Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer Live Performance at Tokyo Dome

Venue: Tokyo Dome Location: Tokyo, Japan Date: November 30, 1987

In the electrifying live performance of "Livin' On A Prayer" captured at the Tokyo Dome on November 30, 1987, Bon Jovi was riding high on the success of their breakthrough album, "Slippery When Wet." Released just a few months earlier in August 1986, this album catapulted the band into superstardom, with hits like "You Give Love a Bad Name" and, of course, "Livin' On A Prayer" itself, becoming anthems of the era. Interestingly, this concert showcased Bon Jovi at the peak of their momentum, just before their legendary 1988 world tour, which solidified their status in rock history. Considered one of the definitive tracks of the 80s, "Livin' On A Prayer" was co-written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, reflecting the band's knack for blending catchy melodies with relatable lyrics. It's a moment that not only conveys the band's vibrant energy but also encapsulates a transformative period in rock music.
