The New Jersey Syndicate Tour, Jersey Syndicate Tour, New Jersey Syndicate Brotherhood Tour, or New Jersey Tour, was a concert tour by American hard rock band Bon Jovi that ran from 1988 to 1990. The massive, highly successful world tour was put on in support of the band's multi-platinum 1988 album New Jersey.
[edit] Background
The tour was very grueling and exhausting and led to the band's hiatus at the tour's conclusion. Bon Jovi had toured heavily since 1984 and the tour put pressures on the band's relationships with each other and their families, on their health, and their emotions. The tour was often noted for its extended musical performances of songs, which would often run twice the length of the album track as well as raw emotional vocal performances by Jon Bon Jovi. Jon had to enlist the help of a vocal coach to help sustain his voice and Richie Sambora would often help out more on the high notes. The band would also perform some of their songs in acoustic format, signaling a change in musical style and maturation of the band.
The concert performances on the Jersey Syndicate Tour featured vivid pyrotechnics, a catwalk elevated above the crowd, and Jon entering the stage through a hole in the stage. The concerts also required extensive security due to the band's iconic status as major rock stars of the time.
[edit] Tour footage used in music videos
In addition, Bon Jovi shot the music videos for "Lay Your Hands on Me", "I'll Be There for You", and "Blood on Blood" during performances on the tour, and recorded footage for their video releases Access All Areas and New Jersey: The Videos on this tour.
The band also headlined the Moscow Music Peace Festival during this time.
