I'm already going to 5 shows in the states, and to be honest, I'm going to be pretty disappointed if the setlist stays the way it is. IBTFY sung by Richie is supercool, but I don't know about you guys, will someone please tell Jon that he is the only person to like hearing ISWID!! Keep the Faith was a great cd, but why they keep playing that one live, I'll never know. BUT its only the first show of the tour, I'm sure by the time they play the States and go back to Europe the setlist will change. What scares me is that in 2001 I went to the 2nd Giants Stadium show and the setlist except for the encores was completely the same - that sucked. I hope both NJ shows are different in February!! Like someone else said on this post, they have to cater to the Bon Jovi fans who know "Prayer" and "It's My Life", as sad as it sounds the majority of the fans only know the the singles, I had a girl ask me if "Raise Your Hands" was a new song at Giants Stadium, I kid you not - I kinda laughed at her and said "yeah" - I think she was expecting that song on the "Bounce" cd! lol!! Hopefully when we all see the Osaka setlists, we'll all be happy to see some changes, remember, its only the first setlist - plus we're all fans of the band, we're probably all the hardcore fans, but you can't always get what you want!! I would love to hear "Wild Is The Wind" live, I never have and probably never will - but I'm still a fan and whatever they don't play live, I have on cd! It took me 12 years to hear "Never Say Goodbye" live, so you never know -hopefully the sets will alter a bit between shows. Thats it for me.
