Access All Areas
Released : 1985
Running Time : 87 minutes approx.
Release Note : " Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. I think that's how Emerson, Lake and Palmer said it, and truer words could not be spoken. In October, '88 we set out on the Jersey Syndicate Tour of the World. Over three million people in 23 countries were our heartbeat, and 232 shows were our souls.
These 90 minutes are just a page out of what's now a memory. Watching this film made me realize why I wanted to be in a Rock-n-Roll band to begin with. Just sit back, turn up the volume, and enjoy the ride! See you on the road." JB
Review on Movie Mirror : This 90-minute home video is a classic definitely worth getting your hands on. Access All Areas documents the Jersey Syndicate Tour of the World, during which Bon Jovi played before three million people in 23 countries over the course of 232 shows.
Jon himself says of this tape "Watching this film made me realize why I wanted to be in a rock'n'roll band to begin with." The video is "all access" in terms of the amount of time spent backstage with the band. You get to see David's "Elvis, the later years" impression, a lot of jamming, and a fascinating bit at the end where their last show is nearly cancelled because of a student protest. ( I - Alice King - hear tell you get to see Jon's naked butt at some point, but I couldn't find it! ) - (ha ha ha!! I found it!!!! Jon took off his trousers without noticing that the camera was watching!!! )
This tape gives a clear picture of this band from New Jersey, as well as an unblinking look at the ups an downs of life on the road. Look for it! *
