Eight Gigs: Bon Jovi

Tue., Feb. 28, 7:30 p.m., Golden 1 Center, $16-$330

Back in the day, the guys in Bon Jovi were MTV darlings who had countless other acts trying to ape their sound. What separated the band from the glam-rock diaspora, however, was the band’s songwriting skills and a keen attention to melody. Their current 20-city trek is dubbed “This House Is Not For Sale” in support of their latest release, which came out in November 2016. For those who’ve never seen the band live, expect a set heavy on the hits and, of course, their latest platter. Not bad for Tuesday night, Sacramento. Not bad at all. 500 David J Stern Walk, www.bonjovi.com.
