Since I honestly was suprised by the big amount of positive responses to the "Old Clips" video I had uploaded recently, I thought about continuing with it. Whereas the last one was probably edited onto VHS tapes before I was even born and just a little cleaned up and uploaded by me, this time around, I went through my archives to see what stuff was there. I gotta say that I was never too interested in collecting endless bits and pieces of interview snippets. It was probably my passion for collecting VHS tapes that killed this. For those who came in past that era: Sometimes you had 4-hour tapes filled with two or three minute snippets and endlessly forwarded through those just to find maybe one live performance in a TV show. More ofthen that not, there were four or five TV reports of the same show following each other with maybe one different picture edit in them :D
However, half of these actually came from VHS tapes I had transferred, others were on various compilations that came in over the years.
I don't make time lists for these, but from rare appearances on American Bandstand in '85 to a band-only video of Only Lonely to Jon's appearance at the second installement of Farm Aid to a nice interview with all band members - there's a lot for you to discover!
All videos were all individually a little readjusted to correct major issues and the highest frequencies slightly lowered to make the tape hiss more bearable. Enjoy the nostalgia trip!

Also make sure to check out the new website dedicated to Bon Jovi Tours that a friend and I are working on:
https://bjtours.jimdo.com/
It's steadily growing and includes a lot of background info and trivia on the albums as well as a lot of setlists (older tours are still under construction, but constantly added).

    Awww, most of those interviews/snippets I still know off by heart.... πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆmy old video tapes are so worn out from watching over and over again back in the day that I don't dare to put them in the recording device ever again 😜anyways, the days you spent in front of the TV watching MTV just not to miss a teeny snippet of your favourite band...πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚Thanks for sharing
  • Dreams come true at 23. It must have been a treat for the Wildwood teens to hear Jon Bon practicing to his Kiss records in his own backyard.If only we could time travel...❀

    At 46:00, OMG, how gorgeous is Richie! Jon too but Richie is breathtaking. Wow, so beautiful and talented, both of them. And those voices; and both are so articulate.
