Bon Jovi, Pro-Shot 'Concert For America'

It is Patriot Day in America. The day is an observance of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Twenty-two years on and the folks who lived through that day can remember it just like yesterday. We all remember where we were - what we were doing - who we were with.

Flags will be at half-staff for the remembrance, per the official Presidential Proclamation.

After the tragedy, there was a feeling of wanting to do... something to help. So Hollywood got together and performed for first responders and raised money for them and their family members. One of the best performances from The Concert For New York City was from Bon Jovi. The October 2001 event was held at Madison Square Garden. The music in the clip below starts around 12:50 - and yes, this was back when Richie Sambora was still in the band, too (he had another decade with them after this). This includes a really incredible performance of "Wanted Dead or Alive" too.
