I've gone and bought another ticket for another show - no pressure then!!!!!!!!
Lot to live up to.

He said you'd never see the same show twice, which is something they've been saying since the New Jersey tour. He thinks that every show they play is different, while it's only for the die hards that mixing up Story Of My Life with Just Older makes it a different show.
He also didn't say they'd be doing acoustic nights, he said they'd be doing acoustic driven nights. A full acoustic show like Yokohama looks good on paper but Bon Jovi rarely really rocks on acoustic performances.
I don't really expect him to play any whole albums apart from (maybe) Bounce, Have A Nice Day, Lost Highway and The Circle. Jon can't sing Hearts Breaking Even or Blame It On The Love anymore even if someone would grab him by the testicles for the entire song. He doesn't want to be remembered as an eighties rock star, there's a reason why stuff like Let It Rock and Homebound Train barely have been played the last 20 years.
I really hope for everyone who's bought a ticket that they'll be proven wrong, but these are just Jon's intentions. I'm sure he once again believes it when he's said it, but he's said it so many times by now that there really is no reason to believe him at all. And I certainly wouldn't use them as an excuse to buy another ticket. Had his intentions been real surely he should've wanted to play the rare songs already on the promo shows.
Salaam Aleikum,
