In July 2001, Bon Jovi was riding high on the success of their album 'Crush,' which had been released just a year prior in 2000. This was quite a pivotal moment in their career, marking a powerful comeback after the relative lull of the '90s. The live recording of 'Bed of Roses' at Giants Stadium showcases their vibrant energy and the loyal fanbase that had been rekindled by hits like 'It's My Life.' Performing in their home state added an extra layer of emotion, as fans embraced the genuine rock vibe of the band. Interestingly, 'Crush' was their first album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, proving once again that Bon Jovi’s appeal transcends generations, capturing both long-time fans and new listeners alike.
