Default Setlist

Not commenting on the not-changing of the setlist night after night, here's my take on why each song is in the set and Jon probably thinks they should be:

1. This House Is Not For Sale - obvious, title track of the new album, name of the tour, and works as an opener
2. Knockout - new album track, no question here
3. You Give Love A Bad Name - hit, has to be played, especially for casuals
4. Born To Be My Baby - classic, was a single (?)
5. We Weren't Born To Follow - was a single, Jon likes it, besides being played every tour, Jon probably thinks it fits because of the US election
6. Lost Highway - Jon stated at the time that he thinks it's the best song he's ever written, so he just likes that one
7. Roller Coaster - new album track, and a great one at that, too
8. Work For The Working Man - again, most definitely influenced by the election. I get it and am one of the few who don't dislike the song
9. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead - classic, single, hit (?)
10. We Got It Goin' On - fun song, works live, gets the crowd going
11. Who Says You Can't Go Home - massive (?) hit in the US
12. It's My Life - monster hit
13. We Don't Run - new album (bonus)/BB track, rocker, no questions here
14. God Bless This Mess - new album track, and probably Jon's new anthem
15. Scars on This Guitar - Jon just likes that one, and one slow song in the set is more than fine
16. The Devil's in the Temple - new album track, Jon's statement on the music business, rocker, deserves to be there
17. Lay Your Hands On Me - classic
18. Blood on Blood - classic
19. Have a Nice Day - hit (?), always good to hear
20. Bad Medicine - classic, hit (?)
21. Keep the Faith - class, hit (?)
22. Someday I'll Be Saturday Night - classic
23. Wanted Dead or Alive - classic, hit
24. Prayer - classic, hit

So, I think the only ones being disputed are songs 5, 6 and 8 and probably the order in which they're played. I think it's a pretty good setlist. I don't even see dull parts/piss breaks, as they tend to be called on here. Vanilla? Maybe, but I wouldn't even go that far because of the return of LYHOM and Saturday Night electric, but definitely fun.

Would I be disappointed to get the exact same setlist on multiple shows? Probably, at least a bit. But it's been like that forever, even in Europe (ok, maybe there were 3-4 changes, but that's about it). Would still've had a great time!
