Official April 2, 2008, HP Pavilion, San Jose Thread

Yea, I'm glad they didn't end with ILTT, that would be kind of cheesey. Hopefully the setlist for the April 8th show will be somewhat different. I was surprised that they played Welcome. An acoustic version of blood on blood would be awesome, they did it on the one wild night tour pretty often I believe. Let it rock would be amazing.

The only saving grace is that usually here in Europe we do get better setlists. It should be especially for this tour as they should have realised by now how their popularity over here is waning somewhat.

That is exactly my problem - I have been to five Jovi gigs over the course of three different tours, and not heard a single song off These Days, which is my favourite album! I understand that for each tour, the band are promoting a specific album, and so you will get more songs off that album in a set than any other, but I cannot understand why they consistently ignore These Days, and to a lesser extent, Bounce. It means the setlists are never representative of their back catalogue.

I'd be happy with that set. HAND is one of my favorite albums. It's too short, but I REALLY like the placement of Last Man Standing.

Horrible setlist, they can do so much better. Plain horrible, for me they can stop playing any of the HAND songs with exception of Novocaine.

There is obviously no balance at all in this setlist.

I actually like "Complicated" but can't stand WTWYA.

I don't know. I don't like to judge a show simply on the setlist but this one seemed short and I absolutely hate the 2 song encore. I think they should be 3 minimum but 4 would be better.

I prefer Complicated to WTWYA, much better song IMO.

Looks like an OK set-list, but Blood On Blood and These Days need to be in every set-list IMO. I want the original BOR back too

Why do you think he dedicated Welcome to Pierre and the fanclub?
Were people at the fanclub message boards requesting it or something?

I love it..so glad they sang it!

I also love that Saturday Night is in there. Anyone know if he extended the middle like he does sometimes in this song.

I love when he does that!

Quite like the HAND-heavy set. As ever, quality of the show not defined by the set.

I wish they would also do Bounce and Everyday more often, it seems they have abandoned Bounce.
