Bon Jovi in Brisbane 6/12/18

I know this post is much later than usual, but on the day that I would've posted it (December 7), I caught up with some friends who were doing the whole Bon Jovi Australian tour and met Phil X. And then the day after (December 8) was the day of the Sydney concert, which I was attending (and yes, that post is late as well). And the day after that (December 9) I was flying home to Perth.

Anyway, Bon Jovi's Brisbane show brought some more surprises with it, including the tour debut of "Last Man Standing".

Richie Sambora Australian interview

Richie Sambora was interviewed by the Courier-Mail ahead of tonight's solo show at the Tivoli in Brisbane. He spoke about leaving the Bon Jovi tour and what fans can expect from his shows in Australia.

You can listen to the interview here:


If you're heading to the Tivoli tonight, you will also have the chance to enter a lottery to meet Richie Sambora after the show:

Hello, BRISBANE!! Psyched for tonight’s RICHIE SAMBORA show at THE TIVOLI? We know you are.
But how would you like to MEET RICHIE SAMBORA?
Here’s the deal in 8 easy steps…

1) Head over to The Tivoli. Doors open at 7:30pm.

2) Present your ticket.

3) Once you’re inside the venue, head over to the MERCHANDISE BOOTH where you’ll grab a LOTTERY TICKET (first come, first served.) And hey, grab a t-shirt or two while you’re at it!

4) Enjoy the show (remember — no opening act so you need to get there on time because it’s all Richie from about 8:15 onwards!)

5) After the show, RETURN TO THE MERCHANDISE BOOTH.
The WINNING LOTTERY NUMBERS WILL BE POSTED.

6) IF YOU’RE HOLDING A WINNING TICKET, REMAIN AT THE BOOTH.
The winners (4 in total, plus their guests) will be greeted by a representative from RICHIE SAMBORA’s TOUR STAFF.

7) WINNERS (and their guests) will be escorted by this TOUR STAFFER backstage.

8) WINNERS meet RICHIE SAMBORA! And hell yes! You can take a photo with him! (Tweet it, post it, share it…)

So, to recap the plan: get to The Tivoli early, head to the merch stand, grab a lottery ticket, enjoy a kickass rock ‘n’ roll show, then return to the merch booth after the show to see if you’re holding on of the winning lottery tickets to meet The King Of Swing!

Good Luck & Enjoy The Show!

Brisbane set list

A pretty busy day for Bon Jovi today, with the boys down in Sydney for the Oprah taping before travelling back up to Brisbane for this show (although the flight is only about an hour and a half). It was Bon Jovi's first gig in Brizzy since 2002's Rumba festival, and the first proper concert there since 1995.

The PBP was incomplete, so thanks to Despina76 for the setlist. She also heard that Richie had a problem with his guitar at the beginning of "Wanted"... Is there anyone who attended the show who can shed some light on that?
