The 'Stadium Rock' returns tonight at Donostia, it seems that no rain! With Bon Jovi, one of the great symbols of the USA more typically melodic rock. It will be the sixth summer of the last seven Anoeta Stadium becomes mega rocker outdoor enclosure, and the success of the public will be repeated with an entry that exceed, in length, three-quarters of capacity.

There are first announced a doublet state rock as an appetizer with The Rebels and Rulo and the smuggler, the latter, the new solo project of the former singer of rock cantabro urban flight and just released her debut CD signals Smoke.

And starting at 21.45 hours, the great feast Bon Jovi in ​​principle with a set list full of classics (no new album to present) and a long concert, which in many cities has reached the 3 hours!

The European leg of world tour 'Open Air' tour kicked off June 8 in Zagreb before 40,000 fans who filled the Maksimir Stadium. The code has since been varied in each city and the group seems to ignore the requests of the public. According to the developer, are 97 songs that the video equipment has had to schedule in case you play at a concert.

The tour is a candy to his followers. The 'Open Air Tour' provides support for "'Greatest Hits' compilation CD with four new tracks recorded for the occasion (' What Do You Got? ',' The More Things Change ',' No Apologies', 'This Is Love ',' This Is Live ') Bon Jovi released a few months ago. As described by the leader himself, "these songs have stood the test of time and remind us where we came from, while keeping an eye on the future ". It is therefore a very successful tour in Europe and will the stadiums and large outdoor enclosures of 23 cities with a total of 24 concerts. A journey nearly over, the only missing the stops San Sebastian (the only state of the tour date near Barcelona, ​​in which yesterday acted Olympic Stadium) and Lisbon on Sunday.

Therefore, about half of the attendees who come to the site come from outside San Sebastian Gipuzkoa. A hearing is expected plural in both age and aesthetic. Because if anything defines Bon Jovi is his ability to find songs and choruses for all ages, a formula that still works after nearly three decades of activity. In that sense, the group collects numbers are dizzying: Over 125 million records sold and 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries with 35 million fans. A band that has been selling cyclically and without complex shaping their sound and image to reach as many people as possible.

The 'light' to 'mainstream'

Bon Jovi The tour started in the 80's, when the group, with Jon Bon Jovi (vocals), Richie Sambora (guitar), David Bryan (keyboards), Alec John Such (bass) and Tico Torres (drums) burst onto the market U.S. with a debut in the orbit and colorful heavy metal image and youthful hair salon. The proposal was so 'light' coming even those who did not like the heavy. He also caught many followers the leader himself by his physical appearance, a spunky rubiales of chest hair back then (the fashion of shaving had not arrived yet).

In those 80 years the New Jersey quintet went on to become top of the AOR, heavy cutting unit sound better suited to FM and the 'hits' radiables, love songs, preferably. The case is signed by a succession of balls. Especially on albums like "Slippery When Wet 'and' New Jersey '. Of those 80's are round and catchy rock choruses such as 'Runaway', 'You Give Love A Bad Name', 'Livin' On A Prayer "" Wanted Dead Or Alive ',' Lay Your Hands On Me "or" Bad Medicine ', all of undeniable commercial hook and a nice heavy style that created a school.

With the change came 90. Carded hair disappear and the group seeks a more serious and if possible to reach more audiences, cleverly conforming to the new trends in the music market. The sound mutates into softer, often close to U2 or Bruce Springsteen to a lesser extent, with more mellow ballads (some even tacky), epic rock, country approach to the disk and counted in some songs of a generally strong.

Led a gamble with that much of his audience to turn their back heavy since 'Keep The Faith' (1992), but also earned them new audiences, especially women, and not lose its status as stadium band. Reduced quartet officially in 1994 after the departure of bassist Alec John Such (replaced since then by Hugh McDonald in a collaborator) and the fact that in the 90 and the new millennium have released albums usually uneven and less fortunate ( 'These Days' or' Bounce 'are among the most expendable of their catalog), Bon Jovi has retained the popular appeal, in part thanks to its proven effectiveness in singles impact of billing:' Keep The Faith ',' Always', 'It, s My Life', 'Have A Nice Day' or 'We Were not Born To Follow' and the group have performed commendably still at the top nearly 30 years later, thanks to its ability to accommodate new audiences without losing their melodic imprint.

Of course, after a very active last decade, announced a break of several years after finishing the tour and see what his next musical movements. So far it seems that these are the last concert of Bon Jovi in ​​a while.
