A video registration remastered by YouTube channel hAnD90, in 2020. The description box:
(this show)Β “somehow always captured the magic of that era for me.“
And the description box also contains context to the entire Slippery When Wet Tour, by quoting Richie Sambora:
“Slippery’s success took us all by surprise. So much that our entire stage setup wasn’t prepared for these big arenas. Not the sound system, not the lightning setup, nothing.”
The video
Bon Jovi | 1st Night at Joe Louis Arena | Detroit 1987
was uploaded on the 21st August 2020 already.
So it’s not its newness that sparked my interest and made me select it to create a new card.
The context to this concert reading is an entirely different one altogether!
And one that could have been predicted by any Bon Jovi fan, with or without clairvoyance skills.
BackstoryΒ
“25 may 1987 Philadelphia”
(hear me out!)
.
The official Bon Jovi account on Twitter has got a bad reputation.
Although in light of the post-2022 slippery slope of the medium, it could have been worse.
It’s not like this account has become hateful, or went down the drain like the rest of them, but “we see it as” unreliable, fake motivational, a laughing stock, etc. Quotation marks because many fans have stopped seeing it altogether.
I know I did.
So when on the 25th of May I saw a colorful mid-80s Bon Jovi concertposter commemorating their show that day 38 years ago in a venue called The Freedom Hall?
I liked it!
Not only because I liked the poster, but also because it had been weeks since I liked one of Jane’s posts who posts daily about Bon Jovi, and the majority are dated as “On this day” (in 1987 f.e.)
I automatically assumed the poster was posted by her.
But it didn’t take long until I saw claims this poster was fake. That Bon Jovi did not play a concert on the 25th of May 1987;
Their concert on the 24th had been Thornville and on the 26th had been their first night in Detroit.
Philadelphia didn’t have a Freedom Hall.
And the photo was “clearly” (quotation marks because I am blind to this, but clear for those in the Know!) from 1988 and not from 1987.
Over 24 hours passed before the account took the fake poster down, but if you have X you can still see a picture of it here, on the account of Mitch Lafon, in a tweet on the dates surrounding the 26th which I used for this articleπ
Meanwhile the generator to make your own fake concert posters had been tracked down and an extra thousand jokes about the interns who were apparently in charge of running the Twitter/ X account, were cracked.
Including someone remembering that time the account congratulated Richie Sambora for his birthday, despite him never having been included in any of the stories from the account.
But with this fake poster to a concert that never happened the account had crossed the line between ignoring a band member who had been instrumental to Bon Jovi’s success;
And was now knee deep in distributing fake news.
If I was their spindoctor, I’d suggest a statement that the account had been hacked.
Hell, I still think that is the most plausible explanation!
Surely better than the intern, since A. no serious band leaves their social media to chance and B. we all know interns do an amazing job at social media, so whomever has been in charge of it, is clearly not a Gen Z intern.
But I digress.
Because by far the most interesting thing I have for you is the possibility that the concert on 26 May 1987 did take place. In the Freedom Hall in Philadelphia and that people will remember having been there.
Something known as “The Mandela Effect”, after people who have vivid memories of Nelson Mandela having died in prison in the 80s, despite that not having been the case.
If you’re interested in knowing the scientific explanation you can watch this video:
The Mandela Effect Finally Explained
This is why I have chosen Detroit on the 26th of May 1987;
It is the concert that did take place, one day after the alternative fact-poster.
Bon Jovi Detroit on the 26th of May actually happened, we have a two hour video proving so. Just like Nelson Mandela really lived to be very old and did not die until 2013 when he was 95 years old.
With explanations for the Mandela effect going deep into quantum physics and the multiverse, and the idea that there is an infinite number of realities, the question raises;
Has Bon Jovi 26th of May 1987 actually taken place, in one of them?
The Mandela Effect
the card
The Mandela Effect Card means you have shifted.
And now your memory of what happened is different to other people’s versions of reality.
The theory stems from the Double Slit Experiment where observation influenced how particles behaved.
When observed the particles behaved like little pieces of matter. When not observed “they” were a wave, like light or water. They were still in potential, infinite possibilities.
This reality crossed time and space:
If a recording of the experiment was made without looking, and the tape was studied in the future, the same thing occurred.
Indicating the particles still felt it, even though the looking happened in the future.
When the Mandela Effect cards shows up in your reading, it means you need to be reminded that from a quantum perspective, what you think about, you bring about. And if you keep thinking about it, you keep bringing it about.
Alternatively, you are invited to see if you can change the past by going over the event in your mind, and creating a new memory of it. Of people lovingly supporting you. Of you being happy. Of safely taking the kettle off the stove and pouring the water in the tea pot, effortlessly.
You’re free to create, change or take out the whole layer of reality, that responds to thoughtforms.
The boundaries of reality may come with a lot more give, than you give it credit for.
Without your observation, none of this would be here.

about concert readings
.
Founded on the 4th of December 2024, Concert Readings are the Bon Jovi equivalent of a Tarot reading.
Can we find the stories still buried deep inside the bootlegs?
Can we elevate the ones already told a thousand times?
This series is intended to run for ten years, covering a good part of the available 20th century concerts.
And who knows?
Maybe from 2035 up, we’ll do what Jon calls a round two!
Covering the tours 2000 – 2010.
Map out your future but do it in pencil.
Jon Bon Jovi
That was it!Β
