Bon Jovi Planning to Perform Rarities on 'Circle' Tour

Agreed, but the album isn't selling that badly. In the US anyway, it's held up pretty well sales wise. It's chart position has been rather low since the debut, but it's actually pretty much on pace with the last few albums.

WTF is all this shit about where people come from having anything to do with what songs they like???

I agree completely. I also would love to hear the entire album, mixed with hits and some rarities. And I also think that casual fans who didn’t buy TC and still go to any concert on the next tour would find some songs of TC great and buy the album afterwards. Let’s face it, casual fans know max. 5-10 BJ hits and that’s it. Therefore I think it is a good way to promote the new album for the casual fans. Die hards will have it already anyway so they want to hear how the new songs sound live (at least I want).

Agree again. I don’t care how the album sells as long as I personally like it. Do some of you like (or dislike) the album that sells 1 million copies more than if it would have sold 10 million copies? Does it make the songs sound better (or worse) for you? I don’t get what’s the point in that sales numbers as an argument in discussion whether they should play the entire album or not.

Me too. I’d love to hear These Days, Something to Believe in, Dry County…and my favourite KTF again of course. And I hope they won’t play WSYCGH and ILTT

Guys he has said it before, but this time I talked to him about it personally.

It will get done.

checkmate.

just wait and see....save the thread

come back at me if it doesnt happen - but when it does....lest you not forgot from whence the info came....

happy holidays

dream away

Until they break out "She's A Mystery" and we can all blame you.

I would LOVE to hear some rarities at the Detroit show on St. Patty's Day. It's gonna be great to see them that day anywho, but throw in some rare songs and it'll be awesome! Here's to hopin Jon keeps his word, and Detroit is in dire need of some good tunes from the past, each time they've came here its been strictly the hits aside from TRSMLT and TD (Richie)(not very rare lol).

So basically, Jon will omit Always when he doesn't feel like hitting the notes, and the band is still under the illusion that Keep the Faith is a song that needn't be played every night. Fantastic.

Personally, I'd be fine hearing The Circle in it's entirety, but I agree that it'd go over horrible with audiences. Knowing our luck, the two or three times they do play the whole album are the only times they'll play anything off the album other than the first four tracks and occasionally Live Before You Die just to kill the mood.

Am I the only one who thinks Keep The Faith has soudned like ass live ever since 2000?

Aloha !

Playing an entire album in front of an audience that doesn't know it is pretty pointless. There are no songs on the album that will convert a casual fan into a bigger fan and will make them buy the album. They didn't have any hits with this album because the casual fan didn't care. What's the point of playing 12 songs when your audience isn't coming to your show to hear the new songs anyway? Just because you, and pretty much all of Jovitalk think it's a good album doesn't mean it'll go over well in a live setting. If the album had been a hit it'd been a great move to play all of it, people would actually want to hear it. Now they just don't care at all, so why bother in the first place?

I think I liked Keep the Faith best on the 2001 One Wild Night tour actually. It also seemed good every other time I've seen it
