That's it?
I hate to be negative but that setlist was terrible. We lost Saturday Night & Blood On Blood and didn't get any new songs. Half of the songs in the set should be dropped (pretty much everything from LH to WSYCGH should stop being played at every show). Why doesn't Jon realise that they can still play these songs, but not all of them at every show. They're not hits, they're not deep cuts. They don't get the crowd excited, they don't promote the new album. They honestly serve no purpose. I saw Bruce in concert for the first time last night and it made me realise how awful this set is. There's no improvisation, no spontaneity, no surprise. You can go a Bon Jovi show and predict just about every song that's going to be played... and in what order.
They need a major revamp in the way they approach their sets, with only a few songs (Prayer, Wanted, Bad Name, Bad Medicine) being played at every show and ALL of the other songs should be rotated.
