The Ford Center was packed with 16,000 Jon Bon Jovi fans Tuesday night as the rocker lit the venue in a blaze of glory.

In his Oklahoma City stop on the Lost Highway Tour, the band Daughtry lived the American rock and roll dream opening for the legendary Bon Jovi. Daughtry, the "American Idol” alum, sang his heart out on his top 10 hits, "Home” and "Over You,” proving he is more than just reality TV dressing.

Then Bon Jovi hit the stage with his tour theme song "Lost Highway.” He belted out hit after hit including "(You Want To) Make A Memory” which he crooned from an audience point of view in the 115 section perched on a rail in the midst of his ravenous fans.

He sang classics and new tunes like "Who Says You Can't Go Home,” "I'll Be There for You,” "Summertime,” "Runaway,” and "Song for the Broken Hearted.” For his encore, he busted out "Wanted Dead or Alive.”

Overall, it was an amazing rock and roll concert that I would relive any time.
