Jon Bon Jovi is 61 years old now and Richie Sambora (guitarist) is 64 years old. Tico on drums is 70 and David Bryan on the keyboards is 61 and Alec on bass guitar sadly passed away last year at the age of 71. This was the breakout single world wide and helped propel them to one of the biggest bands in the world.
Take a year to make. ;O) What you're seeing is actually a stage set up that would've been used every show of that tour. Put up, knocked down, loaded into numerous tractor trailer trucks and moved to the next city. For an indoor arena the load in would start very early in the morning the day of and the whole thing would be packed up by sometime after midnight, usually later than that. I was in this biz during that time and we did concerts that were way bigger than this. For instance The Rolling Stones, among many others, in football stadiums. Those took around 5 days, give or take, to set up and 4 to 5 to take down.
@@SaxCastsIt was a crazy business. We did set a record once that I don't think anyone has done since. I know it wasn't attempted before. We put The WHO in a football stadium in 16 hours. There was a college football game the night before the show and we couldn't get the stadium until 11 PM the day before. The WHOs production manager and I had to figure out how to jam about 5 days into overnight. We did it with several hundred local union and non-union hires and so many forklifts that if one broke down or got a flat we just pushed it out of the way and got another one from the forklift pool we established. At 3 PM the next day the promoter, I and one of our production guys were standing at downstage (front) center when we called security on the radio to open the gates. Our boss, the promoter, said, you guys did it! We can do this all the time. My colleague laughed and said, "You ain't seen the bill yet". ;O)
Love your reaction video and I can tell you exactly how this Bon Jovi video was made because I was there! Living On a Prayer and others from the Slippery When Wet album were filmed over two days in 1986 at an old boxing arena in Los Angeles. A local radio station, KNAC, put out a call for listeners to come to a free Bon Jovi concert (they were popular but not huge at the time). I took time off work to be there. Everything you see in the video is how it happened live - the pyrotechnics, the flying, the energy. Vince Neil, the lead singer from Mötley Crüe, was hanging out just off stage and would come out to chat with the audience between takes. It was an experience I’ll never forget! Glad you got to see and appreciate the video. And glad that, like Jon Bon Jovi himself, I’m also still alive!
I was 10 when I first heard this song- I was blown away, was my favourite song for ages! And yes was my first Record bought from the local record shop My other two favourite Songs from then were Money For Nothing (Dire Straits of course) and Funky Town (Psuedo Echo)
When your son says something (or you) during the music that needs to be mic'd up. That is what a reaction is. He is very observant and precocious, though.
Great Stuff Guys.... Oh how time is Marching On.... I Recorded myself singing this song with professional music in a quality recording booth they had in a mall in 1988... It turned out really really good. I lost my recording of my Yes... CASSETTE TAPE...OH. And would you react to OFFICIAL QUIET RIOT VIDEO "BANG YOUR HEAD"... Yes I saw Quiet Riot Live on 2nd tour in the fall 1984. Wichita KS. I was in 8th Grade ...
@@SaxCasts Super Awesome. That would Truely be WAY COOL... would definitely make my week. If you Watch Quiet Riot Come on feel the noise live 1983 LIVE. Would make my year. Thx again guys great stuff...
In 1986 I was 18! ( 53 in thumbnail BTW ) PS. This is for your son. Not exactly ready for a rocking chair myself, & I have no urge to yell...Get OFF MY LAWN!! Yet. LOL

Incredible band for sure! Thanks for the extra info although I know most of their songs I don't actually know much about the band themselves!
Just love the 80's (class of "85") Reagan, big hair, MTV, and going to concert's 🤪🍻🤘🎸🎛️ Don't forget the Arcade Good Times 🤘🤘🤘
I miss those times too (although a bit later for me) everything seemed much simpler! Which song should I get him to listen to next?
The first part of this video was black and white during rehearsal then turns color for concert
❤great reaction guys
Thank you so much Carolyn! ❤️
Going from rehearsal to live show. Cool effect. Nice to see Dad singing along lol
haha!!
I was 15 when this came out, you both are making me feel old 😳😂😂
Not as old as I feel. I was 26. But I remember thinking 30 was old at one time. 😁
Haha, on the plus side you were old enough to appreciate one of the best decades of music! Which song should I get him to listen to next?
😊😊😊 Which song should we react to next Evelyn?
@@SaxCastsI haven’t seen everything you’ve done yet, but if you haven’t done Cinderella, I’d like to request Shake Me😃

Two songs in my favourites for sure and Alex hasn't heard them either! I'll put those on the list thank you!!
I was 12. Listened to rock radio all weekend just to record this song back then

The phrase 'classic rock from the 80s' makes my heart die a little
Great reaction video. Great generational dialog.
Haha ty dervish!

This sounds amazing! What a memory, shame you lost it. We'll check out the song!

I’m 32, I enjoy Gold radio, I suppose officially I’m an old man now, thanks for letting me know😅
You and I both Dan and I'm not far off the wrong side of 40 🤣
I'm the same age as Richie...I think this was for the most part concert footage.
That makes sense. It was quite common to shoot the video at the early gigs!
In 1986 I was 18! ( 53 in thumbnail BTW ) PS. This is for your son. Not exactly ready for a rocking chair myself, & I have no urge to yell...Get OFF MY LAWN!! Yet. LOL
LOL. Time flies by so fast, I'm looking back on the 90s as a golden era now 🤣 which song should I get him to listen to next Kelli?
@@SaxCasts Find. The Midnight Special, clip of Peter Frampton. Singing, Do You Feel Like We Do. This is something you have to see. Not just listen to.
The key change is crazy ,nearly impossible to do live even then
I was 16. A Jr in high school.
That's really cool. You got to experience it at the time!!
Jon Bon Jovi is most definitely alive- and not bald today 😂
when musicians really played and concert edited footage counted.... support public school music programs
Please do a First time reaction to Peter Frampton "Do you feel like we do" Midnight Special 1975
