GIANTS STADIUM -- ROUND 2

Considerably drier and under clearer skies, BON JOVI kicked Jerseys' ass last nite during an incredible concert at GIANTS STADIUM. Here's the set list:

LAST MAN STANDING (Jon opened from the elliptical ramp)
YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME
COMPLICATED
BORN TO BE MY BABY
STORY OF MY LIFE
CAPTAIN CRASH & THE BEAUTY QUEEN FROM MARS
I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD (plus "Dancin' In The Streets" segment inserted into song)
RUNAWAY
THE RADIO SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT
JUST OLDER
IN THESE ARMS
ALWAYS (Jon again was on the ramp; the version was the TLFR style)
I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU (Richie Sambora on vocals with a blistering guitar solo)
HAVE A NICE DAY
WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T GO HOME
BAD MEDICINE / SHOUT
RAISE YOUR HANDS
LIVIN' ON A PRAYER

encores:
DRY COUNTY
WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE
IT'S MY LIFE (JBJ pulled the set list off the stage and realized they hadn't quite done it in the middle of the show like they usually do!)
BLOOD ON BLOOD
KEEP THE FAITH
SOMEDAY I'LL BE SATURDAY NIGHT

Amazing show, amazing crowd (amazing weather.) The first nite was like the band's own little ESPY's event... longtime friend and New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichik was on site and arrived with the band... football star Sean Landetta was on hand as well... so was Michael Strahan... New York Yankees legend Paul O'Neill... And last nite, Belichik came back for a 2nd show and did Paul O'Neill. Also in the house was Charlie Weis, Head Coach and #1 man in charge of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football. You know Bon Jovi -- and how they love their football.
