Bon Jovi Concert Oklahoma City 4/15/08

Last December during my office Christmas party each employee got to choose a Christmas present from the company. There were all sorts of great gifts. I had a hard time trying to choose between a beautiful Coach bag and a pair of Bon Jovi tickets. Well I decided on the tickets and now I know I made the right choice. The concert was last night. By bosses, Neal and Vicki, took Lucas and I and their friends Scott and Amy out to dinner at Bourbon Street before the concert. I had been there a couple of times before, but not in quite a while. The food was good and it was a nice atmosphere. The thing we noticed most was that there were tons of tables with only girls at them. Bricktown was packed with people going to the concert.

After dinner we headed over to the Ford Center for the concert. We got there right on time because we were barely in our seats before Daughtry came on. We were in Section 201. It's in the club level section (2nd tier) of the Ford Center. We were center with the stage, just far back. Daughtry was good, but kind of hard to get into because they didn't have any screens where you could see their faces. (And oh would I have loved to get a good look at Chris Daughtry!!)You'll notice the pictures that are just a band and no screens, those are of Daughtry. Daughtry played about 45 mintues and then Bon Jovi came on.

Bon Jovi was so awesome. Lucas and I danced and sang along to most of the songs. We laughed a lot, danced a ton and took lots of video and pictures. The most amazing thing was how great Jon Bon Jovi looks. He has so much energy and stamina and their music is still so fresh. I can still feel the music in my veins!!! Oh it was awesome...

I'm attaching the pictures I took in a slide show and then all the videos are below. In some of the videos you can hear me singing along... Sorry if that ruins it for you!!

Thanks for letting me share!!
