Nope not what i'm saying. I know they're going to play songs from LH, just please not 4. I'd like to hear different songs form HAND instead of just HAND and who says, thats a recent album. Same with Bounce, correct me if im wrong but I dont think theyv done 1 from Bounce yet? Thats hardly an old album. And Hallehowever you spell it, a cover from the LH tour, been there done that but im still going back, just wnat a bit more variety. Variety does not = "nostalgic"

Anyway we all know Nostalgia aint as good as it used to be

Maybe if on the LH tour they had insisted on playing Bounce, Everyday, Right Side of Wrong..... then they would have a little more recognition with fans today. Despite their relative lack of commercial success.

I DO get your point.

Maybe you're right, I dont think thats why theyre playing LH tho. Prb becos the songs suit Jons voice more. On the Crush tour TD was practically ignored - for some unknown reason

Are we sure they are not a Nostaligia band? Same old songs from days gone by, and now we are repeating way to many songs from last tour and last album. Not to mention we can't even get a new cover, same old cover from last tour.

I love all the covers they have done over the years. But we have usually gotten a new cover and here we are with Hallelujah again, same cover from last tour.

If you take away the songs from the circle, you have nothing but a Nostaligia band. Even the songs from the circle, are the same songs, we can't even spice that up a bit.

Maybe Nostaligia band is not the correct term, to lazy to go look it up, but in my mind and my dictionary, that is exactly what they have become.

But your solution to this seems to be to have them play even older songs than those of LH.....

They arnt. Nostalgic bands dont play any new songs at all, nearly half of their sets are from the last 5 years. I'm looking forward to hearing the Circle songs live, like you say I wanna hear more than the same few songs from it too. Just asking thats its not LH - leg 3.

No my solution would be to play songs from the circle, that they are ignoring.

Or another solution would be to play songs they have ignored off everyone of their albums in place of the same old hits, and those same darn LH songs. That would go back to their very first album, but would also go all the way up to HAND.

Is it to much to ask for a new cover, christ it is not even their song. I should be darn thankful though we finally got rid of Shout.

So many songs to choose from, yet we get the same old hits, the same old covers, the same off last tour and the same off the Circle.

Ang1e · #**108** 03-05-2010, 07:20 PM

Right, to go back to the setlist, I'm quite happy with it and can't wait to see it live. Yes, there can be some tweaks, already mentioned, rotate Hallelujah with Always, We Got It Going On with One Wild Night, if the LH album has to be played, let's hear Any Other Day instead of WLOL.
If I was going to many single show cities, I would probably sell my tickets.
Those who are going to multiple show cities will still get around 5 different songs.

Is this thread still about Bon Jovi?

Blaze Of Glory needs to come back, that's all I have to say.

That one has been played a bunch - but I would agree if Jon played Blood Money first. That one hasn't been around enough in my opinion.
