The Songs That Take Us Back

Bon Jovi, Madison Square Garden, and the Songs That Take Us Back.

This was Lori’s 6th Bon Jovi concert and Heidi’s 3rd, so you could say we’ve had more than a few unforgettable nights with Jon.

Heidi’s favorite? Seeing him at Soldier Field in 2010 with Kid Rock opening, and then watching the two of them perform together. Lori’s favorite was that same Soldier Field concert. Maybe it was the beautiful summer night, the atmosphere, the crowd…or seeing Kid Rock and Bon Jovi share the stage. Whatever it was, it was one of those you-had-to-be-there moments.

But Madison Square Garden is pretty hard to beat. This last concert felt especially special knowing it could be the last time we see Bon Jovi live. Add four good friends, a girls’ trip, and a night in NYC, and it became one of those memories we’ll be talking about for years.

And of course, it got us thinking…

What song takes YOU back 30 years?

Not necessarily your favorite song. The one that comes on and suddenly you’re 25 again. Maybe you’re driving with the windows down, getting ready for a night out, dancing with your friends, falling in love—or just living a life that seemed a whole lot simpler. 

What’s the song that instantly takes you back?
