In September 2017, Bon Jovi was in the midst of promoting their album “This House Is Not for Sale,” which was released earlier that same month. This album marked a significant point in their career as it was their first after the return of guitarist Richie Sambora's longtime collaborator Phil X, who had filled in during tours since Sambora’s departure in 2013. The Rock in Rio concert demonstrates the band's resilience and ability to engage with their audience, featuring a mix of classic hits like "You Give Love a Bad Name" and newer tracks from the album. The performance not only showcased their enduring appeal as rock icons but also highlighted a phase of revitalization in Bon Jovi's sound and lineup, affirming their status in the ever-evolving music landscape. The setlist reflects a blend of nostalgia and fresh material, appealing to a diverse fanbase.
