Bon Jovi: What do You Got live in Mexico

Finally good video surfaces of this new Bon Jovi hit being played in a stadium. The PC Richards version is nice but in reality so many more people will be exposed to this song in a stadium or arena setting. Also the acoustics are better at the PC Richards Theater than they are in a stadium.

Bon Jovi: Few people have come to expect to Bon Jovi

From our Bon Jovi loving friends in Costa Rica.

Group performs tonight at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa

17 years later, Bon Jovi returned

Arrival rockers arrived the country yesterday and were immediately taken to the hotel where they met several fans

A small and enthusiastic group of lucky fans received yesterday, shouting at the band Bon Jovi on arrival at your hotel.

The private flight brought the singer Jon Bon Jovi and his companions landed at Juan Santamaría International Airport, when the clock struck 5:10 pm

Immigration officials were responsible for registering the income of the country rockers.

A production team was waiting at the foot of the stairs to transfer them immediately to their hotel, a caravan of vehicles.

The band and their entourage were taken to a luxurious hotel in the capital, whose name we can not disclose at the request of the production. There, a warning fans could see how the singer Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Richie Sambora, drummer Tico Torres and keyboardist David Bryan entered as a bullet to the hotel, amid the security personnel.

Only one young man could steal a kiss on the cheek, the singer and the young Salvadoran Quiteño René Torres got him to sign his album Slippery When Wet.

The musicians ignored the presence of the press. Tico Torres only waved to the cameras.

Meanwhile, the camera flashes and some threw away their screaming begging for a little souvenir of the reunion.

Wanting more. The swift passage of the musicians left with a distaste for those who were waiting anxiously in the hotel.

Melissa Ponce, a resident of Santa Ana, was one that could see up close rockers.

"It was too fast, I could only say hello. I thought they would have more contact with the public, "he told the young man of 29 years.

For his part, Abraham Madrigal Puriscal, described as a dream come true seeing their idols in person.

Not everyone was so smiling after the entry of the musicians.

"We came from Quepos and not at all" was the comment that said the boy Samuel Alvarado, age 7, visibly disappointed at the fleeting passage of rockers.

He, along with her mother and brother Lineth Solano, Efren 10 years, came to San Jose just for the concert today.

The band will perform tonight at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa in his tour Tibás The Circle and after an absence of 17 years when they first came and played before a sold out show at the Palacio de los Deportes.

Today, the band returned with a show they have promised will be huge, full of innovative technology and, above all, with their biggest hits.

Yes, I expect them to stand outside of a hotel in Costa Rica and sign autographs, just like I expect them to do the same thing here in the states.  *Rolls Eyes*

Story numero dos.

Few people have come to expect to Bon Jovi

Caterina L. Elizondo celizondo@nacion.com 26/09/2010 36 minutes ago

At about 11 am, the atmosphere at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa was not yet very hot, waiting for the concert of the band Bon Jovi.

However, the 'fans' most loyal in the group were there even queuing since Thursday.

Parents and children, coworkers, friends and even acquaintances through social networks began to fill the lineup, although the income is scheduled for 4 pm

According to Paul Fonseca, manager of corporate security Isaseca, three days of monitoring the area and so far there has been no major incidents.

"At the moment production (Evenpro) has not done reporting on items that can not enter, but we know that professional cameras are banned," said Fonseca.

Sales are also strong, along the block of the stadium there are several food stalls and sales of items such as shirts, scarves and memorabilia from the band. . There is no shortage of ticket resellers, who prowl through the rows looking for who they sell and buy tickets.

At this time it rains in Tibás, and as mentioned some concert-goers have been covered with coats and umbrellas, because outside the stadium there are no tents or camping allowed.

In a few hours will bring more information about the environment before the concert of Bon Jovi, after 17 years of no-show in the country, www.nacion.com .

Bon Jovi: Jon is "Keep Calm and Carry On"

So a picture came up with Jon wearing a t-shirt that said the following:
Keep Calm and Carry On (he was also wearing it during sound check in Mexico City, I guess that must be the two pieces of clothing Jon is wearing this leg of the tour since us long time fans know Jon doesn't wear underwear [go back and watch Access all Areas at the end when he cleans out his wardrobe, he says this...])

Here's some history on the shirt or the slogan for that matter from Wikipedia:

Keep Calm and Carry On was a poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, to raise the morale of the British public in the case of invasion. It was little known and never used. The poster was rediscovered in 2000 and has been re-issued by a number of private sector companies, and used as the decorative theme for a range of other products.

History

The poster was initially produced by the Ministry of Information[1] in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, and was intended as a "last case scenario" to be used only should the Nazis succeed in invading Britain via Operation Sea Lion, in order to stiffen resolve. Two-and-a-half million copies were printed, although the poster was distributed only in limited numbers. The designer of the poster is not known.

The poster was third in a series of three. The previous two posters from the series, "Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory" (800,000 printed) and "Freedom is in Peril" (400,000 printed) were issued and used across the country for motivational purposes, as the Government assumed that the nerves of the public would be shot to pieces (they soon changed their tactics). Planning for the posters started in April 1939, by June designs were prepared, and by August 1939, they were on their way to the printers, to be placed up within 24 hours of the outbreak of war. The posters were designed to have a uniform device, be a design associated with the Ministry of Information, have a unique and recognizable lettering, with a message from the King to his people. The slogans were created by civil servants, with Waterfield coming up with "Your Courage" as "a rallying war-cry that will bring out the best in everyone of us and put us in an offensive mood at once". These particular posters were designed as "a statement of the duty of the individual citizen", un-pictorial, to be accompanied by more colloquial designs. The "Your Courage" poster was much more famous during the war, as it was the first to go up, very large, and was the first of the Ministry of Information's posters. The press, fearful of censorship, created a backlash, and thus a lot of material related to these posters has been kept by archives.

Rediscovery and commercialization

As a poster, memorabilia or merchandise

In 2000, a copy of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster was rediscovered in Barter Books, a second-hand bookshop in Alnwick, Northumberland. Since Crown Copyright expires on artistic works created by the UK government after 50 years, the image is now in the public domain. The store's owners, Stuart and Mary Manley, were thus able to reprint copies at customers' requests, as did others, inside and outside Britain. It has inspired ranges of clothing, mugs, doormats, baby clothes and other merchandise from various vendors, plus a book of motivational quotes. Parodies of the poster, with similar type but changing the phrase or the logo (for example, an upside-down crown with "Now Panic and Freak Out"), have also been sold.  The poster's popularity has been attributed to a "nostalgia for a certain British character, an outlook" according to Mary Manley. Its message has also been felt relevant to the late-2000s recession.  Merchandise with the image has been ordered in bulk by American financial firms, advertising agencies, and by Germans.

It has appeared on the walls of places as diverse as the prime minister's strategy unit at 10 Downing Street, the Lord Chamberlain's office at Buckingham Palace and the United States embassy in Belgium. The Manleys have sold some 41,000 facsimile posters between 2001 and 2009.

I bet Jon got it in London but you can get it at lots of online retailers if you choose.  For example amazon has it:  Here
