Someone posted a setlist on BJ.com forums with SHOT THROUGH THE HEART - I thought it might have been a typo or somethin for YGLABN, but that was also on the list a little further down, so does anyone know if they did STTH?

They did not do shot through the heart. You give love a bad name was played second, as always.

Together with Runaway, I like that song most of their 1st album. But I don't think they won't be playing that anymore.

Hopefully someone can get a full setlist up here.

Did they perform Sympathy for the devil and/or Jungle together with KTF?

Too bad they did BOR again and not a surprise there since they already did BOR and Always the 1st and 2nd night.

Said reliable source has been abused and beaten for emailing me with false info and getting me all excited. Sorry guys my bad, I should have waited to see if it was so before saying anything, but this person is usually dead on right and doesn't send me false info. Again I apologize.

Well, it's not so far fetched. As a Bruce fan for more than 30 years I have certainly seen them perform together. I'm not sure that Continental Arena could have absorbed any more energy last night.

And something I'd like to point out. Every article about this tour points out the huge female audience (by default assuming that the guys stay at home or are at best disinterested, only attending to keep the women happy). This is not the case at all - at least here at home in Jersey and New York. Last night I was surrounded by a sea of 20 - 30 year old males who knew every word to every song - even the new ones. Pretty much the same thing happened at the other shows I've been to also. Perhaps the writers are only looking at the fan club - I have no idea - but I really don't like the assumption that good rock and roll is a female only experience.

I've heard many people- mostly casual fans, ya know the type that refer to the band as "HIM" - give "Bad Name" the title of "Shot Through the Heart." Used to drive me crazy back in the day haha. Big difference between the two songs!

Totally agree with you there, Kathleen. I've been noticing hordes of guys at the shows lately- not just the casual type fan, but plenty of guys wearing the t-shirts out there. Nice to see there are guys besides my boyfriend that are truly big fans and aren't afraid to admit it. At least here in the States, if you're a guy and are willing to admit you love Bon Jovi, you get teased cuz BJ's image is perceived as girly. Or not even teased- people just find you downright weird! ha ha. Kinda sad actually. But it's been great to see all the guys in the crowd!!

Yeay my brother is a HUGE Bon Jovi fan- he's 22 and not afraid to admit it.. has been since he was 12 (thanks to my good taste and constant playing of their music). I remember one day coming home and I could hear Damned playing in his room and he had taken my tape and forget it he was hooked. The guy fans are out there trust me- maybe not as many but there are alot more "DIE HARDS" than people think- even in America

As far as the fanclub goes I would have to say it is mostly girls... in albany the entire second row behind me was the fanclub and there was not one guy in that row.. but there were guys in the 3rd etc, in the pit, and front row next to me singing every single word was my bro

Greetings BON JOVI fans. Last night, Thursday, DECEMBER 22nd, the first leg of the HAVE A NICE DAY TOUR came to a close at the third of three sold-out homecoming shows at New Jersey's Continental Airlines Arena. Here was the set list - so much fun for those who were there - it was one big holiday party!

LAST MAN STANDING (Jon kicked off the show from the Front of House riser)
YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME
COMPLICATED
BORN TO BE MY BABY
STORY OF MY LIFE
I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD
RUNAWAY
THE RADIO SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT
JUST OLDER
I GOT THE GIRL
HAVE A NICE DAY
WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T GO HOME
IT'S MY LIFE
I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU (acoustic - Jon & Richie sharing the vocals)
BLAZE OF GLORY (acoustic - Jon sang from amidst the crowd)
BED OF ROSES (acoustic - with Jon heading from the crowds back to the stage)
CAPTAIN CRASH & THE BEAUTY QUEEN FROM MARS
GOOD LOVE (Young Rascals cover)
BAD MEDICINE
RAISE YOUR HANDS
LIVIN' ON A PRAYER

encore:
WELCOME TO WHEREVER YOU ARE
LAST CIGARETTE
TREAT HER RIGHT
BLOOD ON BLOOD
KEEP THE FAITH
I WISH EVERYDAY COULD BE LIKE CHRISTMAS
WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE (featuring Richie on lead vox for the 2nd verse)

The show was a big party. The band members had family and friends with them enjoying the last night of the run and the start of the holidays. Longtime friend and collaborator Desmond Child was on hand. So was WMMR's legendary DJ and longtime friend of the band Pierre Robert rocking out in the crowd. And John Shanks - who co-wrote and co-produced much of the Have A Nice Day album - was there for the festivities as well. The band had a great time. They hope everyone there had a great time as well.

And if you were leaving the Continental Airlines Arena, the band had a holiday greeting for fans. Did you see it on the sign outside as you drove away? SEE YOU NEXT SUMMER.
