If you’re the sort of person who keeps track of such things, you’ll know that this tune won the band their only Grammy Award (for Best Country Collaboration). Nettles was in her usual fine voice as the group took several no-frills passes through the hit, and she remained on stage for the final component of Bon Jovi’s Grammy Moment: a song-to-be-named-later, which is being voted on as we speak by You, The Fans. I can tell you the three songs practiced today were “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “It’s My Life,” and “Always,” so don’t forget to vote if you want to put your favorite over the top.
