CVP Assembles Shoot for Bon Jovi Performance

Red Bank, New Jersey | July, 2005

The call came in to CVP’s Red Bank studio the afternoon of July 11th. Could CVP set up a five-camera, live-switch shoot for Jon Bon Jovi’s performance that night, at the Two River Theatre? When Jon Bon Jovi’s brother Anthony asked the question, he already knew the answer. Yes, CVP would get the job done. Within hours the equipment and crew were on the move.

Jon Bon Jovi’s two-hour benefit performance at the Two River Theatre entitled Jon Bon Jovi: “Off The Record,” began at 7:00pm, and the CVP crew was ready. The intimate, ?un-plugged? concert before 300 lucky fans retraced Bon Jovi’s career going back to the eighties. Music was mixed with an informal, personal interview recounting the history of Bon Jovi’s musical career through family and band photos. Long-time friend and legendary Philadelphia DJ, Pierre Robert led the interview. CVP captured all the angles of this landmark performance. Bon Jovi’s intimate concert and interview raised $110,000 for the Two River Theatre’s educational programs for the children of Monmouth County.
