No one is expecting that to happen. We all realize they have to please the majority of the audience instead of the minority. The point however many of us make or have tried to make is that it wouldn't hurt if Sleep would be taken out of the set and be replaced by Little Bit Of Soul. It wouldn't hurt if Raise Your Hands would be dropped and replaced by 99 In The Shade. Both are unknown songs to the majority of the audience yet both would go over just as well. That's the whole problem with it. We, or I, can live with the hits we have to hear over and over again. It's the b selection of the setlist that is getting old, predictable and overplayed.
Just look at this;
1. I Believe
2. We Weren't Born to Follow
3. You Give Love A Bad Name
4. Born to Be My Baby
5. Superman Tonight
6. It's My Life
7. Little Bit Of Soul
8. We Got It Going On
9. Garageland
10. Bad Medicine
~ Pretty Woman
11. Lay You Hands on Me (Richie Sambora on lead vocals)
12. (It's Hard) Letting You Go
13. I'll Be There For You
14. Runaway
15. Have A Nice Day
16. Who Says You Can't Go Home
17. Keep The Faith
Encore:
18. Wanted Dead Or Alive
19. Livin' On A Prayer
That's the same setlist as the one you got there, yet the b-selection is changed to other songs that have the same vibe any American festival audience would like. Do you honestly believe a crowd would like this setlist any less than what you got?
Salaam Aleikum,
