The band feels the "left acoustic" versions have gone over well. When I told them that the cyberfandom wasn't in agreement, they said that diehard travelling from show to show fans make up less than 1% of any audience and that overall the show is built for the slightly more casual masses, who seem to like it. Tom Petty was Richie's idea and apparently Jon's last cover choice was Eve of Destruction, he prefers Jovi songs.
