Aloha !

Fine. Here are the setlists from Pearl Jam:

Eric Clapton:

There you go. I know that with Clapton his set doesn't change a lot during the tour, but compare it to a tour before. So take into consideration that although many bands do not chance their set at all during the tour, their set does chance from tour to tour. With Bon Jovi, the sad thing is that you can predict all the staples. Every single one of them. This is something you can not do with Paul McCartney, Oasis, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, and the list goes on and on and on. When those bands go on tour, it's a surprise which hit they will play. Clapton does not play Tears In Heaven every tour. Oasis doesn't play Wonderwall every tour. Bruce Springsteen doesn't play Born In The USA every tour. Bon Jovi plays all their hits every tour, and includes the same album cuts every tour as well.

If Bon Jovi would really do a major overhaul in their sets, and would make a set on which more than half of the set hasn't been played the past tour, then there's the ability to talk about a change. Not if the same staples are played in a different order. That's called laziness.

Salaam Aleikum,
