I know you think playing It's My Life as the second song would be great, but it isn't. Yes, it's a big hit, but it's a slow song, and when it's played live it sounds even slower. It wouldn't work and would kill the momentum.

Miss Fourth Of July and Living In Sin after another wouldn't work either. At least, not in America. We've seen how much "damage" Living In Sin alone does to a show there, so 2 slow songs that are completely unknown to most of the audience really kills a show.

Lay Your Hands On Me as the encore opener also isn't really a good idea, I think. It kills the feeling of the full band returning, as Jon would probably make it's way back to the stage only when the drum intro would be finished. Yes, you'd get the big cheering and all that stuff, but it would be for him just to return, instead of for the song he'd start to sing.

Still, your setlist indeed is one of the most realistic "dream setlists" I've seen around here. Lots and lots of people think they can write a dream setlist with just writing down their favourites in the order they appear in their mind, but it doesn't work like that.

Salaam Aleikum,

Thanks for the input.
Few quick rebuttals:
-On the two ballads, I actually agree with you. Looking back now.
Replace LIS with IBTFY as sung by Jon. How's that?
-On IML, I know it's slow live, but the song is nowhere near a momentum killer, in the US anyway. I'd say it's the most recognized BJ song after Prayer. I think it would fill Bad Name's role as intro-hit in the set nicely. The crowd energy alone could carry that song.
-As far as LYHOM, I agree with you about waiting for Jon, but think it could work if the majority of the house lights were kept off during the drum/piano intro, and blasted up at the start of the song.

My setlist, based on the song played on Lost Highway tour. I really would love to hear in Helsinki Dry County and Always (I know that Jon can't sing it anymore, but you can wish, right?

) and Thief of Hearts.

Lost Highway
Born To Be My Baby
Have a Nice Day
Summertime
You Give Love A Bad Name
Runaway
Just Older
We Got It Going On
Wild In The Streets
It's My Life
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
Any Other Day
In These Arms or I'll Be There For You (Jon)
These Days-Richie
Podium:
Bed Of Roses
Livin In Sin (Jon & Richie)
(You Want to) Make a Memory
-------------------------------
Blood Money or Blaze of Glory
Raise Your Hands
Blood on Blood
Last Man Standing
Livin' On a Prayer
Keep The Faith

Encore:
Hallelujah
Wanted Dead Or Alive
Twist & Shout
Never say Goodbye

It would be great to hear In And Out of Love too, which they have soundchecked many times.
I put Lost Highway first, 'cause I think they'll start with it anyway
I really don't want to hear Captain Crash and Who says. I hate in Who says the part" It's allright" and it's repeated too many times!

question
Hi Obie! Is it true that Jon has said he would never play anything live from 7800 F anymore and why would that be?

PS)thank for all you do Obie!
