BON JOVI CENTRAL BELL
Some notes and the crowd rises

MONTREAL - Even without its star guitarist Richie Sambora, Bon Jovi knows how to raise a crowd.
And still more so when the push is Montreal.
The band Bon Jovi does not suffer to care about his popularity in Montreal. The figures speak for themselves: five shows in Montreal in 14 months, more than 200,000 fans at the Bell Centre last 10 years.
But it is low and first on stage that the grouping of New Jersey can evaluate the magnitude of the phenomenon. We however had evidence Wednesday night, when more than 20,000 people crowded into the house to acclaim the Montreal show that the group presented the sami spot two nights ago for less than 3 months.
Same show? Not quite. In fact, there was a big difference and she was on stage, to the good of Jon Bon Jovi.
In rehab since last week, guitarist Richie Sambora had left his site to Phil Xenidis, who has also replaced in Victory and has already worked with Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie. In short, not really a beginner, and he proved it a few times during this concert marked by the big success of the group ( Bad Medicine , Dead or Alive , I'll Sleep When I'm Dead , Livin on a Prayer ...) .
The present began around 20 pm to thunderous applause and screams. After a little introduction video, the group started the first chords of Lost Highway , immediately after linking with We Were not Born to Follow .
The company withdrew from the third song. Let the fun begin! launched Jon Bon Jovi before embarking You Have Love a Bad Name . The room erupted with a jump and was not stale by the end of the next title, the inevitable "Born to Be My Baby .
While Bon Jovi has lost quite a promoter in Richie Sambora, the band owes much of its strength on stage magnetism and vigor of Jon Bon Jovi. At 49, the singer is yet quite a showman who has aught to envy the young pop stars (the Justin Bieber and others) which he mocked gently in The More Things Change .
While We Got It Going On , the rocker has even abandoned his guitar to go and dancing to a platform above the stage. And when, in the eye of the show, he took off his leather jacket to let them see his black jacket, women in the room uttered loud screeching.
In the upcoming weeks, the grouping of New Jersey will do in a dozen U.S. cities, before continuing his turn of Europe.
