Official July 27, 2013 -> Metlife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ, USA thread

They do indeed... any city getting back to back shows deserves a little more variation. However, maybe it's just the blind optimist in me (despite the current set list) that makes me think there's still a chance for TAALS

Nevermind... that's the end folks.

Pathetic. No excuses.

FINAL

Thanks to BMCGRATH64 and bounce442 for providing a PBP.

So in the end the only differences were DC and ILTT replacing TD?
I AM so happy I went to night one.

So to recap... same set as last night without These Days.

and with 2 new cover snippets, DC, and ILTT.

Seriously? Would it have killed them to switch a few songs for Amen, Radio, IBTFY, BOB, LTOR, or God forbid IDFY, LIS, WITW, TAALS, Undivided, or HG? I feel for those that traveled for back to back shows to the one place in the US that is all but guaranteed sets for the die hard.

Not to mention this is the WAN tour and yet more songs were played from LH.

It is amazing how hope spring eternal for Bon Jovi fans: hope that the next album will really rock, hope that set lists will vary, hope that Richie comes back, hope that a rarity will be played. It is amazing. However, they are still getting the crowds and positive reviews and until they don't, they don't have no real incentive to make drastic changes.

"...It's that underlying optimism..."

ha ha... clever.

Maybe they're just tired by now. This tour has got to be taking its toll on Jon by now, that still is no excuse to do basically the exact same show (I know I know, there were SOME changes still) when variation required very little effort on their part. I won't even give examples as others have already done so, still, seems like it was a great show to those that went and a good send off until September.
