Bon Jovi - Live in Australia 1993 (2024)

Bon Jovi, Virgin Megastore, Melbourne, Australia 10th October 1993 Triple J FM. This is a powerhouse in-store performance by Bon Jovi from 1993's Keep the Faith Tour, which saw the band perform some two-hundred concerts and promo gigs on multiple continents over 15 months. This impromptu gig for fans at Melbourne' s Virgin Megastore on the 10th of October was broadcast by Triple J FM and features a superb set including the classic hits, Livin' On A Prayer, Bed of Roses and Wanted Dead Or Alive.

Keep the Faith was the band's stab at reinvention and would find them at their most confident, spelling a colossal, artistic step forward. Despite the collage of influences, Bon Jovi's signature was all over it, albeit with a more pronounced social conscience and marked a milestone for the band. What made Bon Jovi such a fascinating study in the 1990's is that they proved their worth by actually improving with every record they made. They became a better band and found a way to evolve. Even on the overly ambitious Keep the Faith you can hear the sense of adventure in those songs. This amazing performance has become an essential collectors item for any self respecting Bon Jovi fan and a welcome addition to their canon.
