Welcome to the third in a new series for this blog!

This Rock Star Writer blog will from now on be host to posts about live concerts from 1983 to 1996;
A position previously held by another blog, but that blog has found its purpose in its latest iteration;
As home to Daily Bon Jovi Yoga.

The story below, was originally posted there.
But rest assured; All those old Bon Jovi posts will be saved and reposted here, so that contrary to Frankfurt 1089, they do not run the risk getting lost for 34 years!

a Christmas concert avant-la-lettre

👩🏼‍💻 the story 

.
A Christmas concert, before Bon Jovi even knew they had Christmas concerts!

Frankfurt 1989, is when the band hit what must have been their Christmas-infused homesick rock bottom, playing night after night in another city in Germany.
You can hear the melancholy drip off Blood on Blood’s introduction, and throughout the show every time Jon Bon Jovi drops the word Christmas – which is often and a concept that clearly means more to him than to the 1989 German crowd, where Christmas still revolved around baby Jesus not Santaclaus (who some say was given life by Coca-Cola!)- 
the pain of missing home is almost palpable.

A year after this concert, they were indeed home.
Exactly as they had longed for, playing Germany around Christmas time, having been 16 months on the road and counting.
But they would not just rest on their laurels.

For seven years, from 1990 to 1996, they would play New Jersey’s Count Basie theatre, in the week before Christmas;

But nothing explained the profound meaning it had to them, to spend Christmas at home;
Than Frankfurt 23 December, 1989.
