It's called "maning up" - a profound way to face down any critics - a song from his youth sung with perfect pitch and backed by his powerful band of extraordinary musicians.
Just heard about Alec Jon Such passing away, my prayers go out to his family and all of the members of Bon Jovi.
They really need to put out another live album with songs like this, always, bed of roses, dry county, roulette, blood on blood, just to name a few
I was there when they sang that song. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the first notes. I said to myself Oh my God it can't be! I was thrilled! Really thrilled! I really love when they surprise us like that by playing songs no one would think they would perform live again. Let's wish we'll have the chance to hear that stuff again. ♥♥♥
Slippery when wet is Probably Bon Jovi‘s best hit album
@@NathanMueller848 What? Lost Highway was terrible, way past their prime. Country pop shite. Slippery When Wet was them at their prime
@@neilkendall5499 sorry but I disagree I still think lost highway was the best
I wa s there i let it rocked.. Anyone thta slags the best Touring band on the planet should have a serious word with themselves. was a treat to hear this at the wonderful O2 arena.
Richie sambora is a legend! much of the band's success is due to him! my idol, my favorite guitarist and the greatest endorser of all time!
He is one of my greatest influences as well. But you can tell that he has lost his chops. He was quite sloppy playing the solo. Nothing like the old days
Fantastic Richie Sambora solo!!!
Blows me away that after all these years, they've still got it. I still crack a grin when I see them play. Awesome! Good for them.
This is one of those songs that you simply cant sit still for or not mouth/sing the words along with the song. What an awesome piece of music!!!!
This was truly their best tour - great sound and great variety of songs old and new ❤️❤️
These classic Bon Jovi's songs are the best! I went to a concert and they sang this song, the new Bon Jovi fans, who weren't even born when this song was came out didn't know the words, or the song, but they rocked with the rest of "old people" lol Sometimes it's greaat getting old, especially when it comes to rock music! Rock on Bon Jovi!
One would think that listening to the entirety of Slippery When Wet was a prerequsite for new Bon Jovi fans.
Great song! My favourite Bon Jovi theme.
Richie's guitar solo si awesome.
Incredible performance!!!
I saw them in concert. in Endicott NY. sure they were late because of weather but well worth the wait. I had backstage passes and had a drink with the entire band. I grew up listening to bon jovi. .
This song will never age.
Love this song. Should be a staple in their live set. One of Richie's best solos
The weekend comes to this town
Seven days too soon
For the ones who have to make up
What we break up of their rules
Well I saw Captain Kidd on Sunset
Tell his boys they're in command
While Chino danced a tango
With a broomstick in his hand
He said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side
Let it rock, let it go
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock, let it go
With the night you're on the loose
You got to let it rock
We go down to the Broadway
Where everybody goes
To get on their rockin' horse
And blast that radio
Well I saw Roxie on the table
Her girlfriend down below
They'll give it to the king of swing
Before it's time to go
They said, It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side
Let it rock, let it go
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock, let it go
With the night you're on the loose
You got to let it rock
This song needs to be back in the setlist regularly when they tour again
Carl Clandestine I can't agree more. We need to hear more stuff like this. It would sure add some spice to the setlists. Don't get me wrong I love Bon Jovi shows but I always have the impression of seeing the same show over and over again. We need more surprises and more spontaneity during the shows.
+Amy Edwards Well, they ain't no Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. They change their setlists actually quite often compared to other artists but as often as The Boss does it.
As much as I (and many others) would love to see songs like Let it Rock, Only Lonely, Get Ready, Homebound Train, Something to Believe in, etc. at this point Jon's voice is completely shot to the point that he's even struggling on Who Says You Can't Go Home and Because We Can. It has improved slightly since october, but not nearly enough to be able to sing any of the old stuff well. I highly doubt we'll ever see these gems again in a setlist. Although he would probably still sound pretty good on "Shot Through the Heart" from the first album, since it requires very little range.
Tico Torres excellent drummer!
Wow. Richie's guitar skills are out of this world! Wish he was still rocking with the band!
Ritchie has the best guitar solos!
He used to, not anymore. Phil X is leagues above Richie, he can take what was a solo of Richie's and rip it to shreds and make is sound new and add to it make it sound so much better.
bellajean2000 Phil X's Dry County solo was nowhere near as good as Richie's. Phil X is a great guitarist, but Richie is extremely under rated.
Always a fan.....Jon was fortunate to find such a great bunch of talented guys .
David Bryan was having the time of his life playing this, specially evident on the “all right!” screams.
My daughter jholan Aquino no play game live only me for my daughter jholan
Descomunal Tico Torres haciendo sonar esa batería en cada tema que interpreta Jon Bon Jovi.
Impresionante Tico.
LOVE BON JOVI FOREVER!!! Can’t wait for 2024 & still Hoping/Praying for a BJ Reunion Show!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Best keyboarding solo ever.
Richie looked damn comfortable playing that solo after not playing it for 20+ years...
This is still a great song.....all these years later....jon is still the greatest
Stunning perfomance
They're a band of brothers chasing an unending dream and following the rainbow. Follow them, worship them! They are the Gods of rock! They keep it alive for us! They are my heroes!
Awesome song, sounds great live! Love it when they play some of the hidden gems live like this, "Only Lonely", "Superman Tonight", "Last Man Standing" etc. - A superb catalogue from a superb singer and band!
The first song on side 1 of Slippery When Wet.
Jon as always, best voice ever. David flying away on the keyboards and Tico beating those drums. My 3 favorite guys. ♥ I will Rock with them anytime.
Jon in the late 80's and 90's was not thatvgood live but the rest were. Jon did not reach his perfection until late 2000's. Did security work at venues in NYC sovwe pretty much watched them grow up. Now after his surgury and Richie gone the boys should have taken a well needed rest as it hurts tovwatch Jon sing now. Im see he is getting better as the tour goes on but they need a break.
I agree jon has al ways been highly talented as are David & Tiko I just love this band thier talented & Jon is an awesome front man.
Their BEST song ever!!!
You are one class act and I hope you keep performing for a long time to come!!!!
After all ... I've never seen a band, or singer, who sounds live just like they do on a record! And they will absolutely never sing their songs like they did twenty years ago! No one does ... take who ever you want.
That's life and live!!!
I still can see the fun in their faces, I still can feel it even when they do their live performances ...
Veritably, I have Bon Jovi in my soul. I'm connect with they by my spirit for ever and never. I love you So much God Bless You for all are you without you the life is not the same for me. Thank You !
Ahhh, one of my most beloved guitar solos EVER. I like the album version better, but this is bad ass too.
How I wish I could hear this live!!!!! What a great video!!!! I love Bon Jovi!
i got the cassette of slippery when wet when i was on holiday in yugoslavia...yes it was that long ago..and played it over and over again in my tent..was in 86 i think..drove the campers crazy
Uno dei migliori brano dei Bon Jovi che purtroppo non hanno quasi mai nesso nelle scalette dei loro concerti..
Great song!
this has always been one of my favorite bon jovi songs, Bon Jovi is amazing!!
2020 en Argentina 🙏💪 Por favor Dios aguante bon Jovi ♥️💪
Minha banda favorita desde 1984 quando eu tinha 14 anos de idade já curtia bon Jovi e sempre vou curtir bon Jovi show de bola
Jon did a good job on this, you can tell by his lack of movement that he had to work at it, but he nailed it.
Sambora es un extraterrestre 🤘🏼

I was about to go to bed when I saw this song got posted. I love these guys.
In 3.36 Jon shows the band that they play two times the chorus this time...hehe! love it....!
Two times on BJ show... Not enough to heard it live. One of the best of their songs and one of the best intros ever, hugely inspired (IMO) by Jon Lord from Deep Purple. Good old days.
my favorite bon jovi song :)

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
JON IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!
