Here’s in exclusive at all web fake the just released by Vivid Sound Records / Straight Music – only in Japan – “Countdown; Live In Tokyo NYE 1988-89“, the BON JOVI concert captured in The New Year’s Eve performance at the Tokyo Dome.
That was in fact a festival named ‘Sanyo Heat Beat Live ’89’ featuring a gorgeous combination of Bon Jovi, Ratt, Kingdom Come, and Britny Fox – all bands playing December 31, 1988, and then again January 1st, 1989. The concert was prepared for broadcast on FM and TV, so the audio quality is very good.
At the time BON JOVI was at their peak, with their album ‘New Jersey’ at the top of the rock charts, and they were the headliners.
All the world-wide hits were performed that night – ‘Bad Medicine’, ‘You Give Love A Bad Name’, ‘Born To Be My Baby’ but also tracks that were radio hits especially in Japan, like ‘Tokyo Road’, ‘Blood On Blood’, ‘I’d Die For You’, etc.
The last song of the set is a cover of Rolling Stones “All Over Now,” with all bands performing the song (Bon Jovi, Ratt, Kingdom Come, and Britny Fox) on stage starting the midnight countdown.
