It's disheartening when you go to a show, have an amazing time, and then read nothing but complaining from people who were not even there.
I was there. I had a great time. The people around me were dancing and singing. I saw everyone from little kids to older people. Everyone walking out of the arena was singing Wanted and Prayer. No one THERE was bitching.
I personally liked the set and was far more disappointed to hear BTBMB again than Whole Lot of Leaving. But the majority of the crowd wants the big hits and I think it was pretty well balanced to please the casual fan and indulge a super fan like me who wants new album tracks and a few album tracks. Would I have personally switched out a song or two, sure. But I left HAPPY. Just as I have every other Bon Jovi concert I have ever attended.
BTW, the changes I would have made would be
What's Left of Me for Working Man.... same message, better song
Always for BTBMB.... bigger hit, better song, not as over played
