While I'm not a fan of it, WSYCGH always bring out a lot of crowd energy.

From their Facebook:

Backstage last night in Columbus Jon Bon Jovi sent a message to fans on GroupMe! He asked fans via text what song they should open the show with that night. Staying true to his word, Bon Jovi began the show with the GroupMe fan pick: Lost Highway! Thanks to the fans who helped make this decision. If you're not on GroupMe already- you need to be! Start a group today because you never know who might join your conversation! http://groupme.com/bonjovi

Remember when they wanted us to choose the encore song? What tour was that? Bounce or HAND? Same thing.

Yeah, I just read that. What I find even more remarkable is that even though they still don't understand the purpose of Facebook, they've already "embraced" another sort of media. It just shows that the one doing their internet business has no idea of how to run this, as they're constantly pointing to other places.

I find it incredibly hard to believe Lost Highway was everyone's pick to open the show. Also, who voted? Did anyone here vote? IF we didn't vote, who in the hell did? Maybe a few at Backstage... but would they really pick LH?

The whole idea and potential of any social media just seems to have by-passed Bon Jovi and whoever looks after this side of things for them. Lost Highway. Really? No self-respecting fan would ever choose this as an opener. Sigh...

Aside from the medley, the interaction with, "Troy", the security guard, now forever known as the, "boob guy", and Jon with the dolls, this set list, IMO, sucked. If we get this in ATL - I will be livid, having said that, the band usually out does themselves in ATL - right Terri ? Or, am I wrong ? God, I hope not.

I liked WFTWM when I heard it the FIRST time, live. But, I do NOT want to hear it again live, especially on THIS tour, although I can understand why they played it in Columbus. (So very many people, out of work in Ohio, etc. - and not having been in OH since - 2005.)

As Bill23 said, it's not even a "Greatest Hits" contender.

Also, if they play WWWB, I will get a nice restroom break. I just do not understand nor like that song. In fact, I almost hate it. That's just my opinion, of course. I also did not like the book, at all. Again, JMO.

WGIGO - Again, it was ok, live, the FIRST time, but I do not want to hear it nor SEE it performed live again, and I am - Livin' on a Prayer -that they do not play/perform this one in ATL.

WWBTF - Is that on the Greatest Hits CD/Album ? LOL ... Under the current economic circumstances, and with the band touring without Richie AND expecting their fans to follow them at any cost, I do not think this is an appropriate song to play on this tour, period. Another op for a rr break.

WSYCGH - Another one that's getting old. Know they won their only Grammy for it but - it's tired - put it away for a while ...

As for the opener - Lost Highway - it's ok. But, it's also tired. I would love to hear - One Wild Night - as an opener - wonder if they could resurrect that one with Phil X? Is it too complicated for him to learn quickly?

There were no real surprises and I was totally bummed out with this set list.

Hell, start out with LYHOM - some fans have never seen that one live - have Jon march up the steps on to the stage and surprise everyone by going in front of the pit and then - around the circle - then back in front of the pit - put a different spin on it ... I know Phil X has learned that one. Open with it.

They need to seriously bring their act/performance up several notches - if they hope to keep the fans on this tour - (or for the next tour for that matter) - so far, it's been rather mundane and disappointing, with just a handful of exceptions. Which makes me beyond sad as much as they charge for their tickets.

No wonder this place was a ghost town, last night.

I love the clips of Jon with the dolls and the conversation with Troy. I hope the set list goes through some improvement before Atlanta. But I know it won't because the three songs I least want to hear get played every night wham, bam, thank ya ma'am.

my first thoughts when I read the message on FB.. come on guys at least pick somehting o-in the ball park that a fan would pick... I like LH but no way would it be an opener.... wait a minute Ive got it JBJ groupme with himself and thats who voted on what to sing as an opener...
