Aloha !

In These Arms should be moved out of the setlists. It's played one and a half key lower then the original version and therefor doesn't sound all that great anymore, plus it never did, not even back on the Keep The Faith tour. I don't care for this song, Jon doesn't put any effort in it whatsoever.

These Days also sucks nowadays, there hasn't been a great version of it the entire Bounce tour, Jon can't handle the song anymore, so if they decide to play a song from These Days, they'd better not do this one.

My choice would be Something To Believe In. I still think one of the best encores was the one on June the 5th 2001.

Encore 1: Something To Believe In / Keep the Faith
Encore 2: It's My Life / Someday I'll Be Saturday Night / Wanted Dead Or Alive

Fans were absolutely surprised when Tico started drumming the intro for Something To Believe In, and the atmosphere was truely great. In my opinion the encore should not have songs in it that you're expecting at all, they should just be randomly picked songs they do to give you that extra, and shouldn't be part of a standard setlist like what happens to be the case with Bon Jovi and many other bands. Metallica does it right though, they just decide to play 2 randomly picked songs as an encore, which makes it unpredictable.

Salaam Aleikum,
