It's all the same

Only the names will change,
Every day, it seems we're wasting away.
...
I'm a cowboy on a steel horse I ride,
I'm wanted, dead or alive.

There's a shortlist of music bands whose concert I wouldn't miss if given chance. Bon Jovi belongs to the group. Song "Dead or alive" reminds me on the days I started driving my father's car, and even after that period, it's always been easy for me to find myself in this song, one way or another.

I've been to Munich a month ago, and I hadn't known that the concert was gonna be there at the same time. But when I found out they're coming to Zurich, there was no way I was gonna miss it. :)


And I haven't really been to many gigs of this size, but this is by far the best one. Needless to say that his voice was amazing and the sound system was awesome. It all made a perfect experience to me. He sang mostly their greatest hits, and there is so many of them, I don't wanna count, but, for 2h30min, there were only 2-3 songs I hadn't heard before. He was also quite cool, having fun his way with the audience. And the audience, well, it's another interesting aspect. It was all mixed up, from younger people in mid-twenties to older couples who I guess used to listen to them even 25 years ago. This is very different from Serbia, where not so many older folks would go to a rock concert.

The gig brought lots of emotions in me, not that I only singed and enjoyed great music, but whole bunch of different feelings merged in my head, from love, pride, sorrow, joy. In the end it was nothing but happiness for being able to attend such a spectacle. I was singing and dancing all along and had funky great time. One of the highlights was during the song "Superman tonight" with all these people, and especially the last person. Please make sure you watch the video to the far end. This rocks me for sure. And it's not the only one, many of their songs have very direct meaning as they're trying to influence the people to bring outside what's the best from the inside.



Organizationwide, it was perfect, high frequency of public transport, no waiting at the entrance, many places to get food/drinks. Pretty cool. What I didn't expect is to see people re-selling the tickets in front. And actually it was possible to get a good deal over there.

Here you can see the whole staduim calling them to come back to the stage with their arms in the sky. Sorry for not so good sound/video quality, but I just couldn't sneak in a decent camera. At least I can bring here some of the memorable moments and I'm sure you can get a nice feeling how it was.





Wanted - dead or alive. Sorry, you can hear one loud idiot who can't sing :) at some moments, but then - you can really feel how it all seemed to me.





Thanks for reading and
Have a nice day
