Details on the backstage tour from Dresden.


Daniella bon-jovi.de forum had from Mike Rew on the exclusive "Bon Jovi Backstage Tour" to go the chance. Here you a complete report. There are lots of photos, Daniella has made ​​available to, all ye that in the photo gallery can watch.

Dresden, 10 June 2011, 14 clock, Ostragehege

Bon Jovi backline Chief Mike Rew welcomes us behind the giant stage with the words: "Do you have a camera with you? - Take as many pictures as you can "(" Do you have a camera then makes as many photos as possible "?). And let's go over a ramp directly into the heart of the stage. The sight tops all expectations and breath away! What start here is just fabulous! By now everyone knows: This equipment is without a doubt the World Best Touring Act - Bon Jovi!

Big, Bigger, Bon Jovi!

I have to think of this picture from the Big Apple - which start here is huge! A city made of steel, engineering, as far as the eye! Countless volunteers work hand in hand, it can be checked cables, monitors checked, tuned instruments. Each is highly concentrated, yet casually on it, there is always time for a brief small talk or a little joke.

Where should we just look first? There is the huge collection of guitars from Richie Sambora, and of course front man Jon Bon Jovi. This creates Kasinoff Kurt, who is responsible for Jon's guitars, the finishing touches. It checks strings, and of course must be in the evening each guitar fits passed to the second to the front man.

Mike takes us to a mixer with such proportions, seen as never before. Here is everything together, very professional, the last polls made. Mike tells us that each band member has their own cameras. The images below are controlled, evaluated and aired during the concert on the big screen phenomenal. These then are some trailers and clips, suitable to the individual songs. Later confirmed that nothing is left to chance: a precise, the stage show exactly the right pictures show leaves nothing to be desired.

With the eyes of the band ...

Now it is up to the stage. This path will take the band later to rock the stadium. Breathtaking view from here of the Ostragelände, which has already attracted many fans in the early afternoon is: Diamond Circle, Golden Circle, interior, stands. What must that be a sight for the band, when thousands hands go up and mitrocken!

Even here on the stage there is hustle and bustle. There is nothing left to chance. Hundreds of plug are in safe hands of their goal by organizing cables laid, - stumbling sure, of course.

Guitars, Drums and More!

The work of drummer Tico Torres looks bombastic. Joe Dorosz responsible for Ticos Drums swings the sticks and check out the sound. Right next to keyboardist David Bryan will hit the keys. Where to look first? My view to the front again, and there it is in the middle of the stage: Jon Bon Jovi black Takamine, with the white inscription "AP 95". The acronym stands for Al Parinello, Jon's guitar teacher, who died in 1995. For the real fans that gesture is as an image for the binding of this band from New Jersey who just brilliant not only with skill, but simply in the right place with the heart, through a continuum of "Brotherhood".

Jon's white mic stand is already built, next to the small desk for the setlist. At this time, and really see a set list, but still from a concert in Zagreb.

Takumi Suetsugu, Richie Samboras chief assistant, stands on the stage and tested in his usual casual way a guitar for the others. He also finds time to talk. When asked whether it was now routine to tour with Bon Jovi, he says: "You'll never get used to it. Every place is different, every crowd is different. It's always fun! "(" As you get used to never turn. Every place, every audience is different. It's always fun! ")

At the end it goes with Mike on the circular walkway that leads to complete the Golden Circle area. Here Jon Bon Jovi fro in the evening then, and deliver to crown the whole band with an acoustic performance that will blow even the most veteran enthusiast.

"Any questions left?" ("Are there any questions?") Wants to know Mike. I take this opportunity ", but I have a present for you! No" ("No question, but a gift for you!") A little perplexed, he is all too often seems to occur not ... "Oh, wow, a present? - Is it? What "(" a gift? Oh What is it? "), I hear him say, and broad grin, he jumps onto the web. I hand him a shirt of Benefit and Joy and tell him what it has on it. Bon Jovi fans build houses for the needy, as Jon Bon Jovi in it with his Soul Foundation. The result is the idea in the official German Bon Jovi Forum, the first building project took place in the last year in Romania. The seem to like him much, he listens attentively and commented on it with a "Great job, I appreciate that! Thank you very much! "(" Your doing a great job, I think it's great, thank you! ")

With a bundle full of unforgettable impressions of the backstage tour ends with Mike Rew. My conclusion: Highly recommended, unique, unique! And the best is yet to come: the show will begin at 20.30 clock! Rock On!
