Undivided was played live quite frequently on the Bounce Tour and I think it got a few airings on the HAND Tour as well - Seb will know.

Undivided, The Distance, Hook Me Up and even Misunderstood worked rather well and a lot, lot better than songs like I Love This Town or anything off The Circle.

Jon said in an interview with Red Beard, which was posted around the release of The Circle but I'm almost certain it was recorded around 2008 for the 20th anniversary of New Jersey, where he said he prefers Bounce to Slippery When Wet.

I would guess the reason so few songs from Bounce are played today is due firstly to the fact that Bounce was not a commercial success (and that seems to be everything to Jon) and secondly that the songs have quite a dark sound and wouldn't really fit with a lot of the other songs in the set.

I doubt it is due to Jon or the band disliking the album. There's plenty of songs that Jon obviously loves (Mystery Train, Bells of Freedom, Welcome To Wherever You Are etc) but doesn't play because they don't get the sort of reaction that We Got It Going On or Captain Crash gets. It's a shame because I think most of the songs from Bounce work great live and would really add something to the shows now.

Seen as they don't play any of the album tracks anymore it would be safe to say they disowned it.

Hopefully the master recording is buried deep somewhere in Jersey.

I would love to see Undivided, Everyday, Bounce, & Misunderstood live at one point.

I think Bounce (the song), Everyday, and Hook Me Up worked pretty good live. Bounce worked nice as an opener. Undivided and Misunderstood are my other 2 favorites off the album, but those 2 just didn't keep their magic live (Undivided was OK, Misunderstood was pretty hit and miss). And again, I point it at the live key change. It works on many songs from today and yesterday. TBH, I like Prayer tuned down better than the album version. Same with Wanted. But not really on Undivided and Misunderstood.

I would welcome Bounce tracks in every setlist! Last time I heard "Everyday" was in 2006 and it rocked!!!

AFAIK it wasn't played at all on the HAND tour, and only got one airing on the LH tour.
