They didn't play Always and I'll Be There For You (Always was their wedding song).
Jon's vocals were very weak at times.
They still put on a good show for the casuals. But as a diehard, I honestly don't have any interest in paying to see them this tour, even though I love the album.

I understand not doing Always most of the time (given how it sounded in LA, I'll never complain about it not being played ever again), but I don't get not doing I'll Be There For You. It's a much much easier song to sing, he sounded OK-ish that one time he played it in a fanclub gig (and still very decent in 2013). It will obviously be tough, but I can't see it sounding worse than Bad Medicine or HAND, for example.
Without that signature Bon Jovi ballad the set just drags.
