New Jersey shows, well setlists, this year...

spot off - expect more....

there are so many bands that play non standard setlists that i cant even bare to respond to that...bands that sell out multiple nights in the same arenas jovi plays...

if you enable this behavior then go ahead - expect less and receive less - or stand up and be heard and maybe you will see some change.

we got some in hawaii - if enough people voice their displeasure then we may have change - see O2 run.

if even are happy with this then so be it but please let those of us who expect more from the greatest band on the planet have their say...

well let you be happy with the status quo and well still raise issues with the status quo and we can both love the band...

my peace

and thats why Marc Rocks

Out of a 26-27 song setlist I don't think its asking too much for 1-2 rare songs (and im talking about a moment like a Santa Fe, Hard letting you go, something to believe in type song that they havnt played in forever)

It is possible to please the casuals and diehards.

exactly - and it wouldnt even be hard and i dare say the band might even enjoy it more - it just might take some effort - but its supposed to be fun to play music, right?

ps - thx for the kind words and right back at ya! i pretty much presumed everybody had tuned me out by now

ok...my peace

I agree. There has been an average of 25-27 songs every night. The casuals will be happy as long as they play Prayer, Bad Name, Wanted, It's My Life, and Who Says. They won't recognize Captain Crash and WGIGO as much as they wouldn't recognize Something to Believe In or Let it Rock. And yet, they play the first two near every night. There is room to please the casuals, the diehards, and everybody in between (like me! ).

You have completely missed the mark again. No, mixing up a bunch of poor openers are not what people would consider changing it up or a surprise. Not special at all.

You're European therefore you are looking at it from a different perspective. Since you want to play a numbers game, that 70 songs blah, blah, blah crap is nothing to go by. Here' smore accurate numbers. Bon Jovi played 70+ different songs in 12 O2 dates. Bon Jovi might have played somewhere around that number for 40-50 North American + the 2 Canadian shows. Hardly mixing it up.

Again, you also don't understand what Carli and a lot of the more regular posters post about the setlists. It's not about dream setlists, no one is expecting their dream setlist. In fact, they could play their standard setlist and include a few "WOW OMG" moments and people would be ecstatic and have a completely different view on it. All it takes are 2 rarities per night. Not so hard right? Not a lot to ask right? Oh and of course the

I have no complaints about the first 3 Jersey setlists honestly. Friday sucked, but that's a whole different complaint all together.
