OVER 33,000 screaming fans for Bon Jovi !
By : Susan Esposito
I felt like I was back in the 1980 ’ s all over again when Bon Jovi performed for a sold-out crowd of over 18,000 at the St . Pete Times Forum Friday night . Most of the fans were not teenagers , but people in their 30 ’ s and 40 ’ s with their own kids in there arms . Lighters held up high flickering on and off . In the mid 1980 ’ s Bon Jovi was seen in tight leather pants , colorful scarves , ripped shirts , big hair and eyeliner and that was the norm . Their live performances is what made them famous on MTV with hits like “ Runaway ”, “ You give love a bad name ” and “ Wanted dead or alive ”. Last year they came out with “ Have a nice day ” the name of this tour and their # 9 album . The music has gone thru some subtle changes in the past two decades but it still follows the formula that made the band a success in the first place : crunching hard-rock . Oh yeah the best part , Jon Bon Jovi !! He was a hottie back in the eighties , but he is even hotter now . I waited over 20 years to see him , at 3 feet away
from the stage , it was all definetly worth the wait .
Passion , energy , and emotion !
By : Shea Williams Music can evoke all of these into your heart if applied correctly and Steven Tyler lays it on thick . Aerosmith live at the St . Pete Times Forum on the night of January 17th proved to be “ Amazing ”. From the first song “ Helter Skelter ”, to watching Steven sip his bottle of Coca-Cola side stage , I was hypnotized . This band delivers everything that you could want in a musical experience , instrumental magicians and a voice coming from the lips of one of the sexiest men on earth . Each song was delivered as if it were on fire , wild and consuming . It is as if for that moment , when Aerosmith takes the stage , they become one man , no , one Deity of rock having gelled all of their individual talents . Like a muse at midnight , Steven Tyler prowled the stage in his uniform of gypsy chic couture , and signature draping scarf on the microphone stand . His hair hung wildly about his face , as if it too , was so moved by his performance that it wanted to dance about feverishly on his head . Among the songs performed , I took special fondness to “ cryin ’”, which , I have to admit was exactly what I was doing as Steven sang . It was moving how Aerosmith gave me , pitch by pitch exactly what I sing to on the radio . Now that is a good live performance . Well I think that a question was answered that night at the Forum a question that has been asked more and more lately .... Is rock and Roll really dead ? The answer .... “ Dream On ”.
