This is my opinion, I think they are not doing so bad to be a beginning of tour, but the set list leaves much to be desired, they could easily change 4 or 5 songs by show using songs from their new album and making them rotate. It could also do the same with some classics such as runaway, in these arms, blaze of glory, ill be there for you or some more recent like make a memory.

At this point it is no longer worth the excuse that Phil can not learn the shenanigans, he is already fluent and has played a lot of the band's repertoire, and having a rare album (burnin bridges) with some great songs for the shows, i don't understand why Jon is content to play the same thing every night. We are not in 1995, we are in 2017, we have internet and youtube, if Jon and the boys want to surprise their American audience, just change some songs every night, is easy.

Speaking about the band, John Shanks is much better than Bobby, and Phil seems to be improving on his own, have a rather more solid sound and for the first in a long time I feel the guitars sound with a consistent volume. I will be patient and give the opportunity to see how it improves, since the real weakness of the show is the state of Jon's voice and its staging.
