First European date for the Lost Highway Tour. Beautiful day for this concert.
7 PM: Support Act: Gianna Nannini. A famous singer in Italy. Special but not so bad. She jumped everywhere and was very energetic ! Well I didn't understand what she said as she sings in Italian... but she did a good job to warm up the crowd. They stayed on stage for about about 30-45 min.
8 PM: Everybody's watching the stage, waiting for Bon Jovi.
8.15 PM: Lights down, the intro is on and the band enter the stage! Fans are jumping, clapping, screaming, we're all ready to rock.
The concert was awesome as usual. I've never been disappointed with them.
A good setlist and a 2h15 show !

It feels so good to see them again on stage!

Second date Munchen Saturday 24th May: The second home for Bon Jovi, that's what Jon said at the concert.
But before the show, on Friday, there was an one hour autograph session at 5 PM with Bon Jovi's drummer Tico Torres in a big store in Munchen.
It was to promote the collection "Rock Star Baby"
As it was the day just after Gelsenkirchen concert we had to hurry to catch our trains and arrive on time and we made it :D
We arrived at about 3 PM, made the line and got our signs and words with Mr Torres! He was so nice and it was very cool to see him so close. Very good experience.
Finally: Saturday came. Bon Jovi in the big Olympic stadium in Munchen.
I had never been there but always wanted to because their shows are always special there. The stadium is amazing and what an atmosphere!
It's defenitely their second home !
The show was absolutely fantastic. They rocked for about 2h35 even if it rained a lot during one hour.
