Bon Jovi

In 2011, Bon Jovi was riding high on the waves created by their 2007 album, "Lost Highway," which marked a shift in their sound, blending country elements with classic rock. By the time they performed "Blaze of Glory" at Hyde Park, they'd been a mainstream force for decades. This live recording captures the essence of their enduring appeal and energy, especially notable as "Blaze of Glory" is from Jon Bon Jovi's solo album tied to the "Young Guns II" soundtrack. It’s interesting that this performance was part of the Hard Rock Calling festival, showcasing not just Bon Jovi's status, but also the warmth and excitement of a live audience in the iconic setting of Hyde Park. The band's ability to command a crowd and evoke nostalgia for hits spanning their prolific career makes this show a memorable highlight.
