REVIEW: Bon Jovi Rocks Kansas City, MO and I Was There!! April 17, 2008
I saw Bon Jovi at home in Vancouver, BC back in December ’07 and next to Springsteen's 1984 marathon, it was almost as good, playing at just shy of three hours. The guys recorded three of their biggest albums in Vancouver so their show in my hometown was very special because of all the back-stories and memories they shared of those earlier days.
So when I made plans to visit John "Bynkii" Welch and his beautiful wife Mel in Kansas City, MO, I was excited to pick a time that coincided with Bon Jovi dates in KC.

Went to the 2nd show as well - Apr 22/08!!
Just editing some video and more pics (sound is bad cuz being so close - ROW 4 ON THE FLOOR! - I was catching the drum thumping in my chest so much) and will post over the weekend.
In the meantime to whet your appetites (especially the ladies out there), here's one of the major highlights of the show: Jon Bon Jovi singing Shout w/Bad Medicine....we end up with a very buff, very nice bare-chested JBJ. It was a beautiful thing. (I was just to the right of the person who took this video.)
After the song was over, he says "I'm getting too old to be showing my boobies in public". Uh, Jon, from where I was standing, no, no you're not. In fact you should do it more and often. ;-)
Enjoy!

p.s. Also saw him strolling the streets in the Country Club Plaza area of Kansas City, MO while Mel and I were having lunch. (If we hadn't eaten such a yummy full meal, we probably would have put in a little more effort in trying to track him down.) ;-) So definitely a most excellent Bon Jovi time in KC! ;-)
