Great production. Loved it. Very Rattle and Hum-ish.‘Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful’ gives viewers a behind the scenes look at New Jersey’s native sons This weekend viewers can catch a behind-the-scenes glance at how these native sons have survived while other groups fell to the wayside.
Showtime will air "Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful," a black and white documentary on the group's 2008 Lost Highway World Tour, on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 9 p.m.
The film will help Bon Jovi promote their new studio album, "The Circle," which will drop Nov. 10.
The documentary, which was acquired by Showtime, goes on the road with Bon Jovi to Abu Dhabi, Dublin, Marbella, Munich, London and the closer locales of Madison Square Garden and Central Park.
The band members — Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Tico Torres and David Bryan — also do candid one-on-one interviews with director Phil Griffin, a filmmaker and photographer. They talk about the group almost breaking up, their own personal demons, their success and the loneliness of life on the road.
