I believe Bon Jovi is scheduled at 5 p.m. That might be central time, though. Enjoy! ;D

[Hath]

Hmmm, according to that website, Jovi isn't one of the bands they're simulcasting One can hope, though!

[lisamarie]

Here is a link with the schedule for Saturday. They are there!! I guess we just have to see if they are the band that is shown. Hope so!

Our boys are winning with 35%, second is The Dave Matthews Band at 27%. Hopefully they will keep the lead and y'all can watch( I'll be there, so I will keep my hopes up).

[lisamarie]

Keep voting, people! We just might be in luck!!!

[Kris]

Ok, what time will they perform and is someone able to record it when they show it on the website?

[Rike]

they perform from 5pm to 7pm, its from midnight here in Germany. unfortunately I have nightshift tonight, so I can't try to record this. And it isn't sure they will webcast BJ

[Hath]

Da Boyz are up to 41%

[lisamarie]

I looked again and unfortunately it doesn't say that the voting is actually for the webcast. it really only asks who you would like to see more. Here is hoping they put them on!!

[Hath]

Yeah, I noticed that earlier *pout*
Oh well, I'd probably still be at work anyway and not really able to listen (I find the silver lining where I can)

[samborasgirl]

hmmm if I knew how to record it, and if Bon Jovi is on... I would stay up
so if there is anybody who knows HOW: TELL ME...please, pretty please?

[lisamarie]

Jovi has started and there is nothing on the feed. I am thinking we may not get anything.

Thank you soooo much for posting this......I've been battling with my computer to get it to work.
I got the video for the group before Jovi but no sound. So I closed it and have been trying to open it back up since with no luck. At least now I know it didn't miss it. Thanks again!

Bon Jovi delivers a fan-pleaser at Jazz Fest

My 40-year-old cousin has three children. A respectable job. A nice house on a nice lot in Madisonville. On Saturday, she left all that behind. From noon until 7 p.m., she planted herself against the barricade in front of the Acura Stage at Jazz Fest. Did not go to the bathroom. Did not get food or water (but did dispatch her husband to forage). Did not see the Gospel Tent or the Jazz Tent or any other tent or stage at the Fair Grounds.

Her mission was to reconnect with Bon Jovi, whom she last saw in person around 1988. The tens of thousands of folks standing behind her were on a similar mission.

At precisely 5 p.m., their patience was rewarded: The members of Bon Jovi strode onto the Acura Stage, preceded by a brass band.

To all those who fretted about Bon Jovi's karmic effect on the festival, take heart: The sky was not torn in two, the earth did not open up and swallow the stage. Jazz Fest, it seems, accommodated Bon Jovi just fine, along with a sea of humanity that rivaled that of the Dave Matthews Band in 2001, the biggest day in Jazz Fest history.

What they witnessed was Bon Jovi in all its 1980s arena rock glory: The sleeveless T-shirts. The biceps tattoos. The double bass drum rig. The talk-box guitar solos.

When was the last time a talk-box squawked at Jazz Fest?

Bon Jovi wasted no time, plunging in with "Livin' on a Prayer." Richie Sambora worked the talk-box tube and aced the song's solo. Frontman Jon Bon Jovi fired up a time machine, counting back the years to 1986 and "You Give Love a Bad Name." For "Raise Your Hands," tens of thousands obliged.

Bon Jovi has in recent years tried on Nashville for size. The mid-tempo anthem "Lost Highway" and "Summertime," a pleasant enough country-rocker, spoke to this experiment.

A consummate professional, the singer hit his marks. He acknowledged where he was with a cover of Gary U.S. Bonds' "New Orleans." On previous visits, Bon Jovi recalled, "You always left with a full belly and a smile on your face. You got a great thing here, and you should be proud."

He was gracious. "Thank you for finally inviting us to Jazz Fest," he said, giving a shout-out to the other performers. He tweaked/validated the "high-rollers" in the VIP seating areas. He noted the band's post-Katrina charitable efforts, which involved funding 28 new homes in Houma to the tune of $1 million. (If rumors about Bon Jovi's Jazz Fest fee are true, the band pretty much broke even.)

Around the one-hour mark, the set bogged down with mediocre anthems; "Keep the Faith" is not their finest hour, and "It's My Life" dragged a bit. Momentum rebounded with "Who Says You Can't Go Home." Bon Jovi recorded the country romp with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, who sang it Friday on the Acura Stage with her band. (Sugarland performed in Dallas Saturday, so a reunion with Bon Jovi was impossible.)

"Bad Medicine," the guiltiest of guilty pleasures, followed. Sambora worked his guitar's whammy bar as Bon Jovi ran a microphone up the neck. The singer broke out his version of James Brown' faux-finish: "I'm too old for this s---!" he said. "I'm 110 on the inside!"

As the band uncorked "Shout!," he hot-footed across the stage, not at all acting like a guy who is 110. "Wanted Dead or Alive," the Bon Jovi equivalent of the Eagles' "Desperado," opened the encore. The big finish? "Twist and Shout," complete with grunged-out guitar solo. At that moment, Bon Jovi was the world's highest-paid cover band.

Shake it up baby, indeed.

It was a curious choice for a finale. Ten minutes of allotted stage time remained, and they hadn't played "Runaway," their breakthrough hit.

Bon Jovi delivered exactly what was expected -- sell a ton of tickets, smile through the hits -- but little more. Earlier, the frontman sang, "I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked 'em all." It wasn't quite a million faces, but he did more or less rock them.

Okay, we must be psychically connected or something. The first thing I thought when I looked at that pic was that he doesn't have much hair in his armpits either! ;D

The second was that he needs new pants...and it's time for a different shirt. ;D

David's a hoot.

It was a great time and they may have been the world's most expensive cover band, but they were worth every moment of those 8 or 9 hours we were out in the sun sweltering to see them. Fiction Mistress can attest to that since we were together.
