Official February 24, 2011 - Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY, USA thread

really??? paying 80 euros per ticket???
good night!!!

lol maybe i was being a little sarcastic, my point is, we have all seen the setlists and know the majority of what usually coming, a great rock show. We all have our favorite songs, and our least favorites, for whatever night your show is, make all those songs your favorite, and enjoy the hell out of it, because a bon jovi show is one of a kind.

Aloha !

I'm sorry, but if you feel that making all your least favourite songs your favourites results into a better show you're a bit odd. The fact that there's so many songs in the setlist that many people consider their shittiest songs pretty much results into many of us feeling that the Bon Jovi show that used to be one of a kind is pretty much gone.

There is the performance value of a show too - however many folks go to a show, regardless of whether it is Jovi, Springsteen, U2, to hear a specific song (their favorite), or songs for that matter, which in-term means they may tune out the "crappier" or "crappy" songs, or even ones they really don't care for. In defining this, one person's "crap" may be someone else's "gold."

But yeah, I do understand your point - just because you are at a concert doesn't necessarily mean you have to make all of the songs you hate into ones you like; you enjoy it for what it is. If you happen to enjoy them, fine; this also places the performance value into the equation.

Let's hope for a nice set for those there tonight!

Yeah, many of my friends are there as is my fiancé. She's on Richie's side, at the side of the stage. They've put down the set and she's trying to read it now.

Haven't missed a show in Jersey or NY in 8 years. However since they refuse to change the set this is the 1st one I am missing. So it looks like a good decision. Same show different day.
