These Days or Living in Sin or whatever are not 'rare' songs at all, it may be rare in terms of being played live but jesus, are you meaning to tell me that there are large portions of the audeince without the New Jersey or These Days album?! thats a scary thought. New jersey is one of theur biggest selling albums. These Days was a hit single in europe.
Radio Saved my life may be considered a rarity i guess, but no way should the other album tracks. The fans should know the songs!
Once again its the unfortunate situation that we find that a huge portion of BJs audience today is still made up of the 'casual fan' - in the US more than others, and this may be the case why theyr still selling out the bigger venues.

Unfortunately I couldnt agree more... Too bad the musical historys arent switched between US and the rest of the World.. Then we wouldve had more top forties from the second half of their career... All I know is I missed the summer leg of Bounce due to being on a cruise... I thought nothing of it as I had seen them twice that tour already... Then they pulled that acoustic set list and Id DIe for You and THese days...
Point being... Maybe they realize that when they come around an area a third time, theyre getting at least some fans that would pay a third time... will we get as good as the European set lists (at least in our minds)? No. But I missed Die For You and Days once.. it wont happen again... at least I wont run the risk...
