While you said a lot of true things here, WrathMania, I don't agree that playing the entire Circle is the best solution. Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of this record. I think that firstly they should fix the stale auto-pilot setlists and when they do that, then it'll might be a time for full albums. Remember, it's a long tour

I love The Circle, it's a great album, but to play JUST that? no, I wouldn't be happy.

The set lists are fairly static but I'll say again - its still totally different from what has been played the last few tours.

I love The Circle, I don't think there's a bad track on it, AT ALL. And I wouldn't have a problem with the record being played in it's entirety on some kind of regular basis. However, I think that slightly too much is being made about everything. While most nights have been way too safe set-wise, the sets themselves aren't bad. Too much LH stuff, but other than that I don't have a problem with most of the songs being played. Also, I have yet to read a single review of someone at a show who said that the band performed on autopilot.

I agree that they are on auto-pilot with the setlist. I cringed when I saw Summertime throw into the set. However, I would definitely not want to see The Circle played in its entirety. I think its their weakest album since Bounce (I don't count TLFR).

Let me say that Wraith has some valid points. I would love for them to do the Circle especially during the 4 nights at NJ or even at Boston. I would also like to hear at least some others. The set list needs to change especially with the stadium shows beginning. The performances are high energy and Jon's voice is the best I've heard him.I am not even going to speak to the complainers. If things are not to your liking then don't go. Sell your tickets.

I've learned a couple of things from seeing them four times already. They will be playing songs we don't want to hear like CC or Summertime. I have also learned that songs off of LH will be played even if they are too many.

If you can deal with that then fine or if you can't then that's okay. Call me naive or a Jovi can't do no wrong girl, then so be it. I had and will have a good time. You have to lower expectations.

I can't wait until The Circle is played in its entirety, but they would play other songs too.

And maybe to you the setlists are a joke, but they've been putting on some of the best shows they have in years as well.

I'd love to hear the whole The Circle album, cause I love the album. But just that full album in a Bon Jovi show? Hell no!

Many setlists of the European leg of the Lost Highway Tour still piss over these setlists. The addition of Something For The Pain, Homebound Train and a cover song in Bad Medicine don't make up for very weak first half of the set.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan
