40 stadiums next year in Europe!!! Wow!

Ohhh, if Lisbon is a possibility then I'll convince my hubby to make a holiday out of it! As he already suggested it if they include Spain.

That sounds like a good idea.

Yes he is kind of hooked now lol, he'll never be like us but it is a good start. He even told me to check flights to Toronto and NY for the upcoming concerts but the flights are just insane. It'd have been great as I have friends and family in both cities and we could have made a holiday out of it.

But definitely next year! I probably prefer to do this rather than travelling to and from Glasgow in two exhausting days. I've done it a lot in the past but now with a little kid I am not up for travelling that much.

I guess that means this July will be it for US shows.

I am sure there will be a second US leg yet.

100 more shows to go - 7 will be australia and nz - that leaves another 90 odd, 40 in Europe. Still leaves another 50 shows yet, so enough to do a few other countries and US.

Thats if this is how it all turns out.

A hundred more shows?

I hope they drop The Circle tracks for those shows because they really don't work that well among the classics.

I think if this all goes ahead, it may be the last time we'll be seeing Bon Jovi.

I've been thinking that too.

Tico is 60+ (That's his real age) and I can't see him wanting to carry on or be able to keep up with the pace for much longer.

Not at all. There's supposed to be another arena leg in the first part of 2011. Jon definitely mentioned Portland, Oregon, in a phoner. And, of course, the speculation is that the tour will end in the NYC/NJ area again.

So, a lot of people say things they know others want to hear....or how about maybe a better idea. Maybe fans shouldn't hang onto his every word or Jon's for that matter.

I still maintain that Richie is clued into things a lot more than we all think, he just says these things before some of it is even final plans. He's probably right, they do have 40 stadiums booked as of right now. Shit happens and plans change. If they do, I'm not gonna sit here and boo-hoo like some of you do and go, "well Richie said this....".
