99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1989!
That year we rocked out to Bon Jovi as they brought their New Jersey Syndicate Tour to Hartford’s XL Center (formerly the Hartford Civic Center). In 1989 Bon Jovi hit the road in support of its fourth studio album, “New Jersey,” which featured hits Lay Your Hands on Me, Bad Medicine and I’ll Be There for You. Joining them on the tour were fellow New Jersey rockers Skid Row.
Today we look back at that 1989 show in Hartford…
