Bon Jovi

In the summer of 1987, Bon Jovi was riding high after the success of their third studio album, 'Slippery When Wet,' which had dropped just a year prior. This live recording at BC Place in Vancouver showcases the band's explosive energy during their 'Slippery When Wet' tour, a period when they truly became rock icons. It's fascinating to note that this concert captured the peak of their popularity, with hit singles like 'Livin' on a Prayer' and 'You Give Love a Bad Name' blasting through the speakers. An interesting tidbit: the recording emerged years later, thanks to a clever non-union cameraman who took the footage home and, after many years, connected with a fan to transfer the tape. It’s a charming reminder of how music and memories intertwine, wouldn’t you agree?
