New Jersey to be played in 2018?

Maybe saying most of it was lofty, no, but at that point three of those weren't done too much post 2000. Considering they were doing Lay your hands, I'll be there for you and Love for Sale all during that leg of the tour in that period of time I should say they came close to KNOWING how to play most of it.

If they were ever gonna do a full album night of either SWW or NJ it was during the O2 shows in 2010. Jon even planted the seed for the idea prior to the tour but it never came to be.
I actually genuinely believed they were gonna do it. They only had to rehearse Without Love and Social Disease and they had a SWW night. Really a missed opportunity as Jon's voice really could have done it back then.

I could imagine Phil X playing Homebound Train. And that's it.

Jon doesnt wanna dwell in the past. He wants to be taken as significant current day song writer.

This alone prevents any "anniversary tours".

And its a shame. Everyone does them these days.

But even if Jon doesnt admit it, Slippery + New Jersey are the most memorable albums of classic Jovi.
