Happy Birthday, Richie!

Saw Bon Jovi rock the Garden last night! Awesome show - one of the best I've seen. The place was full of energy and despite its being Jon & co.'s 95th show of the tour, there wasn't a hint of mailing it in - he was turned up to 11 the whole night. Really tremendous show.

Evidently it's Richie Sambora's birthday today, so after they "finished" they came back onstage and the Garden sang him "Happy Birthday" (How cool would that be to have thousands of people singing to you?). Then Jon & Richie played an acoustic version of "Wanted Dead or Alive," Jon's favorite song. Sheer schtonk.

The All-American Rejects opened and actually put on a good show. They've got a few dece songs.

Props to Benoc for getting the tix!
