I'm a long time lurker of this forum, Bon Jovi fan for years, but I have to chime in; what on Earth is their problem when it comes to creating a set list?? It's such a simple, simple thing. You need to include the hits, the fan favorites and the rarities/obscurities. The 3 necessities to a great gig. Does Jon think every person at his shows are casual fans? Every show should include at least one or two rarities. Why the hell not?
If I was a performer with 12 studio albums worth of material I'd love to give my die hards something special at each show. Plus it would be a breath of fresh air in the set to keep it from getting boring. Who cares if the casuals don't recognize it! Make sure every album gets a nod at a show too. Come on, at least one song from 7800, These Days and Bounce each night. That's all!
