Rehseral

That's what I heard too - any info about the songs that were rehearsed?

The Saturday ones wasn't for the grammys?

I've heard today, that their rehearsals are in Seattle??!! (Matt should have said so..)

ok I tired to work on ym grammar but I am typing this on my iphone because my internet is broke right now. I tried to remember what songs they rhesarsed rehearsed. I was there with my boyfriend and they played in a studio somewhere in New York. I met Obie first who was very funny like he always is on the website. He said Jon would not be there the first 2 days because of business obligations and you can't belame him. Look at the documentary if you dont believe me, Jon's always busy! So the first 2 days it was just the band going through the songs they wanted to play together. The first day they played a lot from the first 4 albums especially a lot from Fahrenheit which surprised my boyfriend. Oh and my boyfriend said I need to mention that Richie played a Cramer guitar on many old songs. They mostly played bits and pieces, I think they played Runaway, Get ready, hardest part is the night, price of love, tokyo road, Out of love fromthe first 2 albums. Sometiems Richie sang bits of the songs but most of it was just instrumental. My byfriend loved it because Richie was improvising a lot of riffs on the spot. He said he couldn't remember most of it but Obie sometimes played the songs from the CD's. They appearantly had gotten a list form Jon with songs he wanted to do live but most of them were songs they do every tour. The band said something like "Yeah same old with Jon, let's surprise him" or something like that. I could hear the music very well but couldn't hear everything they said when they didnt say it int he mike. Oh gotta go now my battery is low Ill be back in a few minutes.

Yeeeahhhh..... Sure.....

Ok Im back. I couldnt see the list they had by the way, but I dont think anything from the first 2 albums was on it. The second day they played mostly stuff from the nineties, they went through a frw songs from Slippery and jersey but played more stuff from the nineties. They played the full version fo blame it on the love but said that Jon couldn't sing that anymore. It did sound GREAT!!!! They rehearsed all of kepe the faith but not with Jon so I really didn't know what they were going to play. They also rehearsed Real Life which I thought was odd beucase it sounded boring without Jon and my boyfriend said it wasn't really a fun song to play but I think I remember Tico or david saying thzt they had to do it cos it was a single? maybe jon wants to play all the singles, I dont know. I am not a big fan of these days, it's too dark and dperessing but they played a lot of songs of it. My boyfriend said Richie used a very ddifferent guitar for Something for the pain and learned Bobby the intro for it. Oh I forgot to mention Bobby often learns the riffs from richie and he's very quick or richie is a good teacher lol!!! they also played a bit of save a prayer but I think that was for fun. Richie said he couldn'tget his guitar right for the song and that was the end of day 2. On day 3 I saw Jon for the first time. He asked who we were, and said he hoped we had a good time. He pologized for not being there on day 1 and 2 and hoped the band had been nice to us. I said we hadn't met the band and he asked them to come over so they could introduce themselvs. They sadi they didn't know we were fans adn thought we just worked at the studio and Jon asked how long I had been a fan. I was like forever and he asked what I thought of the new album. I said I loved it and my boyfriend asked if they were going to play it in full this tour? Jon said he wasnt'sure oif that because he said people didnt love it when they played Lost highway. I dont udnerstand because that album is my favourite well all albums are my favourites they are all so great!!! on this day they rehearsed everything from the Circle and it all sounded GREAT! Jon loved singing the new songs and htey did every song 50 times lol well apart from the born to follow because they learned that already. Richie plays many guitars and after they finished rehearsign richie and david came to talk with us and my boyfriend asked how many guitars Richie will take him on tours, and he said 25 because theyre going to play differnt songs this time, which need different guitars. Oh I gotta go now but ill be back. xxx On day 4 they were making the basic setlist, like the songs they will play every night. Jon said he wanted to do it differently this time, Bad Name will be encore opener and he said he didn't want to play Bad Med anymore, but Richie said he did so Jon said ok but then early in the set so it looks like Bad Med will be played early in the set. Obie got also involved and said they should play more from Fahrenheit but Jon said no. He then said listen to the band playing the stuff because its oudns good and it did lol. Jon said no, and then they had a democratic vote, which was 3 against 1 (Hugh and Bobby didn't vote). Obie printed lyrics from In & Out Of Love and Jon sang it but didn't like it. Oh I forget to say Jon learned the guitar solo for You GIve LOVE a bad name and said he wanted to do it because he wants to make the song more fun for him. But anyway they then decided they were going to play at least 1 song from every album so everyone can be happy. Jon said **** born to be my baby lol! I Hope not it's one of my faves lol!!! I will now post the list of songs they rheearsed. I tried to make it together with my boyfriend, it's about 100 songs I think.It was really great to experience this, we didn't have cd's with us so we bought Keep The Faith and The Circle (our favourite albums) even though we have them already just so they could sign them. I really look forward to this tour, they promised us Hawaii would be really great and that we should know that this tour was going to be for the die hards. I will try to upload a recording, because they didn't allow it to be recorded or to have pictuers taken but I started my cellphone and recorded whatever was possible so I have no video but some sound as soon as I have figured out how to put it on the computer I will do. Sorry for ramblimng but I'm still so excited about all this. This was like a dream come true for us lol. anyway thanksfor reading Im going to make the post of songs now and what the set is going to look like when remembering the setlist.

I don't believe it. [/Odd one out I bet]

lol it's really true i will post a recording tomorrow maybe lol

If you do I will be more than happy to offer my apologies.

Looks like Seb again... He also uses that "I'll post/upload it tomorrow" method.
