Well woo hoo. Prime example of stating my position in my radio thread. Sorry just not my cup of tea.

If so I'm so there. They do have a new album comin out soon so they're prolly goin on tour in the fall.

Post by **Brad** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 11:17 pm

Yeah, I think thats what sparked the rumor.

Harpoon · Post by **Harpoon** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 10:56 pm

Wow, that would just be fantastic to draw a band that was popular 15 years ago. Maybe we can get Right Said Fred, Kenny Loggins or 38 Special to make an appearance too.

Any list that has Hillary Duff in the top 30 is a big joke.

omahapropertymanager · Sat Jul 23, 2005 9:12 am

I agree that a lot of the older bands still draw, but shouldn't Bon Jovi be playing Harrahs or Bluffs Run Casino?

Ingersoll1978 · Post by **Ingersoll1978** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 9:31 am

Bon Jovi did have a successful single and album a couple of years ago.

No subjectivity here... those rankings are based on gross tour revenue in millions of dollars.

I saw Stevie Nicks but not Fleetwood Mac. Surprises me.

Yeah, I had to laugh. A couple of years ago my 14 year old daughter thought he was new. I think he would draw big from all ages. I have never thought of Bon Jovi as has been.

eomaha · Post by **eomaha** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 5:41 pm

My daughter has a similar problem... thinking numerous remakes from the 70's/80's are original music done by her favorite contemporary bands.

Note that the concert in Chicago in January isn't sold out yet...

JHuston, what is the significance of the other numbers from the list?

Linkin5 · Post by **Linkin5** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 10:30 pm

First set of numbers-rankings
second set of numbers-gross tour revenue (millions)
third set of numbers-average ticket cost

eomaha · Post by **eomaha** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 10:34 pm

Thanks Linkin.

Finn · Post by **Finn** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 10:39 pm

Thanks. I assume this is international tour data. I saw Van Morrison in NY last fall (excellent show) and I know he only did a few US shows.

Same face is in rotation on the QC's daktronic's board at 10th & Capitol. I'd say this can be moved out of Rumors. Bon Jovi is coming to town.

Edited to add that apparently a new Bon Jovi world tour is to begin in October.

If he wouldn't have come it would have been like getting shot through the heart. Did anyone see that SNL skit with Bon Jovi and Sombora auditioning the dancers?

I wondered about that. the last schedule i looked at had them at des moines on nov 2nd or something like that.

We bought our "Pre-Sale" tickets tonight and all the good ones are gone, but we still got decent ones!

Jet915 · Post by **Jet915** » Wed Oct 26, 2005 6:53 pm

If anyone is still interested in going to the concert (sold out), I have two tickets in the lower level (sec 113). I can no longer go to the concert. I'll sell them for how much I paid for the pair ($199). Just pm me if interested, thanks!
