Penn state setlist

I might be watching it... the setlist isn't that awesome but hell In These Arms is there and that's the only BJ song that I really look forward to hearing live (they better NOT drop that one). Plus, I can beat the traffic, leaving after IML!

Thats a pretty standard setlist

Its similar to what we got at rumba (except longer)

There's no point doing In These Arms when they do it as poorly as they did on the 2001 tour - even at MK which was a great show... it was just like a karaoke song... jon sang everything within the same range of about 1 octave, backed out of everything...

blood on blood is a great song to play yes - but it's not so much of a surprise and it's been in the set most of the time for the last 3 years now!

Runaway is great - but even that song shouldn't be a surprise because it should be in the set as standard...

The problem I have the most with the set list..besides The Distance not being played.....is the encores. They don't give me much reason to stick around. The only reason I will when I do see them is to make sure I don't miss anything.

They need to throw in some surprises in the encores....Bad Medicine with Shout......it will take some discipline to keep from leaving at that point. Then I'm sure I'll be rewarded with Twist And Shout. Whatever. If they can play Twist and Shout or Tequila..or whatever..they can play Tokyo Road or Roulette or anything they haven't played in years and get the same or better reaction. Recognizability, or lack thereof is not an excuse.

Blood On Blood has not been played electric in years. It's a welcome return.....even so..the acoustic intro version wasn't played that much on the Crush/One Wild Night tours.

that's the way it should be... just play it maybe once every 3 shows and keep a few songs in rotation maybe...

the band are well aware that a lot of fans go to at least 2 shows... if youy rotate set every few dates at least they see some different material

Not that great, im hopeing when i go to night 2 of the NJ shows they pull out something good, cause they normaly do a good job at NJ...any idea of what the GGD's played???

Collective, I hope so too!!!

hummm interesting...Born to be my baby closed the show..b4 the encores...thats sorta new..

[quote="letitrock"]Yes there's a point. Because I want to hear it
I know they tuned WAAAAAAY down for that song coz Jon just can't handle it, but I still wanna hear it live.

I'm quite sure Jon CAN handle the song "In These Arms" like before if he wanted to, but that does put more strain on your voice. It's just to make it easier, not that he can't sing like that anymore.
