Bon Jovi

In April 1985, Bon Jovi was on the upswing of their career, hot off the heels of their breakthrough album '7800° Fahrenheit,' which had dropped just a year before. This live recording from Shibuya Koukaidou captures the band in a moment of raw energy, showcasing their explosive stage presence as they geared up for even greater success. Fun fact: during this time, Bon Jovi was solidifying their reputation as a powerhouse in the rock scene, especially in Japan, where the band was gaining a loyal following. The song 'Roulette' from '7800° Fahrenheit' exhibits their signature blend of hard rock and emotional lyrics, which resonated deeply with fans. This Tokyo show marked a significant period as they soon aimed to release their iconic album 'Slippery When Wet,' catapulting the band's fame into the stratosphere.
