The first of many mishaps on that tour.
I still think that Jon challenged fate by calling it "Because we can".

Does the show start at 7:30pm or there's some supporting act before?

I'm talking myself into staying up for this... I believe I'm *only* six hours ahead so it's not too crazy

From what I gather it's support from 7.30pm ish. Not sure what time BJ are on, I'd doubt any later than 8.30pm local

I would join you but playoff hockey is on the horizon and the preds had a big game today that required a lot of alcohol. Also, I already know the set list so... meh

I'm very underwhelmed by the predictable, safe setlists. I want to be surprised. I'd definitively wouldn't pay to see the standard setlist we are getting this tour even though in theory it's miles better than 2013 (or at least I like the majority of the songs). The repetition is overkill and makes me almost don't want to hear the songs again.

Having said that, there's a small chance to get a similar show to Philadelphia's, just a few tweaks, lots of energy and the return of Mr. JBJ frontman extraordinaire. The standard I'd expect from this band is really basic: a balanced setlist with the hits that I don't care about but have to be there, quality semi-regulars, good new songs and one suprise (or a couple...) for the encore. Give me this and I'd come back for more. I don't need a 3hr show with three encores if it means Jon would only lift his eyes from the teleprompter to smile and pose so tomorrow's reviewers can write a generic "this band is going strong after 30+ years with a frontmant whose megawatt smile still makes the crowd swoon".

I want an honest and fun show and it seems that Jon can't do both things at the same time at the moment, long shows with lots of changes and working his ass off to sell the songs. I'd take a good energetic performance of the same tired setlist then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just got here. Very underwhelmed by the merchandise. Management puts absolutely no effort into the shirts or hats. Just as well considering a piece of crap t-shirt is $50. Ridiculous.

Management should go to a Def Leopard show to get some ideas.
