21 Nov Concert Review: Richie Sambora Blends New & Old At Henry Fonda Show

Richie Sambora performed material from his new album “Aftermath of A Lowdown” along with a few Bon Jovi classics in a 2 hour set that had Los Angeles rocking. The show was a benefit for Hurricane Sandy will all profits going to the Red Cross.

The new material was strong and his band was spot in with David Ryan Harris backing him up on guitar. BTW, if you get to Sambora’s solo shows, make sure to get there early as David Ryan Harris is also the opening act.

Sambora kept the crowd enthused throughout the show. He said “I know you guys want to hear the Bon Jovi stuff and I promise you, we will get to it.” They did, but the new material was so strong, it was an added bonus.

I heard from two other concert-goers they enjoyed Richie’s take on “I’ll Be There For You” and “Livin’ On A Prayer” because they feel Richie’s voice is fuller than Jon’s nowadays.

For good measure, Sambora even covered “Hungry Heart” by Bruce Springsteen. At the time of writing, there are no further Sambora solo shows listed and he is slated to start touring with Bon Jovi in early 2013.-DocFB
