The last time the band played Xcel Center was on Wednesday April 7, 2010. Setlist balance as followed;



Salaam Aleikum,

I'm not quite sure how it evolved, but on my Bruce board there is a well known phenomenon called "the night two rule". Simply stated it's that night 2 of a show in any town or country is always better than night 1. People will say after a fantastic show on night 2 - well, the night 2 rule was in effect.

Over the years I have noticed that this seems to apply to Bon Jovi too - and never more than to this this tour. So I predict that tonight will be a better setlist than last night.

I can only hope that there is at least one rarity or different song. At this point I'm not even being too picky about what it is.

'In These Arms', 'Always' and 'Brokenpromiseland'.

No Never Say Goodbye? I want that one tonight more than any of those.

I suppose it could appear. I'm going for those three tonight, though.

Looks like they just added another local band. It's going to be a long night and an exhausting tomorrow!

I read about it - there was some sort of screwup.

What time can us Britischers expect to join in festivities in the PBP?

I expect BoR (not that I'd like it) or NSG tonight....

Normally we'd expect the band to take the stage in 10-25 minutes, but I don't know if the extra opening act may affect that or not.
