That's only because they make them that way. Early in a tour Bruce plays 2 1/2 hours in arenas, and by the end he's up to 3 or 3+.

Not if they mixed it up. Play Good Guys and I Believe one night and Something For The Pain and Hey God the next. And drop the Lost Highway crap that NOBODY wants to hear.

What do you think the percentage of tweets Jon got that requested they play We Got It Going On or Who Says You Can't Go Home? What, maybe 2% - Tops.

This band needs to do more than just play 1 or 2 "rare" songs per night to save their lazy reputation with the die hard fans. Shows aren't selling out as quickly (if at all) as they have on the past 2 tours and it's obvious why - Even the most die hard of fans is bored.

Look on the bright side. They dropped Sleep When I'm Dead.

Another 13 or 14 years and we'll have seen the back of WGIGO.

Lower your expectations for BJ. Go check out a better band.

What do you think the percentage of any given audience is that has seen multiple-shows on the tour?

10%, maybe? (Correct me, if you have any evidence otherwise).

My only rational concern is whether or not I'll get a different/more-energised show to last time I saw BJ. Two years ago.

Being someone who woud even consider going to two shows on one tour certainly puts me in a minority.

Jon does seem a little slow in understanding these things.

Half joking. I mean, we are only 3 shows in, but so far, I don't see much different from the last tour.

Because I keep believing Jon when he promises to mix things up this time around, and then doesn't.

I don't think that's fair. True, last night's setlist seemed like a step in the wrong direction, but there have been some wonderful surprises in the five shows (counting Hawaii) thus far. I'm not ready to write off the tour . . . although I reserve the right to get cranky if last night becomes a habit. I'm going to 4 shows in cities only getting 1 show, and I should get to hear the good stuff at those shows, too!
