Bon Jovi concert #27 … a very different show

Tonight was the first of two nights of Bon Jovi at The Air Canada Centre.  They are on the final leg of the “Because We Can” tour.  It was a much different show tonight because Richie Sambora was not there.  Earlier in the year, Richie left the tour citing “personal reasons” and he hasn’t been back since.  Many are speculating that this is the end of the band.  Toronto native Phil X has been filling in for Richie.  Don’t get me wrong, Phil is a great guitar player but he ain’t no Richie.  There were a few surprises tonight … “Great Balls of Fire” and “Takin’ Care of Business”.
