Makes me sad people don't bring lighters to gigs. On the 2010 concert it seemed that I was the only one with one during Always, I think Jon saw me with it as I was in one of the first rows, lol.

Every band has double standards, not only Jon. It's like when I go to a gig and I think "on Peru they played x songs so they should play 3 more here in Buenos Aires". I'm pretty sure this happens with a lot of venues/cities in Europe, here we know that Brazil and Argentina are more "important" for concerts.

I hate when a band do the same setlist and ammount of songs in every country, it makes me think that we could be sitted in our chairs and they'd stil play the same songs.

Yeah I know not every single concert in America has seats laid out, but it's much more common.

I lived in Utah (not exactly the heart and soul of the country I grant you) for 6 months and went to a few gigs in Salt Lake.

Will also be in New York and California in August, will hopefully see a few gigs.

I skipped to These Days, didn't listened to Always haha.

My friend was in GC and she said that there were technicians working most of the show laying new cables, so there seemed to be technical problems and Jon could use the catwalk not until the end of the show.

@Iliyan: Yes, people were moved by the police and local security from the seats in block A2 or B1 (not sure which one) because some parts of the stadion lights fell down. So the people in that area were moved into the GC. I was in block Z4 and could see that movement quite good.

Well I could only afford the Sofia show and I am certainly NOT GLAD that Munich got a better show.

Yeah i feel the same even though Vienna was fun. I really wanted to go to Munich too as i only live 2 hrs away but it's just not possible right now. No baby sitter in Munich so no choice

As a matter of fact, Munich ALWAYS gets the best setlists every tour. I don't want one and the same setlist for every country (like Iron Maiden and ACDC do), but if you will play 28 songs in Munich, at least play just as many, albeit different songs in every other city out there.

It wouldn't be JoviTalk if there weren't complaints though!

Yeah, as in nasal, out of breath, not articulating and off key. That's the "normal" Jon Bon Jovi in 2013. And it wouldn't be Jovitalk if someone starts complaining about the complaints either, by the way.

No, not every band has double standards. I follow quite a lot of bands and I don't know any band that has such huge differences in setlists like Bon Jovi has when playing Munich one night, and then a city like Dresden the next night. It's one thing to play 1 extra song because you feel the crowd has been special, but to actually plan an extra hour in beforehand is nothing but a rude gesture to people living in other cities. If you don't live in London or Manchester you're pretty much screwed when it comes to shows in the U.K., just like you're screwed as an American if you're not from the New York or Philadelphia area. Brazil and Argentina aren't more "important" for concerts, and the fact that you seem to think so makes it come across as if you feel like you're a better fan than someone from Peru. You're not.

This is spot on! I just could not have said it better myself.

It's true, but i think that now we have a little bit of improvement: for example Dry county was far better than the previous 2013 exhibtions. I also think that these days was not good, but it was better than i expected!
