Official Saturday February 9, 2013, Mohegan Sun, Uncasville thread

Just two sentences on the girl:
+ I'm glad he took a fan who knew the whole text by heart.
- She can't sing, but thought she can.

Lucky girl, anyway!

She was bloody annoying to say the least! Her stupid little dance and then holding the notes longer whilst shouting... Proper done my head in!

But yeah, she is lucky.

Very good stuff changing up 'Captain Crash' (assuming they have...I only saw the first three second of it with a drawn out ''dressed up...). I realise it might be a one-time thing or it might not sound good once we get more footage but at least it's freshening things up.

Hello everyone, I've been a reader here since the beginning of The Circle Tour, but just joined as a member today after going to Mohegan yesterday, that was my 3rd show ever and it was a blast for a free up close private show, if you guys would like more of a review I could do that later

First of all I am really impressed how this whole mess ended. From lose-lose situation it ended up with a win-win. Very good decision.

The set list is far from spectacular, to say the least, but I really like the fact they played so many new songs. New tour, new album – so play those songs with pride. I hope they will not drop them by the time they come to Europe. Of course songs from LH or Cpt. Crash should be dropped for good but I guess time will tell what are the chances for this. Opening with Bad Name is kind of weird too. I guess this is a set easy to sing for Jon to warm up his voice. So my bet is the first few shows will be like that and later on they will improve. So no need to panic. And by the time they are in Europe Dry County and Something To Believe In will be back in the sets too. By the way, I am really glad the catwalk is still there, hope it stays for stadiums too.
And that lady who was picked on stage during Who Says was very lucky indeed. Great gesture from Jon. Another dream has come true for a BJ fan. I would love to be in her shoes last night, even though I can’t stand this song, but I would love to sing anything with them.

Yeah, 'cause Bad Medicne and Runaway were never played live... Hit me. But I think they should give Bad Medicine a rest. Yeah, is a great song, but it's been played every single gig since 1988.

They didn't played that much of hits last night, if they putted It's My Life before on the setlist then it would be a long time of the show without a hit. I think IML is fine there.

A gig on an arena can be intimate. I really would love if they have played a slow song or an acoustic one when they played in Argentina (yep, we didn't get a single one. It was a great selitst, though). Bon Jovi always plays on arenas or big stadiums, if it were for that they would never play an acoustic song.

I was surprised about how easily they dropped the 4 songs of the Greatest. Though they were going to let at least one on the setlist.

Edit: OH MY ****ING GOD MY EARS BLEEDED AFTER HEARING THAT GIRL SINGING.

Edit 2: Wild is the Wind is one of my favourites songs, but on that video sounded like shit.

Edit 3:

"We're sorry the live stream from Uncasville couldn't happen last night. We're working on setting up another stream for everyone to enjoy soon. Between now & then, check out this moment from our last minute show for the snowed in folks at Mohegan Sun. Jon pulled Morgen from CT up on stage to do her best Jennifer Nettles impression- and she was pretty good! We'll see you in October, Connecticut!"

It is very obvious Bon Jovi used this show as a big final tryout. Let's say the could afford to try out a lot of things. The real show is postponed to october and yesterday was about giving the 2000 folks who did came out a good time and testing their stuff.

- Video wall stayed out
- Jon without any energy - look at how he stood totally still during prayer
- Many new songs (great actually)
- Leaving out a few big hits (nice but doubt they will keep on leaving them out as the tour rolls out)

Washington will be the REAL premiere!!!

saturday night sounded amazing. I'm actually enjoying the videos. how many people were there ? 2000 ? and I bet at least a 1000 were soccer moms, considering the whooooooooooooooooo's.

it's painful to watch Jon trying hard to nail that ' livin' on a preeeeaayyyyyhhhhaaahhh' before the solo. tuned it down man, your voice isn't getting any better.

Wouldn't be the worst thing if Jon got a fan up on stage every night during Who Says, it's not like it could make the song any worse and it would be a great moment.

Horrible set list if we are judging it as a tour show, but as it's not there's no point doing that unless the next show follows the same pattern. As a free show it was a lot longer than I thought it would be, so well done to them for that.

Will see how to judge the setlist from the Washington show, but its worrying how they have dropped the better songs and kept some turds in there. Every album needs representing ideally, but LH & Circle tracks should be changed up and ideally no more than 2 of them, whilst having plenty of new stuff. Hopefully more new tracks appear when the album is actually released
