@@harryking9674Yes 70's to. Boston, Elton, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac man I was born in 1970 and by the time I could walk and talk I was jumping off our couch onto the pillows on the floor doing front flips to all my Mother's 45's dam wish we could go back and do again then the 80's came a lot of good bands like 'The Car's, Madonna The Cure that's when the Girls started happening ! 👍
The 80s were the best and American bandstand was a great show and never missed it. What a treasure and thank you RU-vid and technology. This is with Bon Jovi back in the day! Love you, Dick Clark, and rest in peace and love you, Bon Jovi and the gang still rockin! ❤
I was a senior in 1984 and I can't count how many times I've seen them live! Love that Jon serves his community after all his success! I dated a guy who was a few years older, played guitar in a band and he had Bon Jovi hair, lol! Man those were the days!
1984 I was 15 going on 16 what an awesome time looking at this ugly world that we live in now can I go back to 1980 and it's relive it all over and stay there
But he was the one who coined Steve Perry as ‘the Voice’. Jon was humble enough about his talent to be able and willing to praise others. Admirable of him.
Getting signed to a major label, having hit radio songs, going on world tours, videos being shown on MTV & performing on Dick Clark’s “American Bandstand”…Wow!!!
He toured with the Scorpions that summer (‘84) as their warmup band. I got to see him when he played in Charlevoix, Michigan. Absolutely ELECTRIC. He almost stole the show. We had close seats too! Back then you could get concert tickets for $12-15. Good times!!!
I love how Jon said that his band is opening up for The Scorpions. Who knew that just a few years later Bon Jovi would be the headliner band? I also like how Jon introduced David by his real name, David Rashbaum.
Mark Goodman was talking about how funny this is on Sirius today so I had to look it up. Great album. I was in Jr High when this album came out. Saw them twice in 89 with Skid Row.
You were listening to the same show I was I was doing my UPS route when I heard the same thing that’s why I came here to check it out. Nothing really funny that I saw though.
@@user-dp1kf8xh7r true, I really liked them and still do. I thought this was awesome, other than it being not live, lip syncing at its best, and not a cord plugged in for the guitars or mic, but hey, that was the awesome 80's.
“She Don’t Know me” was actually my first fav song by BJ. Found out later it’s one of if not the only song Jon and the band didn’t write?? I can’t remember if they played it when they opened up for the Scorpions but I know I haven’t heard it played live after that? I’m going out on a limb and saying these two songs on AB were 100% lip synced. I’m so glad they left that behind as that’s when Jon’s voice was incredible! I hope this cutting edge surgery he had on his chords helped him. I know he was pretty upset but Father Time gets even the best singers.”
After hearing their hit song Runaway on the radio I went out and bought the cassette tape which I still have to this day. Also while at work back in 83 I was the fourth caller to my local radio station and won two tickets to see them perform live at a night club on US 1 in NJ just as they were starting their career. Forgot the name of the club but it was a great time. Miss the 80's!
Ha this made me smile...sum great memories!! Saw them in concert several times, and they rocked tha house! Wish I could go back...the clothes, the big hair, the bad azz fast cars and the music!🤘
Great footage. I was 12 yrs old at this time and fully in to MTV. I bought this album that same year, but somehow missed this AB appearance. Great to watch!
Nothing but raw talent and wanted it I was getting ready in two years to start my first band I copied everything he did the hairstyle clothes the sound he signed me a microphone I was the frontman and Ritchie signed me a strat guitar still a huge fan but I didn't make it but it awesome fun wish I could have made it
Seems like forever ago. Yet it brings me back like it was yesterday. ~ I will forever love you Bon Jovi. My very early teenage years when I was just becoming women. Jon Bon Jovi was my first true love, although he never quite knew it. lol But that young girl turned into a women one day and she got to meet him and the band. Yes, that was me and it was the highlight of my entire life. Never will forget these amazing memories and all the concerts I want to. ~ Forever in my heart. 🩷
La magia de Jon,desde el principio,el lider de Bon Jovi,el todo , con su calida voz y esa belleza incomparable...... Maravilloso Jon Bon Jovi ,te amo desde siempre❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So great.....Back when they used to be a band and brotherhood....Not Jon's political Springsteen wanna be machine with "HIS BAND" . First 3 albums were all for one, one for all. Then it just became all about Jon and his push to soften a great rock band.
