Bon Jovi in Denver 14/03/18 + How Hugh McDonald became a Rock Hall inductee

It's been almost six months since Bon Jovi were last on the road for their This House Is Not For Sale Tour. The band kicked off this leg of the tour in Denver, to make up for last year's scheduled show which got postponed then cancelled. Here's what was played:

Denver, CO, USA - Pepsi Center - March 14, 2018

1. This House is Not For Sale
2. Knockout
3. You Give Love a Bad Name
4. Whole Lot of Leavin'
5. Lost Highway
6. When We Were Us 
7. Born to Be My Baby
8. Who Says You Can't Go Home
9. It's My Life
10. We Weren't Born to Follow
11. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
12. We Got it Going on
13. Keep the Faith
14. Amen 
15. Bed of Roses
16. Lay Your Hands on Me
17. God Bless This Mess
18. Have a Nice Day
19. Bad Medicine
    
    Encore:
20. I Love This Town 
21. Wanted Dead or Alive
22. Livin' on a Prayer

While the band has played "When We Were Us" twice before, this marked its debut as part of a tour. It was also the first time "Amen" and "I Love This Town" have been played since the Because We Can Tour in 2013. I'd personally hoped the latter had been put to bed for good, but obviously not. 😛

Bon Jovi's next stop is Utah, where Hugh McDonald and his wife Kelli live. The Deseret News published an article about Huey ahead of the concert; it talks about Hugh's history with Jon and how Jon pushed for Hugh to be inducted into the Rock Hall with Bon Jovi:

“Jon was good enough at Christmastime to surprise me by sending me a framed copy of the email that he sent to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, telling them my history in the band over the years and that I deserved to be in with them. I can’t even explain how much it means to me,” McDonald said with audible emotion.

The story of how Hugh winged it as Poison bassist for a night is also discussed. Read the full article at this link.
