For those going to the MSG shows

I understand what you are saying. But since this concert is going to be placed in the record books (I hope), well why not play some great songs that haven't been played in a while? I expect a lot of hits, and I want to hear them. I love LOAP because the crowd singing along to it is electrifying, but why couldn't we hear Wild is the Wind, or Dry County? Dry County has one of the sickest guitar solos in all of music. People would like to hear it. Just stating my opinion, as we are all entitled to one.

For every 1 BJ Die-Hard that would flip out, there'd probably be five people wondering why Bon Jovi were singing a "boring song about oil", and if they had time to piss and get a beer before "he" played "the cowboy song about Timmy and Jenna".

As Crushgen said, it's a MLB sponsored, media-frenzy show. Most of the people attending this show never heard of I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, nevermind Dry County. The 'rarest' song you'll hear at a show like that is something like Saturday Night. But, again, if their performance is great and the setlist doesn't have SHIT songs in it, it's fine.

I also posted a video that shows that people sang along. I mean, I understand your points, and I respect them. Let's just see what happens. Like I said, I will allow someone to receive texts from me if they aren't going, and I can update them so they can post them here while the CP show is going on.

Section 120. I wasn't on the floor for Giant's Stadium, but I had a great view of the whole floor as I was in the middle of Section 120. Yeah, up at top they aren't as crazy as downstairs, I agree with you there.
