Probably. Jon said he'd like to take some of our weather with him.

I Love This Town would be ok if it wasn't the last song. I mean it is pretty upbeat. But to end on it kind of leaves a large chunk of the crowd going "Oh, it's over? What was that?"

Now because my opinion is so highly valued by Bon Jovi ... they could have finished with something like Long Way to the Top and everyone would have been buzzing (IMO).

Just my 2 cents
I expect the band (or just Jon, I dunno) kinda consider playing it last to be a sort of "thank you" to the audience ... y'know, sorta "Thanks for having us, we love this town"

But of course, most people prefer them to end on a classic

They're really mixing it up with the opening songs - I like it. But how about opening with an original song that people know and love (no, not Lost Highway) rather than a random cover tune?

And what the **** is going on with the encores? Seriously?

The encore is actually brilliant. You can relax when walking to your car or train, be gone before the mass ppl come out of the stadium because you know after the main set, you can leave...
