In 1987, I photographed Bon Jovi at Alpine Valley Music Theater for the first time. Hopefully, you saw my blog a few weeks ago of their show at the Bradley Center. It was the last rock show ever at the Bradley Center here in Milwaukee.

In 1987, hair was big and stadiums rocked. Maybe leather pants were in style too!  I remember I had a gray pair about that time!

The guys were so very nice that day in 1987 with some Make a Wish Foundation kids before the show.  It was so cool to see Jon and Tico being soooo nice them.

Enjoy a look back at 1987 when you were how old?!

Thanks,

My blog today is somewhat personal. I have photographed music for many years at the Bradley Center and many people working there have been a great help to me. A few people in particular have really helped me to get things published for newspaper contributions.

Sadly, the Bradley Center had it's final show with Bon Jovi and a band called Stereo Satellite opening the show on April 29th. This was a great show and a really LOUD show even with good earplugs!

The Bradley Center is being torn down and my friends who worked there are moving on. I will miss them, as well as the venue.

So anyway, look at the Bradley Center and it's final show. Does it bring back memories for you too?

Thanks,
