  • I want richies pants :D

  • I thought this song has never been played in concert because it wasn't written by them?

  • Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.

  • @marionetemanJ

    BULLSHIT

  • lol The apocalypse? One has to be a dumb fuck to think the apocalypse is near by on the horizon. Signs of it have been present since before Moses. Nobody can predict how close it is. Just live your life and enjoy it and don't let the fuckers mess up with your happiness. Whatever happens you only live once.

  • Great!! Love this song!!!!<3<3<3

  • Nice guitaring by Richi at 3:15!! LOVE my boys!! :)

  • Fucking POP band!!! Stupid balads so comercial

  • Jon Bon Jovi hates this song too! It's the only song they have ever included in any album that wasn't written by them. I personally like it, just know this is not really a Bon Jovi song even though it was on the first album.

  • They were hungry back then and it showed...Very nice jam...

  • Ichi means number one in japanesse Ichi (one) ni (two)

  • what does jon say at the start itchy???

  • I think he's counting in Japanese... >.>

  • @MARIOFREAK821 what a nutter :)

  • who sings the high notes in the chorus?? David or Alec??

  • i guess all of them inclduin ritchie

  • @Luisbj84

    ALEC

  • i hope they sing this song in the circle tour

  • Jon is a smart singer now, he changes the way he sings to suit what his voice can only do. Your voice changes, sounds rougher and deepens with age which makes it hard to sing, unless you had a voice like MJ :)

  • very popular in there 1st year

  • This song was written by Cleveland native, Mark Avsec, and originally recorded by my cousin, Peter Emmitt (Sonny Geraci)

  • Too bad they forgot where they came from and don't play this song live anymore. I drove through Sayerville and held a dollar bill out the window. Jon came running to get it. I swear, you'd think the guy had enough money that he wouldn't have to be such a sellout anymore. Oh well...I'm waiting for his rap album to come out now that his country album is long done.

  • he almost lost his woice on tour 1986 so he doesn t want to play these songs beacouse he can t

  • Rap is what losers do. He is too good for that. And that past album wasn't like George Strait or anything like that. Even if it HAD been country, it would be amazing! Go listen to Lady Gaga and don't watch Bon Jovi stuff just to leave poorly thought out comments.

  • I was there and loved it!

    I miss Jon who he was used to be......

  • He was just 22......!OMFG!"They were young and restless"

  • bon jovi at their cheezy best....as much as i'd like to hate the guy i cannot....he's done a lot for philanthropy very quietly and is a really nice guy....but i can still hate his cheezy music, right?

  • god i fuckin love this :D haaa

  • ta pulenta

  • Jon had a strong, full voice back then. The band was young, hungry and had something to prove. Doc McGhee shot be shot for making them tour 14 months for Slippery and then another 16 months for New Jersey.

  • 4 all those who think BJ lost his voice I`d say he`s an intelligent singer who knows that voice changes while getting older, so he has adapted it to the keys he reaches WITHOUT INJURING HIS SINGING!

  • opera singer here.... voice gets older and changes a lot ... its all about age so u must sing without harming when u get older...

  • Jon you look'n smokin <3

  • heey, that guy uses The Edge's guitar!

    (edge of U2 ofc)

  • That guy is richie sambora he is the king'o'swing :)

  • Sorry boys but I think Jon is the sexiest man ever!!

  • Taytay - Why do you seek to objectify Johnglyn Bon Jovi?

  • No one will EVER be better than Jon and the boys!

  • @crittercreek1969 SOOO TRUE!!

  • @crittercreek1969 WHITESNAKE!!! :D

  • One of the best early bon jovis songs, i think, is "silent night", an absolutely beautiful song.

    Then theres "run to you" one of my many favourites.

    I love this band, been to see them in concert 3 times n they r out of this world, amazing!!!!!

  • Sambora's the real singing freak. not only did he sing higher than Jon Bongiovi, but he did it while playing guitar. 3:15-3:25

  • not true.

    there are lots of video's and audio recordings where u can hear jon hit some notes that anyone else can only dream of.

    sambora rocks. but it just isnt true that he was able to sing higher than jon those days.. really, just no.

  • theres a reason why richie prefers to play the guitar and let jon do the singing.

  • lol...is alec singing opera?

  • sounds like it. sounds like dave is singing very flat on this one

  • bon jovi rocks ! +10

  • You can talk about songs you do or don't like from them. but when it comes down to it how many rock bands from the 80's stayed on top like them through the 90's and into the 2000's. They still get it done.

  • Too bad they never sing it live :(

  • Umm actually, Im on a Bon Jovi board. We list top songs all the time. And there are always favorites from those albums in thier top songs. Maybe not the top 5 or even 10, but those songs definatly mean something to alot of people. So I wouldnt go around stating what anyone else likes and doesnt like if you dont even know them. I get you dont like the first albums...thats fine, I dont really care if you do or dont. Plus have you ever considered that maybe those songs r harder for Jon to sing?

  • What more can I do, there´s nothing I haven´t tried

    Still it´s so hard for her to notice

    I´ve tried hard to be straight

    there´s nothing left I can say

    If only she would look my way

  • Wow!!!!!

  • This is one of their best songs!

  • The reason they dont play this song now is because it is the only song that none of the band had a hand in writing. Like true artists they find thier pleasure in expressing THIER feeling in the songs THEY have written. I love this song and am sad that they dont play it...but it makes sense to me why they dont.

  • Stop talking crap!

    They didn't write Rocking in the Free World, Love Hurts, The Boys are Back in Town, Twist and Shout and all the other covers they play live show after show, year after year.

    They don't play it for the same reason they ignore pretty much all of their first few albums: because they didn't sell, have weak songs and cause embarrassment. Only Runaway stands to this day - due to fan pressure.

  • Those songs were different. They were written by established artists. PLUS the band likes those songs. I dont know for sure, as I have only read, that none of the members in Bon Jovi liked She Dont Know Me very much. You are right about why they dont play the first 2 albums. The band had expressed how much they were dissapointed that those 2 albums didnt do very well. I dont agree with you at all about the songs being weak, however. Runaway stands because it was the band's break out single

  • You disagree and believe they won't play them as they didn't write them? And yet they play famous covers all the time?

    You think they'd stick to such principles if those albums had been triple platinum? Hell no.

    The albums didn't sell and there's not much clamour to hear them played. You may disagree that they were weak but that is your choice. Fact is, ask Jovi fans to name their top 50 songs and you'd struggle to find anything from the first 2 albums on those lists.

  • As a singer myself I have to agree with OnlyLonely.There are songs from the beginning day of Bon Jovi that are amazing. Jon has a great voice to this day I look at his talent for my own singing. He sings with such passion that is hard to come by.

  • When your singing you loose yourself in the songs and some songs are very hard to sing, thats what makes them great, But its really takes it out of your voice, and your body.

    As we get older as singers sometimes we just cant sing the same songs as we use to be able to. People with such great voices like Jon's its is very hard to keep your voice in top condition to be able to keep singing the same songs in 10 years.

  • jon actually messed up his vocal chords pretty bad in the late 80s performing on the slippery when wet and new jersey tours, lasting about 2 and a half years altogether. They kept pumping him full of steroids to keep him going, and since then he's sung in slightly lower keys to preserve his voice and stop it happening again.

  • dude only lonely is up there with livin on a prayer and wanted dead or alive for me! it kicks ass!!!!!!

    great voice and the band really shines through on that one. richies skills are great and that riff is amaziong!!!

    this is a great song to

  • They need to play The Hardest Part Is The Night.

  • i miss alec :(

  • Sometimes I think its probably best I wasn't conscious of my surroundings during the '80's. Lord knows, had I been around this hotness, I woulda been a groupie too.

  • exelente bon jovi for everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrr

  • LOVE THE HAIR!

  • :) I agree! But The Unfortunate Thing Is That He Has Too 'Blend In' And 'Make Music That Modern People Will Buy'. Stupid Really.. But If The Record Company Don't Think It Will Sell Then It Can't Be Made.

    I prefer His old Stuff Though Too X

    But He's Still AWESOME!

  • sure, unfortunately, this is the truth...

    sad, but true... =/

  • O god, the clothes, the clothes!!! :P

  • This videos is great, thanks for the uploader.....

  • i dedicate this to all girls that take but don't give

  • WoW what blast from the past!

  • they got some nice ballads, but I wish they generally would have rockier songs and pure guitar solos

  • Yeah me too....... and i am waiting for a rock album form bon jovi too. the other was good but it has been like 4 years since BOUNCE.

  • That wind in his hair... woooo - he's hot

  • ferpo If he'd try to get to those high notes then he would probably get somekind of throatinjury :s

  • they were so young,lol

  • Muito bom viu!!!!

  • I don't think can hit anywhere near the notes he did back then, so I highly doubt he'd even try it now.

  • back in the day jon used to use this song to intoduce tico torres. i have not heard him play this live in 20+ years. and i always go to his shows. i wish they would do a retro show, with all of their songs from the first and 2nd albums

  • I have never seen Bon Jovi.. but i prospect that someday he will come to Argentina... But what you said it's true he never sing again this greats songs.. but do you thing that his voice can afford to sing this songs?

    The drugs and the cigarretes have destroyed his voice... But i want to hear him again singing this...

  • He didn't take drugs.  He had a bad experience with weed back in high school and hasn't touched it since.

  • what drugs?

  • Why is it necessary to assume that just because Jon is a rockstar, he must do drugs?

  • great song, i'd die to see them perform it alive nowadays.

  • great!

  • the best bon jovi!!! there's nothing better than bon jovi in the 80's!!!they were the best rock band in the world!!!and still they are!!!!

    BON JOVI 4 EVER!!!

    BON JOVI ROCKS!!!!!

  • my favorite from the first album. there`s nothing like the early Bon Jovi!

  • GREAT SONG.......

  • Oneself came I wanted MSG, and to watch 1984 super rock in Japan, but Bon Jovi popularity was terrible in Japan.

  • I love this song. It sux they don't play their really old stuff like this anymore and now they've gone country.

  • I've been a BonJovi fan since 1983 and one year younger than Jon. Believe me, they are still Rock, they just got some success in Country but if you listen to Country nowadays it's sounds more Rock than Country.

  • This is my first time to see them play this song live!! Fastastic!

  • bon jovi forever yeahh live rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yahoo!

  • u kno what's weird? he tours all over the world and he has millions of fans, and most of them don't understand him becasue he speaks English, so, why are they fans? i can't like a song if you have no clue what they are saying. can u?

  • You can. At least I do. What's the problem if you don't understand the lyrics when you like the melody? Sure, lyrics are very important but then again, even the best lyrics will not attract people when they are set upon extremely lousy music.

  • that is pretty true, the way you look at it. hmmm. very good point you got there

  • lol, kid...

    if you were in Japan at this concert, and this incredibly adorable young man walked on stage, grinned, and started singing a fun, catchy song for you, would you really give a hoot what he actually was saying? haha bet you wouldn't ;-)

  • ok, ok. u got me.

  • Hahahaha! "Kid"!

  • bonjovi is the best

  • I love you guy's. your humble fan rhonda

  • I love this song!

  • Ohhhhh man, Jon is soo cute/sexy{we were kids in "84. I was 21 & Jon 22. Ohh so damm good, I'm happy they made it thru so much bs..they are keeping it tight..and alive for another generation! Rock Hard.....Jon & Richie... Peace,Ruth

  • OMG the beginning is super cute!! especially richie!!

  • i dream of when he'll be mine. lol. even though that will happen.:(

  • great song bon jovi are great forever

  • What more can i do? she don't want me like i want her. =[.. =]

  • good song good permormance. I love jon's hair

  • omg i know why all the girls loved him he is sooo hot when he first came out . i even think he is hot now and this was way way before i was born .

    Jon is sooo HOT !!! i luv jon !!

  • kom och ta mig! :|

  • I never heard this song before but I love it. I can understand why Bon Jovi would never sing it live though... They have far to many huge hits already on their plate. I love the wind in Jon's hair ha. I don't know where you got this but THANK YOU :)

  • And they didn't write this song. some guys from Tico's former band wrote it, I think. Jon hated playing this song but the record company made them. So after the conctract is expired, they never sung it again.

  • OMG!! I NEVER thought I'd see this song sung live and of course, now Jon will never play it. Thank you for posting this from back in the day.

  • Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!! AWESOME!!

  • my favorite one

  • OMG!Awesome!I love them since 1992!Bon Jovi forever and a day...!Thanks the video!

  • i think we all would wonder as of the many electrifying bon jovi concerts from the 80s,not even one DVD was released from that era...

  • I have the New Jersey Tour on VHS tape...

  • hello! i have some 80s concert too but they also on VHS.i'm just wondering when will da band release a concert from da 80s on DVD?

  • Love it love it love it!! Thanks for posting it!! And I agree with Fritha71, I love YouTube!!!

  • tat is rare song 2 see live but gotta love tat song thx 4 video

  • holy shit , this is rare.

  • no single Bon Jovi video is rare as they have so many fans from old and new 1(and from both, as me :P) that there is no single song that hasn't a video here, thats fine:P

  • Absolutely freaking AMAZING and something I never thought I would be able to see... YouTube is the greatest invention since the breakthough of the internet! :D

  • Thats right, it's rare! I would be glad to see this concert. Thanks for your posting here!

  • the hairy chest, reminiscant of Ryan Giggs.
