I'm actually thinkin' about bringing such a thing to my shows this summer

Definitely looks like he saw something he didn't like.

All of us should bring "Let Richie play the solos" signs. And I'm definitely bringing Seven Years Gone to Munich. I'm a dreamer!

Everyone need to take a look in this.

The band's perfomances maybe aren't so good, but the screens work...OMG!! They're incredible!

Bon Jovi - Runaway - Bell Centre - Montreal -...

Maybe I'm oldshcool but before the internet and all this social media, I had no idea what songs were played at any of the other shows. I obviously only knew the ones I was at.

They have programmed videos to coincide with the show so the set-lists need to be somewhat identical. There are some gaps for certain songs to be interchanged, including the encours.

I honestly don't give a F if Jon plays the exact same set-list for the entire tour. As long as it's mixed up when they play multiple nights in the same city (or surrounding ones).

But songs are being rotated around with the same light pattern, meaning it's not one linear light show. They're still able to swap songs. I do agree about similar setlists from show to show. Few few few few went to both Montreal and Washington so it's not a big deal, it's from tour to tour that worries me. The tours are blending into each other.

There's a video from BJTV of Mike Rew interviewing Dave backstage during the Lost Highway era he actually says "Here we are on the Have a nice...no...Lost highway tour". If even the band members forget what they're promoting it's not a great sign.

I rather that verses it not being played at all.

When you are there live, the crowd could drown most of that out anyway.

That one was amazing. Its almost messing with your mind. You see it crumbling down, and you think its the actual screen thing or whatever it is. I just hope I'd be able to see them from my seats next month. I'm poor so I could only afford ones a tad behind the stage.

It's a worrying thing though when the intro and the screens are more impressive than the following performance. Jon's a robotic statue again here on this one, well I turned it off after 1 minute as I couldn't watch it anymore, but I assume that's how it is. Jon's electric guitar is not needed on this song, much like most of the others. Fancy screens, a great performance do not make. Coldplay and U2 do it better with the staging etc, as they still maintain a strong stage presence (say what you like about their music, but their productions add to the performance, not overshadow it)

I have no doubt that everyone who was at the show enjoyed it,in the end thats what matters. We need to remember that the band are getting old it aint the 80s 90s anymore.
A Bon Jovi show these days(no pun intended) is what it is.Jon can barely hit some of the notes standing still hid behind his guitar so he isnt going to be running around like a lunatic.The only thing that bothers me is Jon's disinterest in the performances he is putting in at the moment.
He is on stage in front of thousands of people living out his dreams and yet he still cant raise a smile never mind his bloody hands.....The band have extra musicians on the stage so there is no need for Jon to pick up his guitar,just go out there and touch a few hands,smile and at least make it seem like your enjoying it.
See you on the tour...
