Melbourne Melodies

Bon Jovi's Keep the Faith Tour ran across the first half of 1993. Performed in support of the band's multi-platinum 1992 album of the same name, as of the end of June '93 the tour was extended. Initial dates were played across the US and Canada through February and March '93, before moving across to Europe for April and May. And the first half of June '93 saw Jovi performing a further 11 dates across Japan - the band's longest spell to date in Asia. And that was supposed to have been it. In the event however, a bit of jiggery-pokery and numerous frantic phone calls by tour manager Dave Davies resulted, to the great delight of fans from territories into which the tour was now extended, in Bon Jovi continuing their live jaunt for a further six months. Now renamed the 'I'll Sleep When I'm Dead Tour,' a further six weeks of dates back in the US was followed by another chapter in Europe and six more stops in non-Japanese Asian countries, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines. On October 4th the lads crossed to Australia for shows in five cities 'down-under'. After playing in Perth and Adelaide on the 8th and 9th, Jovi were delighting fans from the Melbourne area of this enormous country, performing at the National Tennis Centre in the town's Finders Park. On their second day in the mainland's southern-most city, the band took some time out to make an additional appearance at the area's Virgin Megastore. But not for the Jovi boys the average in-store appearance by the average rock band - that of signing a few albums and throwing some cheaply produced T-Shirts into the crowd, before exiting out the back door and jumping straight back into the Limo before the fans realized they'd departed. Bon Jovi, being a wholly different breed to such pedestrian acts, spent three hours in the store, a third of which was taken up performing the incredible set presented on this CD.
