If you had heard it live as many times (including endless reprises) as some of us, you'd also be happy if Jon finally chose to play something else instead.

Lost Highway is actually a decent track alone, but combined with WLOL it seems to kill the atmosphere for good... Born To Follow was also OK at first (even live), but as soon as the BWC tour started, it had lost all of its energy and is now a complete filler. WGIGO worked on the LH and Circle/GH tours, but since then it's just been dragging without any of its previous power or excitement as a live track (especially now that they don't have the rising platforms for Jon to jump on anymore).

Yeah, you're right!
But it might've been the first time the song had been dropped in the USA since its release.

Agreed. Who Says is the least of problems in a standard Bon Jovi setlist these days.

Are you all doing it on purpose?? No matter what I post, it always goes unnoticed and thoroughly ignored as if it didn't exist at all.

Yeah, there is a big conspiracy group formed behind the scenes whose sole purpose is to make sure that no one reacts to your posts

No, seriously: this happens to all of us from time to time when there are a few different arguments brought up and some react to them and some react to others. To your theory: not really much has changed here in all honesty. The average show length on this tour has been 21/22 songs.
Going back to the start of the Circle tour, the average show length was around 22 or 23 songs on most nights as well. Of course there were some big exceptions, but there were occasions where the encore was soleley Wanted/Prayer as well. Check it out:

Audio for anyone who's interested; I just used my phone in my pocket & tweaked it to make it listenable.

For me, and this is highly personal, but from such a setlist there aren't really that many songs I'd like to hear during a live show.

The only songs I'd keep are

01. -
02. Raise Your Hands
03. You Give Love a Bad Name
04. -
05. -
06. -
07. -
08. It's My Life
09. -
10. -
11. Keep the Faith
12. -
13. Bed of Roses
14. Lay Your Hands on Me
15. Runaway
16. -
17. -
----------------------------
18. (You Want to) Make a Memory
19. Wanted Dead or Alive
20. Livin' on a Prayer

The remaining spots could be substituted with so many other great, and for this time and age, reasonable songs to perform live.

It's the THINFS tour. People expect them to play some THINFS songs and they should play some THINFS Songs. Otherwise it's not really a THINFS concert.

But yes there should be less from LH but keep WGIGO if it works good.

I know that, despite that THINFS is some of the worst shit the band has ever put out, rivaled only by WAN.
