Default The Setlist

I really hope they change things up with the setlist order at the O2 or at least come the next tour. We have been getting some gems in the set (Dry county, These Days, Garageland, Living in sin, Always etc) and im happy with that, but the set as a whole is still far to prediactable and 'safe'.

I cant honestly believe the band/Jon are content with playing the same stuff every night, and watching them run through another stale performance of Bad name and Bad medecine on autopilot is not enjoyable for me. Like i said, i like that they have been including some rarer stuff, and im looking forward to hearing some Lost Highways stuff live, but is it really to much to ask for them to be a bit unpredictable and even reorder their set?

Bad name as #2 has to go. Sure, still play it but we all know by now its the second song. Do the band/Jon really not have the balls to just come out and tear into 'I Believe', 'Hey God' or even 'Raise your hands'? Opening with Rockin in the free world at MK night two was a nice touch, things like that go a long way with with the hardcore fans who appreicate it.

As i said, things look a bit more promising with how the HAND tour went with regards setlists. Am not expecting much at the O2 - itl be a greatest hits set plus 5 or so new songs. But at least reorder the set a bit! I can usually predict the order.
