Bon Jovi Play Two Intimate Shows Despite Blizzard
. Bon Jovi took the stage to cheers and applause from the small snow-bound crowd at the Connecticut casino, launching right into the band's first number one hit, You Give Love a Bad Name. "So what do you think?" Jon Bon Jovi, asked a cheering crowd about what was supposed to be the band's final rehearsal before kicking off the multi-city Because We Can world tour the following night in the same arena at Mohegan Sun. Blizzard and hazardous travel conditions would prove to be too much for concert officials, who decided to postpone the public Saturday show. But for the approximately 2,000 fans who had arrived at the casino's hotel prior to the statewide mandatory travel ban in Connecticut, Bon Jovi would not disappoint. The band played an impromptu free show Saturday evening at 5pm for everyone stranded in the Mohegan Sun complex, guests and employees alike. "You gotta be really big to do matinees," Jon Bon Jovi told the hastily assembled crowd in the Mohegan Sun Arena. "Welcome to what is the first show, or the last rehearsal of the What About Now tour. You'll be able to say 'I was there.'" more. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
