real popular songs & even enjoyed the songs we weren't that familiar with. Bon Jovi was very energetic, entertaining and professional. They had a good mix of new & old & there never was a time when there was a lull in the middle like some concerts do. Well, they did slow it down a little with songs like Bed of Roses, but we all like their ballads. Loved how all four of them came out on the ring around the stage to be surrounded by the crowd in the middle of the floor while they performed a few great songs. A nice touch. And Jon, with his big bright smile and giving thumbs up to band members just made the crowd happy that he was having a good time and he was appreciating our response. The Circle tour has some very positive messages & their songs reflect their maturity through the years. Totally rock! Totally wonderfully enjoyable. The best is seeing parents & kids standing and singing along to the songs together - a real super mix!

I've now had the priveledge of seeing my favourite band 25 times since my first show back in 1989 and they always outdo themselves! I remain a faithful fan and always love seeing them live! And seeing them in Memphis was especially sweet since I was already on holiday there so in fact they came to see me!!! Elvis and Bon Jovi in the same day....was so thrilling! The Fedex Forum is a wonderful venue....right next to Beale street.....it was electric!

From the first note of ‘Blood on Blood’ as Bon Jovi was making their grand entrance to the stage @ Rogers Arena there was a charge running through the audience that didn’t stop until the very last note of the last song ‘Always’.

Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Tico Torres and David Bryan have a chemistry that can set the world on fire. Their years of playing together has created a concert-going atmosphere that’s so easy and natural its like hanging with ‘old friends’. Jon’s easy-going personality and welcoming smile along with his naturally friendly banter to the audience keeps things fresh and brings everyone in the audience into the ‘CIRCLE’ of friendship with them. As ‘Blood on Blood’ ends just before ‘You Give Love a Bad Name’ Jon says “This ain’t television Baby, get up out of those seats” and from that point on the filled to capacity arena was singing and dancing with the Band.

Jon didn’t slow down once during the performance his smile, energy and enthusiasm so contagious that everyone in attendance with filled with the same rush of adrenaline throughout the night. Jon’s fun-loving attitude, flawless vocals and guitar playing were smooth and easy never once missing a beat. Add to that Richie’s guitar playing excellence which is pure magic and the evening was a complete concert going event. This is one concert that I am so thrilled to have seen. I had waited years always saying that’s I’d go next time around and this time I actually did it and am so happy that I did. I know that when the opportunity comes up again I will definitely be first in line for tickets as I know that Bon Jovi will never be one to disappoint – this is a band that makes sure every concert is an amazing experience with a memory created that will be cherished for a lifetime – at least it was for me!

Thanks Jon, Richie, Tico and David for making this a night I will never forget – YOU ROCK!

Husband and I travelled from Windsor, Ontario to catch the 2011 Bon Jovi live Tour
The four hour drive to Columbus Ohio was well worth it. We bought ourselves VIP tickets and were pleasantly surprised at the organization and the thought that was put into the VIP party!! We had free flowing drinks and a wonderful selection from a buffet style set up for dinner! Our seats were good as well except they were rather close to each other, which was okay..we stood up the entire time..Bob Jovi played new and old tunes and the energy...WOW!! Is all I can say!!! If you love 80's Rock and Jon Bon Jovi... You need to this concert!! Awesome!!!

was a little disappointed in the fact that the tickets said be there 7:30 pm sharp as the show started on time and there was no support. 8:10 pm the show started. JOn Bon Jovi looked tired and there were a few songs that you couldn't hear him singing - whether it was because they were oldies or that he didn't know the words well enough. BUT when they played the hits the noise was tremendous! I was glad that I bought the less expensive tickets but glad that I went. they truly are the best!

Was disappointed in the stock of t-shirts and sizes. I wanted the grey with silver and coloured logo but they only had small sizes that wouldn't fit a fly and I am not an overweight female by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe it was the most popular but I ended up with a medium guys tour shirt.

This band knows how to ROCK.!!!
Bon Jovi rocked Vancouver on March 25 and March 26, 2011
They prove over and over again why they have been the #1 Tour in 2008 and 2010.
The excitement, buzz, electricity in the Arena on both nights was amazing!!!
You leave feeling HAPPY !!!!!
Great vocals, lighting, music - just plain FUN !!!!
This was my 6th and 7th Bon Jovi Concert and I can watch a million more.
They give 1000% effort each and every night. There is no lip syncing, dancing - it's pure entertainment by men that love to sing and play !!! You definatley get your money worth at a Bon Jovi concert - they play 2.5 hours plus !!!!
Can't wait for the next show. Thank you boys for what you do !!!

All of the classics were covered. No theatrics or pyro, were not old, just older! There were jumbo video monitors for those people in the nosebleed seats, Young and old were there, some with children in tow starting yet another generation of Bon Jovi Fans. The moderate (nowadays, anyway) ticket price was well worth it! Bon Jovi have not lost their flair for entertaining. Still, for a bunch of guys in their late 40's and 50's, they look nowhere near ready for retirement. Keep up the Great Memories and music

As soon as the music started, we stood up, danced and sang along to every song for the whole 2 1/2 hours. This was my 4th Bon Jovi concert and as always, Bon Jovi Rocked us all. When Bon Jovi perform, I seriously don't think there is a bad seat in the arena. Their energy is electric and everyone I have talked to, absolutley Loved the shows. I cannot wait for them to go to Vancouver again, and can only hope they would perform at least once in Victoria. The tickets were very affordable, and that helps us who have to travel far, with ferry fees, hotel costs and high fuel prices. I've heard of other performer's shows costing hundreds per ticket, and was pleasantly surprised at the affordability of this show. When we tell people how cheap our tickets were, they are very surprised and wish they had known the ticket prices before the concert, because they say they would have gone over for the show too. By keeping prices affordable, I think more people will go to more concerts and we all win that way. I hinted long and hard to go to Bon Jovi, and my husband surprised me with the tickets. I love him and how he loves me, knowing I have loved Bon Jovi since Slippery When Wet was released in 1986.
Yes, as all my friends know, I am a major fan of the entire band Bon Jovi. ;-)

Bon Jovi is amazing and gets better every time I see him. I hope he continues to include Rogers Arena in his future tours! I will go see him every time! This time I brought 4 girls and we had a blast! I loved that he started in a different part of the arena so that people at the back could see him up close too! Great job!!

Bon Jovi ROCKED the roof off Rogers Arena in Vancouver on 25 March. They played to a packed house for almost 3 hours straight with most of the arena on their FEET for 3 hrs, too! It was the BEST most AMAZING concert I've ever been to. Unforgettable!! BJ has so much energy. He seemed genuinely touched from the out-pouring from Vancouver fans... our warmth, heart-felt reception, and 2 encores. I think we exhausted him. Way to go BJ! You still ROCK! Best surprise....just how great BJ was, the sound system, and the little nuggest of surprise when Tico chirped in a few notes by himself near closing. Sigh! This was on my wish list of things to do before I die....AND I DID IT! Ok, I'm not that old, but it's great to actually get your wish (I missed BJ in LV by 2 days).

Bon Jovi returned to Vancouver for the first time since December 2007 and boy, what a reception! Bon Jovi wowed us with all of their greatest hits, power ballads included, and had the entire crowd on their feet from beginning to end. It was the kind of night that lasting memories are made of - especially for die-hard Bon Jovi fans. HURRY HOME TO VANCOUVER, BOYS!
