We headed north to Tel Aviv.
We got dropped off, rested a bit, and then headed out on our own.
Then we grabbed a cab and headed to Yarkon Park.
Yarkon park is huge, and we got dropped off near where we were going, but it was still quite a walk in for the concert.
Ahead of the trip we had found out that Bon Jovi would be in town, the timing worked, so we got tickets to the show. So we carefully prepared by playing some classic Bon Jovi for the kids before the trip, and they decided they liked it.
The concert was standing room only, no seats, on the grass, with 50,000 Israelis and at least 4 Americans attending.
It seems it was about the end of Bon Jovi's European tour and unfortunately the sound system quality wasn't great and they seemed a bit tired but they still put on a good show.
It was a cool experience to hear 50,000 Israelis belting out the lyrics to It's My Life, Living on a Prayer, You Give Love A Bad Name, and other classic Bon Jovi tunes, and to raucously sing along with them.
It was a lot of fun and a neat experience.
After the concert we headed back to where we were staying and fell asleep quickly after a very long and full day.
Not bad for our last rock concert of the decade.
