Bon Jovi came, saw and rocked Bucharest

From Business Review:

Although a concert venue no longer omitted by major artists, Romania still has a lot of catching up to do on what concerns the legends of the last decades. Bon Jovi’s arrival to Bucharest was therefore long overdue, but it was sure worth the wait, since the American band brought everything that one would expect from performers of their caliber and much, much more! Over 50,000 attended the July 10 concert and sang together to the likes of “Bed of Roses”, “Always” or “Livin’ on a Prayer” in front of what once used to be a symbol of communism, but now became a symbol of freedom, the People’s House.

Bon Jovi took to the stage right on time, right before the audience became too anxious. There were people there who had come early in the morning just so as to get closer to the band, in spite of the scorching heat (there were over 40 degrees Celsius at the location, and the asphalt only made the situation worse). The band started their performance with Raise Your Hands and You Give Love a Bad Name quickly followed. Nobody really cared about the heat anymore since Jon Bon Jovi promised to bring the temperature even higher, a promise that he and his band stuck to until the end.

The most memorable part of the evening came however when Jon Bon Jovi took a Romanian flag from the audience and put it on his back, which brought his “brothers and sisters”, as he addressed the public, into ecstasy. Speaking of the audience, there were people in their twenties to 30/40-somethings (even 50), who in spite of their daily jobs, as perhaps holders of key positions in certain companies, acted out as teenagers watching their idols perform for the first time.
