Bon Jovi rocked Ashton Gate for a second time in three years in front of more than 21,000 fans tonight.
The legendary rock band, recently named the biggest live act in the world, thrilled a lively crowd in the balmy Bristol heat.
Playing all their classic hits as well as some more recent songs, even drifts of rain couldn't dampen the fans' spirits.
Some rockers had camped out in a nearby park overnight in readiness for the show, and they enjoyed support acts Goldtrip and Vintage Trouble before the main event of Bon Jovi's appearance at around 7.30pm.
You Give Love a Bad Name and We Weren't Born To Follow were early crowd favourites and It's My Life soon had the crowd participating.
We Got It Goin' On couldn't be any more appropriate as lead singer Jon Bon Jovi, struggling through a knee injury suffered in a recent Helsinki show, had the crowd eating out the palm of his hand.
Blaze Of Glory, In These Arms and Keep the Faith brought further cheers before the band entered an encore.
Classics Someday I'll Be Saturday Night, Wanted Dead or Alive and Livin' on a Prayer proved a fitting way to end another superb Ashton Gate concert.
Chief executive Guy Price said: "It's was a spectacular night and it was fantastic to see so many thousands of people coming from all over the enjoy the legendary Bon Jovi at Ashton Gate.
"It's brilliant that Bristol can put on an event like this and we look forward to so much more in the future in the new stadium."
