With that voice of the Have A Nice Day Tour Jon would never have been able to sing Always like he did on the Lost Highway Tour. A lot of his upper register was completely shot at that tour, even before it started. Yet on the Lost Highway tour it became better as the tour went on. I don't believe Jon did that on his own.

Not really. I'd have said the chances were highly unlikely. They've played Damned on every tour apart from the HAND tour, and I always wondered why they never played This Ain't A Love Song as it's pretty easy on Jon's vocals compared to Bed Of Roses or Always. The point is though; 1 rare song per show doesn't make a show completely diffferent. Maybe for us, but when Jon said that he wasn't thinking about the die hard, he had the average joe in mind who he wants to buy tickets for more than just one show.

That's true, but that was a one off aimed at die hards. These are 10 shows aimed at the wealthier Bon Jovi fans. A big difference there.

That's true, but the negative reviews of the Prudential Shows were mostly about them not being on fire and trying to pretend something they were not. With the shows at the O2 they've already done the big stuff in America, they'll be warm and can play 10 of their what we consider average shows.

What's the point of playing Lost Highway then? Or Whole Lot Of Leavin'? It's because Jon wants to play those songs. If he'd really be looking forward to play rare stuff he'd have started to play the rare songs already. I don't understand why they'd have to wait for the tour before they can start playing rare tracks. If there'd be an honest intention of playing songs like Damned etcetera, why wait for a tour when you want to play them already?
It's like saying "I'm going to eat a Magnum, but I'll wait for the summer."
