Yes, I think they are but sidestage or not, they are three really S L O W songs in a row. I get their reasons for playing all three songs and know that they have played them virtually all tour so far, just hope the order shifts soon or thats 15-20 minutes most people will be in their seats.

It sold well, although not with the insanity of the July show. But in terms of ebay and ticket brokers, the market is low.

Except for the people around them going crazy and taking cell pictures.

There is no reason to play Memory, There For You and Roses one after the other. That'll suck the life right out of any show I'm afraid. If this was 1993 and the Faith tour I could see them doing this and pulling it off, not today.

In answer to your question.... MAM is a snooze cause its so slow, IBTFY is flat out AWESOME.... but at that point its time to go back to rock, in Toronto the fans went absolutely insane for IBTFY... but once it ends there really arent many other songs they can play considering Richie is walking back to the stage and theres really no guitar in BOR until the end... this is why i predict it will stay in this spot the rest of the tour, or until they drop the stage bit. Also keep in mind Richie is playing before this set, either These Days (which sounds more somber now) or Stranger. So really its 4 straight "Slow" songs.

And lastly, this version of Bed of Roses needs to DIE, and soon. Its flat out awful and most of the fans eat it up.

Well ebay is understandable...every broker is trying to get double the price of an already expensive ticket.

To clarify, I was just asking about the tickets because I'm getting the impression the band isn't selling well in markets/cities they used to sellout easily. After all, Philadelphia, one of the cities where they sell out all the time has not soldout the second night...and perhaps the only reason the first night sold out is because its Jon's birthday, so people are expecting something "special".

Sorry for the miny rant. Just curious

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH -- there SHOULD be guitar in BOR from the beginning. When I think of the original version and what they've done to it . . . shudder. I was so thankful that they just didn't do it the night I was in Newark. I'm sure I won't be so lucky over 2 nights in Chicago.

Good point about Richie going back to the stage limiting their song selection. I agree that this version of IBTFY is awesome and I hope it stays through my two shows in April. Just watching a clip of it on YouTube gave me goosebumps.

The TLFR version of Roses is so boring and so LONG, I heard it live early last year and it's the only point during any of the ten times I've seen them live that I actually sat down. It needs to go away and soon, it's dreadful.
