Bon Jovi - VH-1 Storytellers, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City, 9-20-2000

Next for the "VH-1 Storytellers" series is an episode by the band Bon Jovi.

In this case, we happen to have album that is about double the typical episode length. This is because of a soundboard bootleg of the entire concert. I cut out some dead air. Also, a couple of songs were done twice, but I only kept one version each.

Bon Jovi has sold over 120 million albums worldwide. At the time of this concert, the band had release the studio album "Crush" several months earlier. It revived the band's sagging commercial sales, mostly due to the hit song "It's My Life." The album went on to sell over two million copies in the U.S., and did very well in Europe as well.

Only two songs from that album were performed in this concert: "It's My Life" and "Just Older." Most of the rest are hits from earlier albums. They also did the Tom Waits song "Jersey Girl," which has never been officially released by them.

This album is an hour and 13 minutes long.
