Bon Jovi, 2008-06-14 - Belgium, Brussels

And after Punchestown it's Brussels time.

Sat, Jun 14, 2008 in Bruxelles, Belgium @ King Baudouin Stadium (Stade Roi Baudouin)

Let me just say before anything else that this was my favourite show of all 8 I saw this tour.

I went on a plane on the day before, the 13th of June at 10:10 (minus 1 hour than Madrid) in Iberia. One stop in Barajas Airport, Madrid at 12:20. From Barajas, Madrid at 13:40 to Brussels at 15:55.

In Brussels Airport (Zaventem area, Luchthaven Aeroport) I got the metro to King Baudouin Stadium (Stade Roi Baudouin) in the Heisel area of Brussels.
Near the Stadium stays the "Kinepolis Bruxelles". This is a huge building with many cinemas.

I arrive there still on the afternoon.

It was time to have a number of the Backstage and to wait. I wait the rest of the day.

Day of show, the 14th of June.

Time to get the tickets.

We had 1 band before the main event.

The band playing was Nalpin. They played for 43 minutes. They were good. I like their sound.

Finally was time for Bon Jovi. They appeard at 20h30 and played for 142 minutes.

What an amazing show it was. I will write here the setlist and then talk about the show:

RAISE YOUR HANDS
ONE WILD NIGHT
I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD / Rockin' All Over The World / Start Me Up

DRY COUNTY

My favourite show of this tour. What an amazing concert it was. An amazing stadium. Very good conditions outside the stadium. The Bon Jovi friends were all there.

After the show I went to an "After Party" in a local bar in Brussels by metro and then by foot.
It was presented by "Forever Bon Jovi and Rock Classic".
Free entrance.
With a free drink and I could win a maxi CD of "Whole Lot Of Leavin'", but I didn't won. I receive also 2 different posters of Bon Jovi in Brussels in dutch and in french. I brought many posters.
They show some Bon Jovi concerts on a giant screen. It was awsome. Many friends of mine were also there.

After the party when the bar closed almost at the end of the night I caught a taxi to the airport. Time to go home.

The plain from Brussels was at 12:20 (15th of June). One stop in Barajas Airport, Madrid at 14:35. From Barajas, Madrid at 15:50 to Lisbon at 16:05 (minus 1 hour than Madrid).

I hope you like the videos.

Next I will write the post of Glasgow on the 21st of June in Hampden Park Stadium. I was there.
