Bon Jovi medley in Adelaide

Bon Jovi has arguably done "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" to death over the years, but this medley in the middle of that song was easily one of the most fun moments of the tour. Great to see the band cut loose in Adelaide, a city they hadn't visited in 18 years.

The video features:

• Start Me Up
• Great Balls of Fire with David Bryan on lead vocals and keys
• Dancing in the Street with Hugh McDonald on lead vocals and bass
• Wipe Out featuring Tico Torres
• You Shook Me All Night Long with Phil X on lead vocals and guitar

Phil X joins the "brotherhood" + Bon Jovi Melbourne videos

At last night's end-of-year crew party, Phil X and photographer David Bergman both received the Slippery When Wet medallion, which is awarded to people who serve two Bon Jovi world tours. I think you usually have to be on the whole tour to get the medallion, but it's safe to say Phil has gone above and beyond what was expected of a fill-in, first in May 2011 and now for almost all of 2013.



Meanwhile, here are some videos I captured from Melbourne. I thought someone on the floor might have a better version of these but if they've uploaded them, I haven't stumbled across them yet. These ones are from the second night (December 8).

I also got That's What the Water Made Me and the full I'll Sleep When I'm Dead medley (featuring Jumpin' Jack Flash, Great Balls of Fire sung by David Bryan, and Run Run Rudolph) from the first night (December 7).

Bon Jovi's YouTube channel also uploaded a pro-shot video of "Lost Highway" from the first night.

Bon Jovi Tokyo set list 4/12/13 + Phil X sings AC/DC

Bon Jovi continued on to Tokyo on their Because We Can tour, with David Bryan and Phil X again getting a bit of extra (deserved) spotlight. Phil sang AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" during the Sleep medley in what was likely to be a preview of the upcoming Australian shows.
