Got back from the show a little bit ago. This was my 8th Jovi show. I was out of town for the weekend, and didn't get to check the set from last night at Mohegan. Here are some thoughts.

- At first when I got to my seats, I couldn't believe how many empty seats there seemed to be. I thought maybe it was the prices of the lower level tickets. Not the case. When the band took the stage, the place was full, just like every other show I've seen in DC.

- Was very interested that they started with Bad Name. I had just got done telling my friend that every time I've seen them Bad Name was the 2nd song of the set. Then they kicked into it and made me look stupid. Love the song, but agree it could have been better even just a bit later. I still think one of the best openings was back on the HAND tour when they started with Last Man Standing with Jon back by the sound booth.

- This was my first time hearing most of the songs off of the upcoming album. It was interesting hearing them for the first time at a live show. I liked most of them. Will need to hear them again to really have my thoughts, but my favorite was What's Left Of Me.

- They need to change around the order. The pockets of new songs need to be broken up I think. I thought maybe for the shows until the album is released, they would play a few, but it would be more of the older songs, but this wasn't the case. I enjoy the concert more when I can sing along with the songs, so this was a little bit different, but it wasn't bad.

- Although it might not be a popular opinion, I was happy to hear Captain Crash. Was always one of my favorites off of Crush.

- Agree that it'd be nice to hear some more songs off of Bounce/HAND. There are spots they can use to improve the playlist.

- Is it just me, or would Prayer work better somewhere other than the closer?

- After the band ended, someone gave Jon a bouquet of roses, and he tossed them out to some women in the pit. It made me think that maybe they would play Bed of Roses (which I have yet to see in 8 shows...), but this did not occur.

- Jon announced he'd see us all in the summer, which makes me hope that he will play a stadium show. If this is announced, I'll be planning a tailgate right away for it.

- I had seats overlooking the stage onto the right (Bobby's side), and I thought they were pretty good seats. You are really close to the stage, and can see everything, and we had a screen as well. The only thing we missed was the moving video parts, I couldn't see the center, but it doesn't sound like I missed much. For the $29.50 level, they were worth it for sure.

- Can't wait to see them in Tampa on March 1.
