It wasn't so bad during the Lost Highway/Circle tours, for example, since the "standard vanilla" setlist back then still would've included I'll Be There For You, Blood on Blood, Someday I'll Saturday Night, etc. That's just simply not the case anymore.

Exactly. 'Lost Highway' is actually one of my favourite Bon Jovi songs, but there are so many songs which have been played pretty much every night for the past three/four tours which just don't need to be there.
Simple little changes in the past ten years could have done wonders even today making things slightly less stale. 'One Wild Night' for 'Raise Your Hands' was a common one.
What happened to 'Just Older'?
Is 'Bounce' a Bon Jovi album?
'Novocaine', 'I'm With You', 'Undivided', 'Living In Sin', 'Blaze of Glory' etc. etc.
I'm sure Jon's voice wouldn't handle some of them but he's tried with the likes of 'These Days' etc.
