I'm thinkin' here...

Well I was there looking at the Hand tour setlists and just realized that or the band (maybe just Jon, who knows) is really the kings of marketing like we use to think or I'm just drinking a lot nowadays....

They are promoting 3 releases at the same time in just 1 tour !

They said they would never play TLFR songs again cause they would need extra musicians.....what happened? They brought the extra musicians to the whole tour....
Now they are promoting TLFR, Boxset and Hand in one concert. Casual people just listen to Radio or Garageland and if enjoyed it, try to find the Boxset, the same happens to TLFR version's (I don't really think someone would enjoy it, but who knows.....).

Errr......

going by those standards they are also promoting Slippery, New Jersey Keep the Faith Crush and Bounce.

Well, going by how many of those they would have sold in total, they should keep going with it, it's working!! :P

I think it's just great that they've got something else to play than just studio albums. It gives new perspectives to gigs. There's is one thing I don't get: Why doesn't they paly mre songs from These Days album. that is the best so far. And even weirder is that when they were on a Crush tour they playd only few times songs from These Days even thougs that time These Days was tehir former album. It is the same that they wouldn't paly any songs fron Bounce on this tour.... I don't understand.

If you've seen any of the setlist this tour, you'd know that this is exactly the case. I'd love to hear The Distance, Bounce, Undivided... But no.

Well yeah, but atleast there are pretty often "Everyday" and in USA leg they played "Bounce" several times. But why not songs from these days. Only few times "These Days" hane been on a set list. Why not "something for the pain", "This ain't a love song", "Something to believe in", "Letting you go", "Lie to me" or some else. They all are just great. I'm so disapointed I wasn't in These Days tour. Fro example in Finland, Jovi playd almost every song from These Days.
