Description:
One Wild Night? Well, that's not strictly true, as this live album was recorded on several different nights at a series of Bon Jovi concerts spanning three decades. But why be pedantic when the result is a live album that effectively doubles as a greatest hits collection? Bon Jovi's songs have always sounded tailor-made for stadiums and arenas and the choices here all sound bigger than life, from classic fists-in-the-air rockers ("Livin' On A Prayer", "Bad Medicine", "You Give Love A Bad Name", "Runaway") to lighters-in-the-air numbers ("Keep The Faith", "Wanted Dead Or Aliv
One Wild Night? Well, that's not strictly true, as this live album was recorded on several different nights at a series of Bon Jovi concerts spanning three decades. But why be pedantic when the result is a live album that effectively doubles as a greatest hits collection? Bon Jovi's songs have always sounded tailor-made for stadiums and arenas and the choices here all sound bigger than life, from classic fists-in-the-air rockers ("Livin' On A Prayer", "Bad Medicine", "You Give Love A Bad Name", "Runaway") to lighters-in-the-air numbers ("Keep The Faith", "Wanted Dead Or Alive", "Something To Believe In"). The career-re-launching single "It's My Life" sounds right at home here, as do two great cover versions: Neil Young's "Rockin' In The Free World" (recorded, appropriately enough, in Johannesburg in 1995) and the Boomtown Rats' "I Don't Like Mondays" (performed with Sir Bob Geldof). One Wild Night is the perfect companion piece to Bon Jovi's Best Of collection Crossroad, only this time, there's an audience. --Robert Burrow
