From all repots it''s been rumoured that they opened the show with Last man Standing.

I heard the same rumour. My sources claim to have seen the setlist, we can all breathe easy, Prayer and Bad name WILL be making a triumphant return to the set tonight. Thank god, eh?

As you can see, pretty much identical to the New York shows with the exception of Last Cigarette thrown in there. Still though, it was very well performed.

There was a very funny moment during the middle of Wanted Dead or Alive, just before the solo. Richie was supposed to change from his acoustic guitar to the electric, as usual, but he and his guitar tech seemed to get their hands tangled as they were handing the guitars off to each other. So Jon and the band start playing the rhythm section for the solo but Richie was still struggling to get his guitar on. Jon saw this and decided to stop the whole song. Then he turned to Richie and said "One of the most famous guitarists of all time and you manage to go and break and your guitar. Lets try that one more time!" HAHA it was great. So Tico gave him the beat and they started from the beginning of the solo.

Great night, and I hope they mix up the setlist for tomorrow night.

No 1990 live album, a bad live album in 2001, no acoustic album and dvd (which would have been great), no Bounce tour/OWN live tour dvd, no 1995/1996 dvd of a complete concert, but instead of that we got TLFR on both cd as dvd, which didn't sell,

but they do think that the "not die-hard" fans, really like it? Can someone explain that to me :S?
They don't think that the full electric versions of Always and Bed of Roses would do a whole lot better, because especially Always has been one of the best selling singles of Bon Jovi ever? What are they on :S?

Yeah, it feels like a belated attempt to plug the album. They should have been doing this type of thing early 2004, not late 2005!! I would love to hear the original versions of the songs that they have been playing 'left acoustic', as I have never heard them performed live before, so hearing the newer versions may be ok, but it wouldn't be the same either.

Every set without saturday night and faith (prob their best live songs with wanted) just aren't great sets to me

Them not doing Always has NOTHING to do with what you're talking about. Jon just can't take Always every night. Im sure if he could handle the song, we'd be seeing the song as often as Prayer and Bad Name. If this is the only way he can do the song, I say go for it.
