I think he does the best that he can, at the same time, he realizes that, after touring for more than 30 years, that he can't please every fan in the world. I think back in the 80's, 90's and even the 00's, he worked very hard to put out the best show he could, and put a setlist that would make every fan happy, or at least he tried. But I think over the years, thanks to social media, he now maybe sees complaints from fans about setlists and maybe how his voice is not the same as it was in the past, and maybe before he may have paid attention to fans in social media, maybe a little too much, but I think now Jon is at a point in his career where he is at peace, and all he can do is the best that he can on stage, give the best performace he can, and if some fans don't like or not satisfied, then he can't force them to like it, it is what it is. I guess maybe I not as pickey as some ppl here, when I go to a Bon Jovi show, I just want to enjoy the music and have fun, and see the band have fun to, that to me is more entertaining than how well is Jon's voice, or what the setlist is.
Very good point.. He's probably doing everything he can to get through these shows and doesn't need social media telling him to change things. His voice capabilities are what determine the setlist every night. If he still had the pipes I'm sure the set list would impress everyone on this board. I feel really bad for Jon, I just hope he finds a way to make this tour work(I know he will). As I said earlier, his vocal trouble doesn't bother me, I still enjoy the show. However the voice trouble and lack of confidence in himself will determine the set list every night, THAT is the unfortunate part.
