Bon Jovi

In June 1986, Bon Jovi was riding high off the success of their self-titled debut album, which hit shelves just two years earlier in 1984. At this point, the band was gaining massive traction, especially with their hit single 'Runaway' having claimed its place in rock history. The live performance captured in Newcastle not only showcased their electrifying stage presence but also marked a moment when they were still establishing their identity in the rock scene. Interestingly, this recording offers a glimpse into a pivotal era for Bon Jovi, where they were still on the cusp of international fame. Just a few months later, they would release their landmark album "Slippery When Wet," pushing them to superstardom. It’s thrilling to witness such raw energy before they fully blossomed into rock legends!
