Bon Jovi rocked Philips Arena Friday night on the second date of their "This House is Not for Sale" tour.

Since I'm in Los Angeles for the Grammy Awards on Sunday, I wasn't able to attend the Atlanta show, but instead covered Wednesday's tour opener in Greenville, S.C. You can read that review here.

But photographer Akili-Casundria Ramsess was in the house for the AJC to document Bon Jovi's Atlanta return.
