Pretty much.

Said it before and I'll say it again (and this doesn't just pertain to Bon Jovi). If you're in a rock band and have a huge catalog of music, shame on you for not mixing things up more, and why the hell wouldn't you want to? Make things more interesting. No reason the following couldn't have been scratched for some rarities or some new songs:

Lost Highway
We Got It Going On
Captain Crash
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
I Love This Town

Get rid of those 5, play 3 more new songs, 2 rarities and you've got a decent set.

No offense guys but this board isn't the only Bon Jovi board on the internet. I found info and pictures on other sites. Friends who went had a great time and that's what's important.

Yeah 50,000+ people were there, but the end is near because 5 message board nerds didn't like the setlist.

Thank you for the thorough review. I enjoyed reading it... felt like I was there.

Other than Sleep When I'm Dead I would be happy to never hear any of those songs again - live or on record. Is it just me or does Sleep seem to pick up the atmosphere at a show? Captain Crash is bloody terrible. I can't get my head around the fact that this has been a staple song for 13 years.

To me it seems that this tour has been on near enough complete auto-pilot. Lack of new material and a lack of originality. I can't say that it's been a bad tour, they're clearly still hitting the right figures even tough it seems that many shows have 'under-sold'.

It's time for the band to have a break, reassess and come back in a few years time. I would be incredibly worried if they continue on this non-stop recording/touring run that they've been on for the past few years.

Where did it say there were 50,000 people there? There were lots of empty seats throughout the stadium.

I think there was a screw up at the start of Water, watch the video and see for yourself. The band sounded great and what a job done by Phil X. Bad Name, RYH, BTBMB, and Lost Highway all sounded pretty good and Jon was really moving around the stage and was very much into this show. It's My Life got one of the biggest reactions of the night, then BWC followed it and Jon forgot the words for a line and I thought this would ruin his mood but it seemed to make his mood better, he admitted he screwed up and smiled and kept going. What About Now didn't seem to go over that well with the crowd, who by the way was pretty good. WGIGO and KTF were rockin' like usual but Phil X outshines Bobby badly on the guitar duel. JBJ used the circle for Memory and Bed of Roses, during Roses someone threw him a Patriot hat and he wore it for part of the song. Runaway sounded good, Captain Crash got a mixed reaction and WWBTF went over decently, but Bobby's solo made my ears bleed, that was awful. We got Start Me Up in the middle of Sleep. Bad Medicine had a Shout teaser but i think Bad Medicine created one of the most sentimental moments of the concert. Someone threw a "Boston Strong" shirt onstage and instantly Jon put it on to a roar from the crowd. This was nice to see after all Boston had been threw with the Marathon bombings. When Wanted started the encore I was a bit disappointed because I then thought we'll get HAND and Prayer and be done, but I knew Jon was having too much fun tonight for a short show. After Wanted was Saturday Night which got a good reaction. HAND followed which was a highlight for me since I love the production used for this song, and then how can you not love Prayer at a Bon Jovi concert? After Prayer, I knew they weren't done, and they huddled and decided on Always, and I thought Jon sang it very well, his vocals were in top form last night. After Always we got OTRNR, I wish we got In These Arms or I'm With You, but OTRNR went over alright and Dave had a nice solo. I knew we would get I Love This Town, since Jon made it clear throughout the show that he loves the Krafts, the Patriots, and playing Gillette. After ILTT, I thought we might get one more, but that was it, you could see from the final bows that Jon loved it. David sounded excellent like always, and I think Tico deserves a lot more recognition and credit that he gets, what a performer he is. Phil X was a good fill in, Bobby served his purpose, and Hugh was solid, even though you can barely see him hidden in the back. Overall, this was the best concert performance wise I have been to, but set wise Mohegan 2011 had many more rarities. I don't think the YouTube videos will do it justice, but I think this was one of the better North American shows this year.
Great review! Thanks for that,
Also people on twitter are posting that they had a blast.

We all miss RS, but is good to see the band still rockin it out
