Actually, they're quite similar. At least from what I've seen.

I'd have to go with Brian on this one. The ones I've seen are not terribly similar. Bruce draws WAY more men to start with, and his audience is older overall. I think I might guess that he has a higher percentage of diehards at each show, too.

The Bruce audience is a much more male and classic rock skewed demographic from what I've seen. Also, beacause Springsteen has never really been (outside of the mid-80's of course) a singles oriented artist, and his persona is well known as playing dour political stuff, he can get away with certain things Jovi don't. Sane way that Bon Jovi can get away with certain things that Bruce at times can't.

Ok, this is a little off topic, but since when do Americans use "arse"?

I'm not going to address the rest of the discussion, but for those of you defending the cancerous presence of WGIGO in the set: there is another rock song from this decade that, in many ways, WGIGO borrows much from. Not only that, but it's also not nearly as obnoxious or insulting to the males in the audience as WGIGO is. That song, of course, is One Wild Night. And that's the one that should be in the setlist.

Couldnt have said it better.

I think the band is doing a great job at the setlists so far. And if youre not happy with them (you have some wrong with you), give the guys a break, its only been 5 shows!

I agree that sense. OWN, Blame It On The Love of RN'R, maybe even 99 In The Shade. Those are the type of "party rock" that WGIGO is for, and are all far superior to it.

I know, that's why i said god knows why.
Just because of the support act probably.

And OWN was a single We Got it Goin On wasn't. So in theory OWN would be more well known (besides the fact that it is infinitely better).

I always use it. It sounds more civilized than ass.
