Some help for a "Just Older" fan...

Okay....here goes. This is where I make a complete fool of myself.
I've started scanning my old photo albums & pictures. I came across these concert pics and have absolutely no memory of it. So I thought I'd ask you guys if anything looks familiar - the stage or clothes or hair styles. To me, Richie's hair looks long & Jon's hair looks kinda short. I'm pretty sure I only saw them on the NJ tour in the 80's and then not until Bounce. I've racked my brain and come up empty.

I live in Philly, so it should be the Spectrum or the WAC ctr. The pics are smaller than 4x6 (with negatives) and, of course, no date anywhere. I thought maybe it was the Soul pep rally, but that would've been digital. The moving drum set feels a little familiar, but I'm still clueless.

So, if you wouldn't mind controlling your laughter & have pity long enough to look at these pictures. Any ideas of when this might've been would be appreciated. Thanks!

..it is Bon Jovi, right?

It's hard to tell in the pictures but based on your descriptions, I'd say These Days. 1995

It's really hard to tell, but the stage with the catwalks on both sides reminds me a lot tof the "In these arms" Video...you know when Jon is crawling on the floor..*sigh*...so, I would say Keep the Faith Tour. Would also explain Jon's short hair.

Hey Ro -

It looks like the KTF tour to me... stage setup, Richie's clothes, Jon's hair... they would have been in Philly in early 1993. I lived in Jersey at the time and remember them playing there, but I couldn't go because I was in the military and was scheduled to be TDY to Louisiana for a training exercise on the concert date (boy was I PISSED!).

Here's what I could find about that show:

KTF Tour - Spectrum, Philadelphia, Feb 22, 1993
Opening Act: Jeff Healy Band

Setlist:
Wild In The Streets
I'd Die For You
You Give Love A Bad Name
Born To Be My Baby
Can't Help Falling In Love, Jon "officiates" wedding ceremony
Bed Of Roses
Keep The Faith
Blood Money
Blaze Of Glory
Lay Your Hands On Me
In These Arms
Blood On Blood
Bad Medicine ~ Shout
Wanted Dead Or Alive
Livin' On A Prayer
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
Never Say Goodbye

I remember hearing about the wedding ceremony on the news....

Any of this ring a bell?

Hope it helped!

Ain't YouTube great? ;D

wow thanks for the photos and information

[rodajoky]

Thanks everyone....It must be the '93 concert. I can't believe I'm having so much trouble remembering it. God, it sucks getting old.

Great youtube video, Catte...thanks! You'd think I'd remember Jon dancing with all those fans too. I'm beginning to think I was abducted by aliens & they erased my memory.
