Yes we know, but since we haven't seen the show, we can only discuss the setlist.
Nothing wrong with that.

And by the way: I know I'm bitching about this but that encore may be the worst I've seen from the band.
The way you end a show is really important to the experience as a whole, and they can't keep **** around with it like that.

Agree 100%

The encore back at the O2 in 2007 was:

Any other day
Someday I'll be saturday night

Hallelujah
The last night
Wanted dead or alive

Keep the faith

Now that is the way to end a show. A couple of new songs, three classics and a good cover version thrown in too.

I wish they would stop being stupid and chucking in average album tracks and covers over good choice classics etc. It may just be Jon's voice not holding up too well by the time the encore comes.

30,000 Bon Jovi fans can't be wrong
The Press | Monday, 28 January 2008

American rocker Jon Bon Jovi struck an appropriate pose as he performed Shot Through The Heart with namesake mega-band Bon Jovi at the AMI Stadium in Christchurch last night. The band has sold more than 100 million albums.

Fans from as far afield as Auckland and Wellington flocked to the concert to relive the 1980s.

About 30,000 attended the gig. Bon Jovi was the second big-name act to perform in Canterbury in two days after Joe Cocker performed in Waipara on Saturday.

i wouldnt mind hearing Complicated or Story Of My Life at the odd show...but i think its shite them playing both these tunes at the same gig now we aint on the HAND tour..they neither are that good...not when you look at their back catalogue anyway!

gd to see In These Arms, Blaze and BOB again tho...

[(Don't)Lie_to_me]

Too many covers.

Knockin on Heavens Door = WOW but otherwise **** OFF with the stupid covers - especially in the bloody encore.

Does Jon not realise he has 10 albums of great songs to pick from...?

OK 10 in general but not ten great albums then. Keep on slamming the band - I like it!
