No, but the first hour of the show will be boring to them nonetheless.
They've done about 80 shows with this band and the first hour of their current set has never worked so far yet it's still there. Of the first 10 songs about 7 go over like a lead balloon yet there's nothing the band can replace them with as Jon's barely able to make it through this selection. Hence the lack of changes in Australia as well.
Bon Jovi have ignored Russia for 30 years. The last time anything was played on the radio was 19 years ago. It's a pointless idea to shove Lost Highway, Whole Lot Of Leavin', We Weren't Born To Follow and Who Says down these peoples throats. They'll have zero interest in them so it's most likely what Jon will do. "Educating the crowd and telling them what they've missed". It won't work though, it never has. They're there to hear the hits and I never thought I'd say this, but that's really what this setlist needs.
Salaam Aleikum,
