First time I heard That's What The Water Made Me I thought it sounded like a setlist opener.

Hopefully it stays where it is - I don't like Bad Name opening.

Encore:
Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
(Acoustic)
Wanted Dead or Alive
Have a Nice Day
Livin' on a Prayer

Encore 2:
I Love This Town
Twist and Shout

Twist And Shout in Bad Medicine and as the closer...?

It was probably "Shout" in BM.

Um...don't like the reorganization of the beginning. The setlist didn't need to be even more like the Circle Tour. Either way...love Water but liked its old position in the set.

I should stop reading PBP's since my show is next week.

It's not the perfect opener, but it is as good as WAN has for opening a show... not to mention it is the best song on the album. I am just thrilled that it is not Bad Name. Put Bad Name anywhere else in the set... anywhere! But the acapella opening makes it possibly the worst opening song ever. Might as well open with Because We Can.

I have a show tomorrow and I have had it with this tour. It's Bon Jovi season, I have limited this tour to two shows and my level of excitement is at the equivalent of going to see the new Channing Tatum movie. And I am not a Channing Tatum fan mind you. I don't hate him... just indifferent and that is how I feel about Bon Jovi right now.

Part of it is that Richie is not going to be there. Richie is roughly 50% of Bon Jovi to me. So, 1/2 of my Bon Jovi experience will be missing tomorrow. But Richie, being gone is not nearly all the reason I am not excited about the show. Bon Jovi's ticket prices go up every tour and the performances are either staying completely the same (if we are lucky) or going down... and let's face it, their current releases aren't exactly the reason I became a fan. Be it as it may, I would still go and look forward to the show if they'd at least change up the set. This is the same damn set list as the Lost Highway tour! Even the fillers are the same. And the sad thing is, I would still look forward to it if there was a JUST A CHANCE to get something other than the 3 or 4 songs they are choosing to play off WAN. WAN is, in my opinion their best album since HAND... and BWC and the title track are two of my least favorite songs on the album. If there was a chance I'd get IWY, TAT, BW, or POY, I'd be excited. What a bad time to be a Bon Jovi fan.

I like the fact that TWTWMM is an opener but I dont think there is a better opener than I Believe.

I agree. There really isn't a better opener then I believe.
