Out of the four songs you refer to, Lost Highway is the most well known except for possibly Raise Your Hands (and only because it was on Slippery When Wet.)

Over there it might be, over here it's not. Both I Believe and One Wild Night were singles here, with One Wild Night cracking the European top 10 for some time in 2001. Would the band use that song to open their show I can guarantee you that it'd be going over a lot better than Lost Highway.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Believe me, I am not supporting LH as an opener. I don't mind the song, but I think it's a very poor opener.

I'm surprised at all the love that MAM has been getting in this and other threads. Was it not done much over there on the LH tour? I can't remember. It certainly was done here! I don't hate the song, but there are so many better options in that spot. And God forbid, Jon pencil in the snooze-fest double of MAM & WDYG that I witnessed a few times. Egad. I'm not bothered by the slower pace of the Circle set (or what used to be the Circle set), and I love ballads. Just give me the good ones!

It was put on the setlist several times in Europe but often exchanged for Always halfway through the set. Memory wasn't that big of a hit here, it only charted high in a few countries and that was it.

Be sure to learn the verses first, it's really the reason why Always got played over here all the time and you got Memory. Yup.

I was just on Cafepress working on a shirt. American flag and the words "Verses? There are verses?" on the front. "Gee thanks, Jon." on the back.

I love album LH, but I am not fan of the song. I have heard it few times in live. It is good song and I sang it along and jumped all the time, but I still prefer to hear other LH album songs.

MAM is my favorite ballad from a regular album in years. I love when they do it and am disappointed when I go to a show and they don't do it. Every time I've heard it live, Jon has sounded amazing. I never got to hear WDYG live so I can't comment on it.
