“Stay alive, the hardest part is the night” The main character is battling to succeed however he is just a pawn in a losing game. This theme of working hard and still struggling in life would be done to multi-platinum success with “Livin On A Prayer” and “Born To Be My Baby”. Yes, we live in a world of Top Forty charts that focus on the songs that moguls believe are hits however ask anybody and they will tell that the non-hit tracks from an album had as much impact as the “hits”. Then I saw a live performance video clip of it on the “Breakout” video and it cemented itself as a favourite. I’ve never heard “The Hardest Part Is The Night” anywhere else except in my own comfort. This is what the album experience is all about. What makes the track is the synths however there is still that Richie Sambora grit with some tasty virtuoso guitar work in the metallic interlude and solo section.Īnd let’s not forget the harmonies. It is from the “7800 Degrees Fahrenheit” album released in 1985. Written by Jon Bon Jovi, David Bryan and Richie Sambora. Of course everyone knows the singles and even some of those songs have now slipped into obscurity and the radio platforms never go deep enough when they curate their playlists.
Then again, are there really any obscure Bon Jovi tracks. So I started thinking about some semi-obscure tracks. The running time for the show was just over two and a half hours. I remember watching them at the recent Sydney show and thinking, man it would be so cool if they brought some of their more obscure songs and made a real night of it. This view point was even more evident when the final Australian leg of the tour was renamed to “Because We Did” from “Because We Can”. During the turmoil of Sambora’s departure, Jon Bon Jovi said that he is not beholden to anyone and that the show will go on.
