Auckland, New Zealand Videos

Now onto the Vector Arena show in Auckland, New Zealand on December 5th 2010. Its awesome going thru all these videos and the great memories of those nights but also the fun we all had, before, during and after the shows till the early hours of the next morning!!

I have included my Bed Of Roses video again, this time still in HD so hopefully it is a bit more clearer to view.

Enjoy......


The Beginning of Bad Medicine


Bad Medicine and Shout!!

More Wellington Videos.

The Wellington Crowd at Westpac Stadium. LOL, Deb makes herself known!!!!

Its My Life!!



And a good part of Keep The Faith Finale......



And last but not least (just found this one, fancy missing the encore!)

Wanted!! Is this New Zealand or New Jersey Jon asks?? .......

Back to New Zealand shows.......

Had a couple of requests for these videos. Unfortunately a couple of them are not full songs but you still will get a good feel for them.

Just noticed after editing and watching it a few times.... When Richie is singing LYHOM you can see how much he has been working out lately. In a interview on NZ TV he did say he is hitting the gym every day. Starting to show Richie. Im sure you will be making some darksiders very happy.

Sue, Im still looking for your request, but until then, enjoy the solo Jon does in Sleep!!

Its so hot and muggy here and the cicadas are chirping away. Really sounds like summer now. Anyway, enjoy everyone, will upload more later on.

These two are for Nicki!

Intro and Blood on Blood, Wellington, New Zealand. 4/12/10 :-)

Bon Jovi, I'll Be There For You, Wellington, New Zealand 4/12/10
Have to say this is one of my favourite videos I took. Love it.



When We Were Beautiful, Wellington, New Zealand 4/12/10

Jon paying a tribute to the 29 Pike River Miners that lost their lives the week or so before.

Sydney Night 1

Heres a few videos from the first night in Sydney. We were in the pit. IBTFU one is great, could watch it and watch it. Richies gives a nice wink at the beginning and also later on towards the end.

PS.... LOL, I dont sing when im recording so its not me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL.




Old Time Rock N Roll, Sydney, first night. Get the nice movement at 2.27!!




and... Saturday Night on the outer circle with David, Jon, Richie and Tico.

Singing in the rain with Jon!

I finally have it sorted! (Thanks for your help Nicki!!). I can now shrink and watermark my videos and upload them alot quicker than before so will start putting heaps up now. Any requests??

Ideally I would have loved to have put them up in order, i.e. Wellington NZ, Auckland NZ and Sydney but that wont be happening, so will just do them as I come across them and upload them here for you. Have had a few requests to put up the ones of Sydney and the downpour and the boys singing out on the outer circle. That was just amazing and I am so pleased I was able to capture. We were in the Pit so it was taken from behind them. But i need to apologise for some of the sound as the rain got in the camera and pretty sure its stuffed now (was brand new too - dems the brakes!)

Sunday 19th December - Sydney

Here is Jon singing What Do You Got.



After singing What Do You Got Jon got the rest of the band out to sing Squeeze Box....




Saturday Night. This is after being out on the outer circle and getting drenched.




All Night Long! Sydney night number 3.

Take me back to 1989........

Now lets all go back to 1989 (AND 1995), when Bon Jovi first came to New Zealand (Jon said it was in 1987 at the Vector Arena, but sorry Jonny, you got that wrong). Anyway, here are some pics of that time when we met them.......... and at a signing in Auckland. (Have some more and will upload later but have to get them again as they went up with a puff of smoke when the brand new laptops Hard drive died last week).

Thanks D for allowing me to share these!

Ok, memories are that they smelt so devine. LOL, thats all I remember! (seriously) It was late afternoon and i gather they hadnt been up for long and freshly showered. Didn't stop Richie from having a beer tho. Funny I can't remember seeing that when we met them, but its obvious in the pics, lol.

Jon playing tennis at Aucklands, Stanley Street Tennis Centre - 1989




























This one was taken in 1995 at Auckland Airport arriving for the These Days tour.

Bon Jovi The Circle Tour - Behind The Scenes Epix

I cant wait to see the whole movie or dvd when it comes out and this video just took me back to when we were there. Fantastic!!!

I now have a new laptop (again!) and hope to upload more videos very soon.

Bed of Roses - Auckland, ohhh and a geography lesson lol

Okay, with this video I have used a programme to convert it from a massive 600MB Mpeg file to a smaller FLV file but unfortunately I loose the HD and clarity. I thought I would upload it anyway and see what you think. Let me know if you can see it all clearly enough. I am having trouble uploading the massive files and they get to 90% then bomb, which is a right pain in the backside.


Another gorgeous day here today. And the holiday makers and tourists can go back now to their own cities and countries and leave our little bit of paradise to us lol. There were two cruise ships in yesterday and Down at Mount Maunganui it was bedlam, never seen it like that before. Ohh what i will do is upload some pictures of where I live to give you all a idea of what im talking about and give you all a geography lesson lol. We live on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand (New Zealand is a island and has a two islands, the North Island and the South Island). On the map we are in the Bay of Plenty and near the town that says Tauranga.
















Mount Maunganui and the main beach and also looking back down towards Papamoa Beach where i live.


























(Papamoa Beach looking back up to the Mount)

More videos from Auckland.....

Keep an eye on this post as I will keep putting more and more videos to this one.

Here is When We Were Beautiful. Jon dedicated this song to the 29 New Zealand Miners that lost their lives just days before which was really nice......

Happy 2011!!

Good Morning everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful new years eve last night and for most of you, still having your new years eve that you are having fun and all staying safe. We had a lovely new years eve and went out for dinner then I went to the Mount to be the Mum Taxi and pick up the boys and their girlfriends after midnight from the huge celebrations at Mount Managanui, party meca of NZ. 40,000 people apparantly and all had a good time. Watched the fireworks and then the boys found me easily which was great!

Uploaded some more videos overnight. Sue! The first one is just for you sunshine! (Keep the groaning down to a low level will ya!!??)
