Bon Jovi brought two longtime favorites back to the stage during the third concert of the band’s nine-show Forever Tour residency at Madison Square Garden. At the July 12 performance, the group played Bed of Roses and Always live for the first time since 2019.
The concert setlist showed Bed of Roses arriving midway through the night, while Always closed the 22-song performance. Both songs made their tour debuts and gave fans a pair of ballads that had been absent from Bon Jovi concerts for several years.
The rest of the show included major hits such as Livin’ on a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name, Wanted Dead or Alive, I’ll Be There for You, and Bad Medicine.
The New York residency is still underway, with additional Madison Square Garden concerts scheduled through July 26. The nine-date run began on July 7 and marks the band’s return to major touring after Jon Bon Jovi’s recovery from vocal cord surgery.
After New York, the Forever Tour continues with scheduled performances in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
