Bon Jovi Performs Live at Seattle Center Coliseum - 2nd Night; Seattle 1987
Venue: Brendan Byrne Arena
Location: East Rutherford, New Jersey, United States
Date: December 31, 1986
In the late '80s, Bon Jovi was riding high on the success of their album 'Slippery When Wet,' which had dropped just months before the Seattle concert in January 1987. This album catapulted them into super-stardom, featuring iconic tracks like 'Livin’ on a Prayer' and 'You Give Love a Bad Name.' The live recording captures a vibrant moment in their career when they were appealing to packed arenas and becoming a defining force in rock music. Interestingly, this was a time when frontman Jon Bon Jovi was grappling with vocal strain, which he later opened up about. The video gives fans a snapshot of the band during a pivotal phase, just as they were becoming household names and solidifying their place in rock history.
