All concerts I've been to only had seats everywhere except the "floor", so that people could/had to stand there, and could sit on the seats, if they had booked some.

People with seats standing up is another thing. There you have to come to some sort of agreement with your neighbors, depending on how steep the steps from row to row are, etc.

That is correct. For the arena shows for Bon Jovi (and a lot of artists that play the US), the floor is seats.

True. But some of the Jon just genuinely likes (LH, WLOL, hell maybe even Working Man) and some I'd consider hits/must-plays. So that, combined with the 6 new songs and maybe 1 or 2 songs on rotation per night doesn't leave much room, unless they decide to play 26-29 songs again, which probably isn't what Jon wants to do nowadays.

Let's face it: this is the new songs + the hits + some songs Jon wants to play and/or thinks they will go over well, depending on city, state, country they play in... And I'm perfectly fine with it. I know what to expect and have a great time seeing the guys and singing along. I just hope they will tour Europe after all next year...

He's 36. He's the reason I got into Bon Jovi, because he used to listen to Slippery and NJ all the time at home when I was a young kid. But he lost all interest for the band after 2000. I've tried to show him some good post-2000 songs but he just doesn't care.

I don't get why people don't listen to the albuns before going to a show either, but it seems to be the case of 90% of the audience these days.

I know I wasn't there and it doesn't matter etc but I don't think I could enjoy seeing that set. There are too many songs which just aren't good. That encore would have been blasted a couple of years ago.

Well, if anybody thinks Jon killed Always just embrace yourselves for These Days on the Europe leg.

He have a highly potential contender for Alpine Valley '03 as the worst These Days ever performed on planet Earth.

That one shares the worst award with Giants Stadium 06 (last show). They were both awful. And then came 2008 and 2010-2011......what changed?

I remember the first time he dusted always off in 2008 and I mean it was a real wow moment. All of a sudden we could almost expect anything to appear in the setlist. As you say it lasted for 3-4 years then declined.

Isn't it odd they haven't booked a 2nd North American leg? No Portland, Seattle, Milwaukee, Boston, Montreal, etc.? Just these remaining shows, some random gig in NY in August, and then supposedly Europe in 2018? What's happening for the rest of 2017?
