Default Best of Bon Jovi live for my niece.

Aloha !

My niece is getting into Bon Jovi more and more, and now I promised her a best of Bon Jovi live, since their live album isn't really representing what Bon Jovi is capable of. I decided to only include soundboard recording, since someone like her is not really into bootlegs and can't appreciate audience recordings.

Now my question is, what would you put on one CD ? I just want to make one CD. It's hard since it hardly fits on one CD. So far I've got :

1. Keep The Faith - Wembley 1995
Because of the Jungle screams in it.
2. Undivided - Shepherds Bush 2002
Because of the intro speech Jon gave about the war.
3. Next 100 Years - Toronto 2000
Because of the guitar solo.
4. Dry County - Milton Keynes 1993
Because of the speach before the guitar solo and because of the guitar solo itself.
5. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead ~ Jumping Jack Flash - Milton Keynes 1993
Because of the crowd interaction during the "oh yeah"-part, and the great fun that is in this song.
6. I'd Die For You (acoustic) - Yokohama 1996
7. In These Arms (acoustic) - Yokohama 1996

Both to show what Bon Jovi is capable of when playing acoustic.
8. These Days - Live From Johannesberg
Because of it being the best live version from These Days ever I think.
9. Always - Wembley 1995
Because of it being the best version of Always ever with it's spectacular ending.
10. Little Wing - Milton Keynes 1993
Because of it being one of the greatest intro's for Wanted.
11.Wanted Dead Or Alive - Milton Keynes 1993
Because of it being their anthem.
12.Livin' On A Prayer - Cincinnatti 1990
Because of the fact that it can't be missed on a live collection, and this is simply the best recording of it ever, one where Jon still sings this song.

This perfectly fits on a 80 min CD recordable. Did I overlooked anything ? If yes, which song and with which song should I roulate it ?

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan
