Bon Jovi Live from Yokohama Stadium performing Lay Your Hands On Me

Venue: Yokohama Stadium Location: Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan Date: May 19, 1996

In May 1996, Bon Jovi was riding high on the success of their album "These Days," which had been released the previous year. This live recording from Yokohama Stadium perfectly captures the band's energy and evolving sound during a period when they were navigating the changing tides of rock music. At this point in their career, Bon Jovi was shifting from their glam metal roots towards a more mature rock sound, and "These Days" reflected that transition. Interestingly, the band had also started to explore deeper lyrical themes, distancing themselves from the youthful bravado of their earlier hits. This concert showcased their engagement with fans in Japan, demonstrating their global appeal. The setlist featured songs like 'Lay Your Hands On Me,' underscoring their ability to connect deeply through powerful anthems and emotive performances.
