Shot Through The Heart

Hello!
Well let's get down to business. Rock and Roll. Bon Jovi came through this week and Monday night I had the luxury of attending VIP with my brother, thanks to my dear and so-high-up-there friend, Little G. He worked on the crew of the Moby tour during the US tour doing lighting and rigging and has been touring with Bon Jovi the past few months. This was a homecoming show, so needless to say it was large. 165,000 people filling Giant's Stadium. AHH! Just the size of the crowd was entertaining, and John Bon Jovi ate it UP! But he was fantastic, his voice sounded great, and the band was HOT. The technology of their stage set-up was absolutely breathtaking. The largest LCD high-definition screen I have ever seen in my life (and 1 of only 2 in the world used on tours, the other is Madonna as I was told). Big deal. The pictures give a good representation.

Davis and I before the show. We stood in the front of house sound tent during the show (good thing considering the skys opened up about 4 songs from the end).


OK Check out this screen! The man in the FLESH!


Ok now check out this crowd!!! That's what Bon Jovi was seeing! We were in the left tent on the field.


Keyboards, Yeah!


The amazing stage just before the encore. That's an exact replication of the NY skyline as seen from the Jersey coast! WOW!!


Davis is working on a private yacht that is sailing up and down the east coast for the summer. Luckily he came through NY at the right time to catch a good rock show! His boat is beautiful, check it out against the New York Skyline.


Ok there's more on the life of Luci coming up soon!
Love, and happy summer fun like thunderstorms and swimming parties,
Luci

Morning!

Hi! First of all I would like to thank all of my amazing friends for visiting this site and posting comments! It is so fun for me to read them! And to my new friends (i.e. those who I haven't actually met in person) awesome! I don't know how you found this site, but keep your comments coming, I love them! Thank y'all!

Good morning. I have been up for more than an hour already. You'd think I was a morning person this morning. I did a quick workout of Budokon and situps. Situps are the new exercises I do for my voice training (because until now I have successfully managed to complete no more than 4 situps in my entire lifetime), oh yes! Did I mention I am taking voice lessons? From an absolutely amazing hard core rocker percussionist female who treats each lesson like a boot camp physical training course!!! Need I say more?

Speaking of Rock and Roll! A friend of mine from the Moby tour, drum-tech EXTRAORDINAIRE Randy Brown, passed through NY recently on The New Cars/Blondie tour! Awesome! I saw both shows. The first night I was fortunate enough to stand right off stage at the monitor desk WITH a live feed into headphones so I could hear everything. AMAZING! The New Cars are made up of Elliot Easton and Greg Hawkes of the original Cars, Kasim Sultan, Prairie Prince, and Todd Rundgren who was doing the lead vocals. Wow! What a bunch of absolutely stellar musicians! I got so excited watching them up close like that! Plus I fell in love with the 80s master keyboardist Greg!

My view from the monitor desk (Kasim, Todd, and Elliot)


Prairie on drums and Greg on Keys


The whole gang during 'Bang The Drum' (they're all playing ukuleles!)


Before the show at Jones Beach. Randy and I climbed to the top to have a look at the view - breathtaking!


Unfortunately the pictures I have of Blondie are very very blurry and not worth posting. But I will just say this: Deborah Harry was in a chartreuse suit that came off layer by layer!
Also unfortunate is that Elliot broke his collar bone when the bus stopped quickly to avoid an accident, so the tour has been postponed until sometime later this year - maybe September. I was so fortunate to see the last two shows!

I will be back to post more action soon!
Love!
Luci
