Ok, so it seems like the band have settled into a pattern of a standard show on night 1 and then with any other multiple nights you might get some surprises. Anyone else annoyed by this?
Is the thought pattern that only hard core fans will show up on nights 2, 3 etc? Because I'm not sure that is true. For me, having been going to Bon Jovi shows for over 22 years now I always get a ticket for the first night of a show at the places in the UK where they play as there is often no guarentee that there will be a second or third night.
When the extra shows are announced surely less hard core fans will go because these are the people who 'ummed and ahhed' about whether to go to night 1 or not? Or are people who didn't even know night 1 existed until all the tickets where gone.

I know that more passionate fans will probably buy tickets to more than 1 show and so there is an argument that the extra nights should have rarities and audibles in to appease them as they have spent more money but I still believe that there would be less casual fans on night 1 than on multiple nights.

Its like the O2 shows. I bought a ticket for night 1 of the O2 run because I thought it would be cool to see the first show on the tour but I really believe that will be a standard, getting into it type of show. So I then bought a ticket for one much later in the run.

Also wondering whether the whole American tour is a rehearsal for the O2 run as they seem to have tried out a few oldies and then put them away again ready for the O2 run. Seems to have been the usual pre tour hoo ha about set list changes only for the set list to have been predictable for weeks now after a very promising start.
I mean, 'Runaway'!!!! For gods sake why when you could have 'Only Lonely' in there.

Also got to hope that the obsession with LH runs out by the time the O2 shows come round, hoping that they see it as an American thing!

Anyway, off topic now. Anyone any thoughts about the band's attitude on multiple night set lists?
