Kristen's In and Out of Love with Bon Jovi Page

"Gonna live while I'm alive
and Sleep When I'm Dead"

That's generally been my motto when it comes to Bon Jovi! I've seen them live 45 times, all over the Northeast and in Canada. (If you ever have a chance to see a concert in Montreal or Toronto, GO!! Those are 2 of the best shows I've ever seen.) I've made some great friends because of the band and we've done some crazy stuff together. For example, we saw 3 shows in 24 hours...they were in Pittsburgh, Providence, and Boston respectively, and we drove! Finally, the band has released a new album, Crush, and once again is rockin' all over the world! Tour dates have been announced for Europe this spring and America has been promised more Jovi in 2001.

Here are some pictures from my Jovi adventures.
(Please note: To the best of my knowledge, these pictures were all taken by me. Many people have given me pictures over the years...I've tried to keep them all straight. If any of these pictures belong to you, let me know and I will remove it or give you credit on this page for taking it.)

Jon in Providence
This was taken August 3, 1993 outside of WHJY in Providence, RI. That's me in the background, that's as close as I'll ever get to my picture with Jon! I'm looking down at the BJ comic book he signed for me. More Jon
This is also outside HJY. I should also mention that the DJ made total fools out of my friends and I, she told us the more outrageous we were, the more of a chance she may bring us in the studio when Jon was in there. We fell for it, it was broadcast all over SE New England, and we didn't get in. The DJs were talking about us "bimbos" for months to come.

August 4, 1993, Nashua, NH. This place was too funny. It looked like a little league baseball field! We had second row for this concert, now I understand why it was so easy to get! This was also the day that I started to become good friends with Melanie, who corrupted my brain when it came to all things Jovi!
This is the Red Bank, NJ Christmas show in 1994. That was the year they did the Christmas tour. I went to Boston and Pittsburgh also, but this show was my favorite. My seat was really close and about 20 of my friends were all within shouting distance.

Richie at the....would someone please tell me which Count Basie Christmas Show this is?! I believe it was '96, unfortunately, the last Christmas Benefit show the guys have done. I think it is high time to bring back this tradition!
Jon at the Kiss 108 van outside of the now defunct Mama Kin Music Hall in Boston. The station made a huge secret out of the date of the show (August 7, 1997), and tickets were for contest winners only. My friends and I found out the date through the BJ fan club, "crashed" the show, and were let in by radio station employees.

When the show was over that day, we had to leave before the actual contest winners did, so they could get their T shirts or whatever. While they were all inside, we got to say bye to Jon and Hugh, and we got T shirts anyway.
Richie released his second solo album, Undiscovered Soul on March 3, 1997. He made a stop on the Letterman show to let the world know! Here he is on the way in. You can't see it here, but he is wearing a beautiful burnout velvet shirt and black velvet overcoat.

January 31, 1997, Bon Jovi particiapated in a benefit show for the family ofSgt. Patrick King, a NJ Police officer who was killed in the line of duty. Also on the incredible bill were Bruce, Southside Johnny, and Little Steven. The event was emceed by Danny Devito. Here's the encore.

More pictures will come as I find them to scan them!
