Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena hosts the very biggest of shows that are brought to the city along with awards and special events such as the recent Randy Travis tribute but none have ever been bigger than Saturday’s (February 18) Bon Jovi concert.
The band, on the sixth stop of their “This House is Not For Sale Tour”, brought 18,514 fans to the arena. The availability of a record number of seats was made possible by the band’s 360-degree stage.
The 2-1/2 hour show packed in 24 songs including six from the latest album. They also touched on songs and deeper cuts from nine of their thirteen studio albums along with the “collection” Burning Bridges. Albums missed were Bon Jovi (1984), 7800 Degrees Fahrenheit (1985), These Days (1995) and Bounce (2002).
