BON JOVI SIZZLE IN PHILLY
Hours after a massive thunder/lightning/downpour cooled the City of Brotherly Love off just a smidge, BON JOVI stormed the stage at CITIZENS BANK PARK in PHILADELPHIA, PA on Saturday, July 15th and ushered in a massive heatwave expected to last a week! With marching band music on the PA system, SOUL MAN (the Philadelphia's Soul mascot - god bless him, in full costume on a swealtering nite) ran out on stage, followed by a massive PHILADELPHIA SOUL flag and a dozen SOULMATES (the dancers for The Philadelphia Soul, the Arena Football Team Jon Bon Jovi owns in town.) And the Soulmates welcomed Jon Bon Jovi on stage... and he welcomed everyone to SOULVILLE. Check out the set list:
