Crush Tour
The Crush Tour was a worldwide concert tour by American rock band Bon Jovi, supporting their multi-platinum album Crush. This was the band's first tour since the These Days Tour of 1995–1996. It attracted 1.1 million fans in 40 arenas and stadiums across North America, Europe and Japan. During it, Bon Jovi became the last rock band to play at the old Wembley Stadium, with two sold-out concerts, before it was rebuilt.

"The Crush tour was when U2 came to our show with their management," noted Jon Bon Jovi in 2007, "and said to our manager, 'We wish we had that' – meaning a generation of kids in the audience; not just the guys who'd grown up with us in the '80s. That's what it was all about."[1]
Due to the overwhelming response, the tour was extended into 2001, renamed the One Wild Night Tour.
The DVD The Crush Tour was filmed at Letzigrund Stadion, Zürich, Switzerland on August 30, 2000 in front of 55,000 people.
