Bon Jovi

In the live recording of "Born To Be My Baby" at the Tokyo Dome on December 31, 1988, Bon Jovi was riding high on the success of their album "New Jersey," released just a few months prior, in September of that same year. This album featured a string of hits that solidified the band's rock star status, including "Bad Medicine" and "I'll Be There for You." Interestingly, their performance reflects a peak moment in their career, showcasing their electrifying stage presence and the fervent energy of a Japanese audience. This recording not only captures the essence of the late '80s rock scene but also highlights how Bon Jovi was transitioning from their earlier sound towards a more polished, arena rock identity. It's amazing to witness the band's evolution in this explosive performance!
