ITV Taping
One of my Jovi Friends, Neurotica, was lucky enough to get a ticket to yesterday's ITV taping in London. She blogged the experience on her blog.
A couple highlights:
nice surprise of the night. An acoustic set in middle of crowd. Crew brought it in two chairs to the part of stage that extends into the crowd. Two mics were set. Jon with his Takamine (my second favorite inanimate object), Rich with his double neck guitar. Richie was having technical difficulty with his ear piece:
Richie: I have mic, but I don’t have ears (he said to tech)
Jon: they are on the side of your head
Then the magical Prayer started. I’ve heard this song a million times. Saw it live in many renditions (nothing beats the stompy start in my book lol)... but it never ceases to send chills down my spine and this time it was no different... WELLLLLL that is until Jon f'd up the song: “Tommy used to work on the docks... he got his string in hock...” stops and looks at Richie saying he f'd up the song, then looks at crowd and says I swear we were good at soundcheck
A really great read, she has a way with words -- check it out!

A good read, thanks for sharing the experience with us! Lucky you! Too funny with the comment about the ears. I'm with you on This is Love, This is Life - LOVE LOVE LOVE that song!!
