Wow, back to basics BJ right?

Poor guys, reading about the set in Italy and now this..

Anyway, this is Bon Jovi. Pleasing the diehards one night per month.

It's these kinds of comments that set the noobs off. A good 3/4 of the European shows have been good with solid sets.

And the bad sets are blown out of proportion sometimes.

One per month may not be the most accurate but gets the point across.

Noobs! Time to set off!

Not a bad set... not great as in comparison to some of the better ones lately.

4 tracks from Slippery/3 from jersey/ BLAZE/ 4 from Faith/ 2 from Crush/ 2 from HAND/ 2 from Lost Highway/ 3 from the Circle/ and ALWAYS

Even though it would be painful to sit through Lost Highway and Work for me, any set with Bed of Roses and Always is better than most US pre-LH. It would be miles better with just 1 These Days song. But again, not the worst set I've seen.

Average set but already seeing some reviews and so far, the crowd loved it. All that I have seen, said it was fantastic.

Well, it was their first show in Greece so that's kinda expected.

being the first show they'd either throw a set full of easter eggs or go absolutely vanilla, which they did. I know how much the set sucked but I can't really blame the band, given it was their first time.

What about pleasing the other 99.99 of the people ? seeing how everybody (apart from the "die-hards) seem to enjoy even WGGO or WSYCGH i was thinking about this the other night in Udine... i do not wish to be confrontational or anything but a die-hard does what Max did in Udine...not complain all the time, from a desk, about Let it Rock or While my Guitar not being played..... they play that stuff once a year..you know it , i know it... they are great just as well... if 99.99 of the paying audience wants their Bad Names, Wanted, Prayer and so forth i do not see why they should not get it...
