I love you Marc and the Crowes but I just think the expectation for Bon Jovi to be like them in terms of setlists is unrealistic. No one goes to the Black Crowes expecting to hear hits because, let's be honest, they don't have that many. They are to me, very much a jam band and that's why they can get away with playing what they want.
I do think Jon could throw in some rare songs, like 2 or 3, for us diehards and multiple show attendees and probably not lose the masses. I can't answer why he doesn't but while I may get bored with the setlists, Jon's not making me go to 15+ shows a leg, I'm choosing to do that.
