Nijmegen also got Welcome To Wherever You Are.

I went to Glasgow and manchester and actually felt it was quite predictable and boring. Never really felt like that at a Jovi show before. Only saving grace was Dry County and welcome to wherever at manchester.

I preferred watching Nickelback.

I think i may have come to the end with this band...

Well I hadn't remembered all the setlists, just that when Jon came back on he had the lyrics taped down and said they hadn't played it yet on the European tour. Blame Jon, not me lol

I was at Dusseldorf, Nijmegen and both Milton Keynes shows --- I guess I dont have to explain that YES I got entertained!

okay forgive me i may sound like a backstager here (not a habit i promise) but i dont know many bands that are truly as entertaining as bon jovi i mean VERY few stay on stage for 2 hours let alone nearly 3 and people jus complain about the setlist - from looking at them they all look great i just dont get how you can find them boring after a show - especially manchester!! flippin heck u werent even at hull!!!

Because i know when i feel bored. And this was one of those times. I've seen them 8 times now, i felt like this time offered very little. Maybe i was expecting something different, something new. I just felt it was same old.

Im bored of hearing the same old script 'How we doin so far, ok?' 'Tico gimme the beat' 'Is there a doctor in the house'.

I just didnt get the buzz this time around. Maybe could be more of a reflection on my changing attitudes rather than the effort of the band.

I was more than entertained with the three shows, Southampton and MK X2, that I attended. Being in the stage pit for Southampton was definitely a treat. All the money I spent to fly over from New Jersey was well worth it! I'd do it again in a heartbeat and hope I get the chance.

I've definitely been entertained. I'm going back for more.
