Was Bon Jovi really in Miami? Or was it Dania Beach?

DANIA BEACH, Florida – South Florida is talking about exactly where Bon Jovi performed during the primetime opening special on Wednesday night.

It was charged to tens of millions of viewers as coming from Miami, but which pier was the band on when they sang the Beatles’ “Here Comes The Sun” with the ocean in the background?

Licenses were in fact withdrawn at several locations in South Florida, including the Dania Beach Pier, where Local 10 News can confirm that Bon Jovi was filmed on January 15 at dawn under the supervision of the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

It is also possible that the video contains images shot from other locations.

The people who came to Dania Beach Pier on Thursday were connecting the dots.

“Oh my God, I wish I were here!” said fan Luciana Azanha. “I love Bon Jovi and I’m always here. I come by bicycle every day, a pity I didn’t know. I’d love to see you. “

Perhaps it blames COVID-19 for the mission being kept so secret that the city of Dania Beach also didn’t know about Bon Jovi’s presence in the city.

The city recently posted a statement saying it is proud of Dania Beach and the pier was chosen as one of the locations.

“The Dania Beach Pier is the jewel of our city and we are very grateful to see it shine on such a monumental day,” said the city.

We learned that Gil Green, known for creating videos with Miami rapper Pitbull and the Miami Heat, directed the filming of Bon Jovi.

The licensing process actually goes through the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, also known as Visit Lauderdale, which handles film licenses for the county.

They say that Jon Bon Jovi himself did not apply for the license, but that a description of the license included:

“Video clip on the Dania Beach Pier filming a performance; photo of a singer playing guitar on the edge of the pier while the sun is rising in the background. Minimum crew, less than 20 people. “
