Bon Jovi | Live at Nassau Coliseum | August Show | Uniondale 1987

Recorded: August 9th, 1987 at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY.
35 years ago today, Bon Jovi played the Nassau Coliseum for the 2nd time that year after their previous sell-out gig at the venue in April. Since the second night was cancelled, this was the last show of the 8 month USA leg of the Slippery When Wet Tour, hence it has quite a special setlist including a good couple of rarities. Not Fade Away was performed only two times before, Walk Away Renée hasn't been done since the previous USA Tour supporting .38 Special, and they played Backdoor Santa for the first and only time for "A Very Special Christmas", an upcoming compilation album produced to benefit the Special Olympics. But there is also Social Disease, a pretty rare album cut, and the CCR cover Travellin' Band, which Dee Snider joined them on stage for. The band was pretty burnt out and Jon's voice was rougher than ever, but they still pulled through and managed to deliver quite energetic performances of most of the tracks, the Never Say Goodbye music video was filmed here and Livin' On A Prayer even got broadcasted on MTV & released commercially as part of the SWW: The Videos VHS / DVD. Four recordings were used for this project to compile all the best sources into a full show, all of Jon's speeches, crowd noise between songs and even the encore breaks were patched in to make the experience as seamless as possible. I guess this is the definitive way to listen to the complete show. Enjoy!
