Bon Jovi

In late 1986, Bon Jovi was in the midst of skyrocketing fame with their album "Slippery When Wet" released just prior in August of that year. This album catapulted them into the rock stratosphere, featuring iconic hits like "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Livin' on a Prayer." The live recording at the Capital Centre captures a vibrant snapshot of the band just as they were breaking into super stardom. Interestingly, their energetic performance and Peter Frampton’s opening act, alongside the burgeoning presence of glam metal at the time, exemplify the cultural backdrop of that era. The band's charismatic frontman, Jon Bon Jovi, was especially noteworthy, captivating audiences with his infectious energy. The Largo show not only highlights their extensive fan base but also marks a pivotal moment in rock history, bridging the gap between the band's early days and their legendary status.
