I have to admit that I was lucky to see great shows - all of them (well, 3). It is not that easy to get to see them if you are from the central Europe which is taken as East Europe by everyone from West, so at least if I go to see them in Munich, I'll get a great show. You, in America, are spoilt with getting so many shows so it must be balanced :P

Yes, Bon Jovi play a good number of shows in America but it seems you have some misconceptions about shows over here and the fact that we are "spoiled".
First of all, most of these dates are relatively spread out except for some of the Northeast dates. I can't go travel across the coutry to see them so it doesn't matter from my standpoint whether they play 10 shows or 40 shows in America. I'm still only gonna be able to see 1 or 2 shows because of the fact that I am still in school and can't afford to miss much school to travel. My college tuition is nearly $1,000 per week without any other expenses. So, I wouldn't go see Bon Jovi in California as it would make absolutely no sense.
Plus, it doesn't help that some of our more visible members are the ones that can travel around
So from my standpoint, I'd happily trade a great setlist for maybe 1 or 2 shows. I wouldn't be bothered by not being able to see multiple shows of the same set. But yes, I still want other fans who are in my shoes who can only go to a few concerts to have great sets and not a average, lazy set.
