Wanted Wednesday: PuppyVille!

Please rise, for the singing of our national anthem...

PUPPYVILLE!

Yep,I'm lost in PuppyVille. I stumbled across a boatload of bootlegs from way back when, and have been lost in the magic of what I missed out on by being a tween in the 80's. I have a bunch of goodies for you, and really all I can say is, I wish I was older back then, and could have seen them live when they were just coming into their own.

Yes, yes, they toured before 1987, I'm well aware of that, it's just that once Slippery hit and became HUGE, that's really when, in my opinion, they became BON JOVI, in all capital letters ;)

Up first, August 14th, 1986: Osaka Japan. Wanted opened the Encore of this show. The sound on this one is a bit hollow, and goes wonky loud and muted (I wonder where the recorder was standing) but you don't get all the crowd noise.





Second, Liverpool, November 20. Much better sound on this one, though in Jon's voice, you can hear the strain on some of the "should be stronger" notes. Makes me want to fetch him a nice hot cup of tea with honey. Maybe hold the tea :)





Third, Melbourne, September 9, 1987. One of those loooong intros I jones for. Great sound quality too.





And because people ROCK, we can see a performance from back in the day, here. Thanks PabloBonJovi!!

Detroit, May 26 1987, Joe Luis Arena



I have the audio boot for this show, but the tracks are cut up all messy. Halfway through the song, there's a track cut. I'm going to have to paste it all together and re-cut it, but it's WAY down the list of things to get done.

Now, there's no rhyme or reason to the puppy versions I picked for this week -- these are just the ones I was listening to lately.

Hope you find one you like!
